How can you effectively prevent deleted pages from consuming workload units (WU)?

Seriously! Do deleted pages consume workload Units?

Yes! Deleted pages do consumer workload units. To understand why they consume it and how to effectively prevent them, Let’s understand the type of deleted pages.

2 categories of deleted pages in Bubble.io

There are 2 kinds of deleted pages in the bubble.

1. Pages you created and then deleted from the editor manually.

2. Deleted but not created by you are default pages automatically set up by Bubble, such as the index and 404 pages.

Why do these deleted pages consume workload units?

• Manually deleted pages by you can consume workload units if they had workflows attached to them that were not properly removed before deletion. This can happen because the system continues recognizing the workflows until they are explicitly removed or the associated elements are deleted. If you have deleted pages and notice unexpected workload consumption, it may be due to these lingering workflows.

• Default pages set up by bubble and not manually created by you are necessary. for example, The 404 page specifically displays an error when someone attempts to access a non-existent page.

  So, if you come across deleted pages you didn't create, they are likely the default ones by bubble and when they load, they consume workload units.

How to stop these deleted pages from consuming workload units (WU)?

• To optimize your Bubble application when dealing with default pages that have been deleted but not created by you or pages that were created and deleted by you, consider the following steps:

  1. Make sure all workflows are correctly deleted before removing pages or elements in the future. It's crucial to understand that once these deleted elements are no longer in the system, they will no longer consume workload units.

  2. Upgrade to the latest Bubble version to benefit from recent performance improvements.

  3. Uninstall any plugins that are not actively used in your application.

  4. Remove broken links from internal application navigation which leads to the loading of 404 pages.

  5. Utilize the 'clean app/app optimization' tool in Settings > General to help streamline your app's performance.

     

Implementing this will not just only reduce unnecessary workload unit consumption but will improve the performance of your application as well.
