How to Troubleshoot Documents That Take a Long Time to Open in Displayr

If a document takes a long time to open or compute it is likely that the cause of this is one or more of the following reasons:

There is a table on the first page of your document which is very slow to compute.
The document has a large data file, but it is not saved as an SPSS file. Displayr can load large SPSS files much faster than it can load other formats. If your data is large and in a different format, consider resaving it as an SPSS file via Share > Export Data > Download as SPSS (.SAV).
It is a large uncompressed SPSS file (1 GB or more). These can be very slow to load. You can consider importing your data into Displayr as a .QDat file via Share > Export Data > To Displayr Cloud Drive as Q Data File (.QDat) and updating your document with the compressed file from the Displayr Cloud Drive. You should notice a dramatic reduction in the size of the data file. See How to Reduce the Size of a Data File for Upload to the Displayr Cloud.
It is a large file and is saved as an SPSS file, but your document is still slow. See Reduce the Number of Unnecessary Variable and Variable Sets.
Omit old data (e.g. if you are only showing the last 12 months of data, then delete earlier data) from your source data file. See How to Delete Cases From a Data Set
Omit unused variables, e.g., variables used in previous versions of your project that you no longer need. See How to Delete Variables From a Project.
