Performance of published links (on Raspberry Pi's)

Hi all,

We're big fans of the published links, and consider them a major advantage over other (otherwise better) tools.

However, when trying to display them on Raspberry Pi's (through various signage software, e.g. YoDeck and Screenly), the performance is quite terrible.

This means that when rotating between different pages, there'll be several (5-10 at best, 20+) seconds of just empty background and logo, before graphs and other elements start to load.

 

For your convenience, I've attached a screenshot of part of a Google Lighthouse report to serve as a starting point for you, or in case anyone has any ideas for easy improvements

  Hello,

  Dashboards are very resource intensive and we have found that Raspberry Pi's and some built in browsers are not capable of running the dashboards. We have a list of supported and tested browsers, but outside of computer browsers we can't guarantee the dashboards will load. I know for some very basic dashboards, without a lot of formulas or complexity, the Raspberry Pi works fine. Have you tried using a computer stick instead?

  "Platform: The Klipfolio dashboard must be run on a personal computer connected to a large screen display. A Smart TV or Raspberry Pi typically doesn't have sufficient memory and processing power to run a Klipfolio dashboard. As a result, we do not support Smart TV native browsers or Raspberry Pi."

  Thanks!
