High RAM Usage and Slow Preview on v0

While developing my project on v0, it gets deployed in the background on Supabase and Vercel. However, when I want to instantly see the changes I make during development, the project sometimes becomes unresponsive—even the buttons stop working—and I constantly have to refresh the page.

I don’t think this issue is caused by a code error, but rather by the preview process itself. In addition, the RAM usage is extremely high, and everything loads very slowly. There are noticeable stutters when handling requests.

With each page refresh, the loading time increases further, and even a small change results in longer waiting times. I experience these issues on both high-end and mid-range devices.

Do you have any suggestions for this? And is there any plan to optimize the RAM usage?

Can you share a chat url where you’re experiencing this?

This sounds like a memory leak, and while it’s possible for a general error in v0, most similar performance issues have been triggered by code running in the sandbox so I’d want to rule that out first

On larger projects v0 loads the preview very slow, my preview loading times take around 20-50s to load my main project.

Can’t I just push this to GitHub, pull it again, clean up the chat/history, etc. to fix it?
How exactly can I do that?
I’ve seen many people on forums experiencing a similar issue.

You can create a new branch here through the git integration, which will move you into a forked chat with a clear history

Then you can pull that locally, make changes, and when you push them it’ll sync back into your v0 chat

I also am experiencing VERY slow performance of v0 when loading to point where its basically unusable https://v0.app/chat/www-askelephant-ai-vKjfAOSdr2s
