Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with Contractor Foreman. We truly appreciate your honest feedback, and we’re very sorry to hear that the platform’s speed issues have been causing frustration for you and your team. That’s definitely not the experience we want for our users.
Performance and reliability are top priorities for us, and we take concerns like yours seriously. While we continuously work on optimizing system speed and responsiveness, we understand that delays in loading projects and navigating between tabs can have a significant impact on productivity.
We also completely understand and share your frustration regarding the slow loading speed, especially with the Project module. While it may seem like we are not actively addressing this, that is far from the truth.
Since November 2024, we have been working on a major server migration to a new, more powerful server environment. This upgrade will bring significant speed improvements, allowing us to execute PHP threads and MySQL queries much faster compared to the EC2 instances and RDS database currently in use.
But we’re not stopping there. As you may have noticed, we have been gradually rolling out UI improvements across the system. While the Project module already has the new UI, it is still running on older PHP code. We are currently in the process of rewriting it from PHP to React, which will provide a major boost in performance by optimizing the way data is fetched.
These two enhancements—server migration and the React rewrite, are expected to eliminate the loading issues that large accounts with high project volumes, like yours, have been experiencing.
What’s Next?
-The server migration is expected to be completed within the next 45-60 days.
-The Project module rewrite will begin in the coming weeks and could be part of the Spring update.
-We are also evaluating whether to release the Project module update as a separate update to speed up improvements.
-Given that your account has more projects than most, our team is reviewing its performance to identify any immediate optimizations.
We’d love the opportunity to work directly with you to troubleshoot and explore interim solutions that might help alleviate some of the performance concerns while these major updates are underway. Our Director of Customer Success will be reaching out to you shortly to gather more details and ensure we’re addressing your concerns as effectively as possible.
We sincerely appreciate your patience and want to earn back your trust by delivering the improvements you deserve. Thank you again for your feedback, and please keep an eye out for our follow-up. If there’s anything urgent in the meantime, feel free to reach out to support@contractorforeman.com.
We truly value you as a customer and appreciate the opportunity to make things right!
