I haven't tried Linear, but my company uses Jira. It's abysmally slow. Not "there are too many tickets and it's hard to manage" slow, just the interface is slow. I opened an issue link in a new tab. It took about 7 seconds for the page to become interactive (able to click on the issue status and get a dropdown) and about 9 seconds for the loading to complete and elements to stop jumping around. This is in Firefox 78 on a Lenovo T480 with 8th-gen Core i7 CPU. Speed.cloudflare.com reports 28.5ms latency with 38.1ms jitter, 339Mbps down. Not a generally slow setup. At least in the case of Jira the interface speed is a huge issue.


This. Jira used to be famous for it's ease of use and fantastic cross linking between artifacts, but now it's always just very slow.


Is there a site that lets you run performance profiles in browser developer tools and share the results? I could imagine that being really useful internally for devs troubleshooting and working with support.

It'd be harder to pull off as a way to shame poor performance because of the need to compare like with like, but I think it's needed to get the attention of folks.

Accessibility checkers are often rudimentary, but they are available to non-technical folks in companies and can be very effective at getting a conversation started.


No clue. I'm an embedded dev, so my method for getting the numbers above was the stopwatch part of my phone's clock app. Thus the "about" qualifiers.

But it's slow enough to use a damn stopwatch app manually. That technique shouldn't even enter the discussion!
