Why App Store Download Slow
Divina Hujer
Had this again in an OpenSUSE VM (100-200K/s). I nuked the VM and restored it back and re-ran the commands with tracing on. Installing 11 snaps in a row, they all came down at 8MB/s. Really frustrating to not be able to reproduce this on demand.
Snap downloads are served from a CDN and the URLs they provide vary according to several factors, which 1) explains why it happens only sometimes, but 2) really needs us to find a common factor in the slow ones so we can find a fix, which will most likely involve bringing this up with the CDN provider.
I was helping some other users based in China to identify the slow download issues.
The download process will access to two servers - 1. api.snapcraft.io 2. CDN server, the mirror of the snap binary.
If a customer contacts you about the speed of your store, then ask your customer to check that they're on the latest version of their browser, they have recently cleared their cache, and their Internet service provider isn't experiencing any outages or degraded performance.
CDN stands for content delivery network. Shopify provides merchants a world-class CDN run by Cloudflare that ensures that your online store loads quickly around the globe. You can check the CDN status on the Cloudflare status page.
Your store caches, or saves, some elements on your customer's local storage temporarily. The next time your customer visits your online store, the browser can load resources from the cache instead of sending another request to the server.
In addition to local browser caching, Shopify caches pages on the server side. The first time a page is loaded, it might be slower, but later page loads are faster because customers are receiving a cached copy.
The `` Liquid object injects assets used by a variety of online store features, including performance analytics and optional features like dynamic checkout buttons. Loading this object and related assets has an impact on the speed of your store. Shopify is optimizing the tag and its assets to make it faster.
When you add apps to change the functionality or appearance of your online store, they add code into the theme so they can run. Some code can be removed or reordered to improve your online store's performance. If you're not using an app, then you can remove it.
Certain features, when activated, might also affect your store speed. For example, some quick view pop-ups pre-load information from every product page when a collection page loads. Loading extra data your customers aren't using can impact your store speed without adding value.
You can edit almost all of the Liquid that is used to render your store. There are efficient and inefficient ways of writing Liquid code. Doing complex operations repeatedly can increase your Liquid render time, which impacts your overall store speed.

Oversized images and images that are hidden from view can interfere with loading other, more important parts of a page. If users have to wait for large images to load, then they might perceive your store to be slow.
You can choose from several fonts for the text in your online store. However, if you use a font that does not yet exist on your customer's computer, then the font has to be downloaded before your text can be displayed. This impacts the time that your store takes to load.
Shopify's Online store speed report uses Lighthouse to measure the speed of your store. You can run your own Lighthouse report using Google PageSpeed Insights to view more detailed metrics for pages in your store. To learn about what these metrics mean, refer to the Google Lighthouse performance scoring documentation. You can also hire a Shopify Partner to help you understand the metrics and suggest improvements.Learn more about hiring a Shopify Partner.
Because the test conditions are different when run from Google PageSpeed Insights, your score might be different from the score listed in the Online store speed report. Learn about the Shopify test environment.

I literally have stopped buying games because I don't want to spend three days downloading a new one. It's absolutely ridiculous. I have 100MB internet, my Quest 2 can hit over 500MB/s locally when testing and hit 100MB over the internet. My Quest 1 has the same slow speeds. Been like this for months.
One thing I am having problems with is the "Ubuntu Software" app, aka snap-store. This is my first time using a distro with Snap. Browsing and searching is very slow - searching and opening category pages can easily take 5-10 seconds or more...and that's if they ever load. No images show at all (except for icons for installed software), although it's apparent there are supposed to be screenshots and icons/logos.
I am experiencing the same slowness. I am in iTunes, the latest version 10.2.2 (12) - although this was happening with the previous version too. I choose the selection to review all my IOS apps that have upgrades available. The "My App Updates" page takes quite a long time to populate. (this used to be very quick). When I mouse-over an icon of an app, my pointer changes from an arrow to a hand/finger as it should, however clicking on any icons results in nothing. No action is taken. I can select the button, "Get Update" and iTunes will download the new version of the chosen app - however without the ability to review the apps' upgrade notes first, I don't know if I want to choose that update for fear that the new version may be "more broken" than the previous.
However, if I search the iTunes website using a browser, I am able to make my way to any app to see the current reviews - although you can't seem to see as much information as you could when viewing through iTunes. This access is running at the normal expected speed - so I really believe that the problem is somewhere in the iTunes application or how it interacts with Apple's app store.
I have the same problem. Donwloading some App from any of Apple device we have in house (MacBooks, iPhones or iPad) is very slow. I've also tried to download something at work and it's tha same. The speed is very slow. Actually I've downloaded 700 Mb (about 10min from Rapidshare) video file fastest than GTA Chinatown for iPad 400Mb (about 30 min)...
I too am finding the itunes store unbearably slow. Its painful. I'm using a laptop with Win 7, am on latest itunes version (10.4.0.80) and most of the time have to close & restart itunes to get the store to change page - otherwise it just hangs when trying to search or return to home page. Its horrendous.
I was using iOS 4.1 on my iP4 since last Oct., apart from the sporatic wifi connectivity issue, all was well. The wifi issue kept persisting and nothing I did fixed it (did all the standard troubleshooting...again). Apple Care said I had to update to (at the time) 4.3.3 before they could help me. So I did, didn't help any, but I also noticed how certain things I did was lagging. ie. flipping through the screens, launching and quitting of apps, and yes, accessing the App Store. Everything was taking about 3-4 second longer. . Apple Genius noticed the connection issue as well as the lags, so gave me a new iPhone 4 with 4.3.3. Lags are still there, and App Store is very slow.
My Ubuntu Software center (Snap Store) is very slow when searching software, even when the software is not available. I using it logged in and tried several mirrors (local, USA, Europe) and the recommended mirrors after test.
Greetings, I reviewed several Linux distributions made in Ubuntu, both official and unofficial, and all of them load the stores quickly, except for Zorin Os, which loads the store slowly, how do I solve it? or because it loads slowly, both the store and install something from it.
The Software Store on Zorin OS includes several plugins, including the handy one you can see when you select an installed app and a button appears on the upper headerbar that shows the Source of the package; whether it is installed from Snap, Flatpak or APT.
This may be the cause of a slower loading time.
The problem was not a network problem, but a SAN problem.
The part of the SAN the broker stored its document sometimes got exchausted which caused the broker to stall and close all the connections.
When a new connection is established (ISBROKER) the broker must drain the documents from the outbound document store. This takes some time and during that period it takes approx. 5-10s to publish a document - which again causes the thread count to rise very quickly.
I am using the App Store Connect API to receive information about my app. I have noticed that the API is so extremely slow. Are there any tipps to speed up the requests? Take this request for example:
Other requests are very slow as well. For simple requests like that I expect response times within a couple of hundreds milliseconds.Am I missing something? I have used Postman to send the request.I did not send any additional headers, only the Authorisation one.
As for the growing time-slices of data, few time-slices of data per day is small enough that it should be fairly straightforward to handle once the data is cleaned up a little. Suggest reviewing the workflow to generate the source Zarr store from the NetCDF files.
