FAQPage Schema
How do I speed up my slow Streamlit dashboard?

To speed up a slow Streamlit dashboard, you must reduce unnecessary reruns and improve resource usage by implementing proper caching, fragments, forms, and conditional rendering techniques.

Why does my Streamlit app rerun the entire script on every interaction?

Streamlit executes the entire script from top to bottom on every interaction by default, causing reruns. You can control this behavior using fragments and forms to isolate execution and prevent full script reruns.

What is the best way to optimize data loading in Streamlit applications?

Optimizing data loading in Streamlit applications requires applying caching strategies to data fetching and model initialization, which prevents reloading large datasets and speeds up application response times.

Can I use fragments and conditional rendering to improve Streamlit performance?

Yes, you can use fragments and conditional rendering to improve Streamlit performance by isolating specific parts of your application to execute independently, reducing the computational overhead of unnecessary full reruns.

How do I handle large datasets in Streamlit without making the app sluggish?

To handle large datasets without making your Streamlit app sluggish, you need to optimize data handling and apply targeted caching techniques to manage computational resources more efficiently.
