Browser performance problems with large survey?

My survey is not performing well in the browser - it loads slowly, buttons are not very responsive, it scrolls unevenly. The overall survey is about 100 questions, it contains a 3 question skip sequence on ‘place of residence’ (county > district > town). This sequence is composed of about 180 questions (ie. 16 counties + 160 districts. Each district contains a fairly lengthy list of towns - so, I assume this table of response options is quite large. In addition, the residence question occurs twice (eg. where 2015? where 2013?).

I’ve tested it on an iPhone4 (iOS7) and iPhone 6 (iOS8).

Should I expect performance problems with a survey of this length?

Any feedback or advice would be very helpful.

thanks,

Hi gk,

Should I expect performance problems with a survey of this length?

There are no hard and fast rules. The performance is pretty complex so it requires looking into your specific form. Sometimes, a simple tweak can make a big difference. If you post your form, maybe somebody can help identify potential opportunities to improve performance.

Cheers,
Martijn
