Alright, let’s get into it. If your DOMO dashboards feel like they’re dragging—or worse, just breaking entirely—you’re not imagining it. Lagging visuals, cards that don’t load, missing charts… these issues show up often. And yes, they have real fixes.

Let me walk you through what’s likely going wrong, and more importantly, what you can actually do about it.

First: Too Many Cards

If you’ve packed dozens of cards onto a single page, that’s already a problem. DOMO doesn’t love that. It renders each one in your browser. So more cards? More load time.

Try this:

• Break your data into several views.
• Keep it under 15 cards per page.
• Use filters so users don’t load everything at once.

A lot of people search things like “domo card broken” or “dashboard not loading fast.” These tips usually solve that.

Next Up: Beast Modes Gone Wild

Beast Modes are powerful. But when you’ve got too many nested conditions or heavy logic, the dashboard pays the price.

What to do:

• Shift logic into DOMO ETL or SQL steps.
• Flatten logic with lookup tables.
• Pre-aggregate where live updates aren’t critical.

If your visuals just won’t load—or load slowly—this is often the root.

Third: Slow Dataflows

When dashboards feel sluggish, your upstream dataflows might be the bottleneck.

Here’s what helps:

• Review joins and filters for inefficiency.
• Consider moving from Magic ETL to MySQL Dataflows if you're handling large volumes.
• Schedule heavy jobs during low-traffic times.

DOMO’s community forum has tons of discussions on optimizing data pipelines:

Fourth: No Indexes? No Speed.

Big tables with no clear keys or time fields? That kills performance.

You’ll want to:

• Add IDs, timestamps, or both.
• Partition when dealing with wide historical datasets.
• Snapshot large datasets for smoother performance.

This often clears up “domo chart missing data” issues that seem random at first.

Fifth: Outdated Browsers

DOMO runs through your browser. If that browser’s behind on updates or bloated with extensions, it’ll show.

Quick fix:

• Use the most recent version of Chrome or Edge.
• Clear cache and cookies.
• Test in Incognito mode to rule out conflicts.

Last One: Broken Cards

Sometimes, a single card hangs everything up. Even if it doesn’t look broken, it could be.

Steps to troubleshoot:

• Open DevTools (F12), go to the Console tab, and refresh.
• Look for error messages tied to specific cards.
• Rebuild or remove the card if it’s the culprit.

You can also check out their diagnostic tools in the DOMO Admin Toolkit.

Bonus: Tools That Help

• DOMO Activity Log: Great for tracking refresh issues
• DevTools Console: Pinpoints frontend errors
• DOMO Status Page: status.domo.com to check platform uptime

Bottom line? Fast dashboards win attention. Slow ones lose trust.

Fix what’s heavy. Rebuild what’s broken. And use the built-in tools DOMO already gives you to track what’s really going on behind the scenes.
