Important Information

Research shows that users expect pages to load in 2 seconds; longer render times result in users leaving a site, and not viewing the dashboard you have created.

  • Tableau defines performance as critical if a dashboard takes more than 15 seconds to load. The goal is that each dashboard loads in approximately 5 seconds.
