Network Best Practices
Issues within your network or latency between your device and your Salesforce environment can affect load times.
Accessing a host instance from a different geographical location can lead to slow performance. You can find your Salesforce org’s instance listed under the Your Server field in the Salesforce Performance Test.
Latency issues between the client device and remotely located web servers or issues within your network can cause degraded performance. Virtual private networks that require routing through a corporate office or data center before rerouting to a Salesforce org can increase latency. Your company’s network admin or IT professionals can assess your network latency when connecting to your Salesforce environment.
Enable CDN to Load Lightning Experience Faster
A content delivery network (CDN) improves the load time of static content by storing cached versions in multiple geographic locations. Salesforce partners with Cloudfront to serve static content from the Lightning Component framework. To enable Lightning Experience to serve static content and reduce page load times for your users, select Enable Content Delivery Network (CDN) for Lightning Component framework in . When the CDN is enabled, it turns on CDN delivery for the static JavaScript and CSS in the Lightning Component framework that powers Lightning Experience. It doesn’t distribute your Salesforce data or metadata in a CDN.
