(Help) Slowness in app startup 'first response' time

What I’m trying to do

Switch notes, or open any note just after startup.

Things I have tried

Nothing much really. Tried to run in vanilla mode, but I need some advice on which of the plugins could be causing this.

I have been experiencing a slowdown in app response times. The app opens and renders the last opened note in about 3-5 seconds, but after that, any click or action doesn’t do anything. Doesn’t switch notes either. Everything just freezes for a few more seconds.

The best way to know if it can be interacted with is to check if the calendar has rendered completely or not.

This is my setup on Android.

Obsidian start-up time breakdown

Operating system: android 15 (Nothing A063) Obsidian version: 1.8.10 (197) API version: v1.8.10

  • Total startup time: 6,201ms
  • Initialization: 420ms
  • Vault (3,918 files): 3,134ms
  • Workspace (10 tabs, 9 deferred): 419ms
  • Core plugins: 103ms
  • Community plugins (12 active): 2,126ms
    • Tasks (v7.19.1): 328ms
    • Map View (v5.5.0): 325ms
    • Omnisearch (v1.27.1): 242ms
    • QuickAdd (v1.13.3): 194ms
    • Dataview (v0.5.68): 140ms
    • Natural Language Dates (v0.6.2): 102ms
    • Templater (v2.12.1): 86ms
    • Tracker (v1.16.0): 59ms
    • Calendar (v1.5.10): 56ms
    • Style Settings (v1.0.9): 53ms
    • Periodic Notes (v0.0.17): 50ms
    • Auto Link Title (v1.5.5): 42ms

This is how my calendar is frozen and not loaded fully until after a few seconds.

This does happen on desktop too, so I suspect some plugin is holding up something, but not sure.

Any pointers appreciated.

On Android, this is normal: it is time needed for initialization. Developers continue to work on reducing this startup time even more.

You could try turning a single plugin off and restart the app to see if it makes a difference, then turn it back on to test another plugin, and so on.
