Why are my routes slow to generate or not generating at all?

Last updated: July 14, 2025

Context

When attempting to generate routes in the system, you may experience issues such as:

  • Routes taking an unusually long time to generate (2+ minutes)

  • Infinite loading/spinning when trying to generate routes

  • Routes not being created after waiting for an extended period

Answer

If you experience issues with route generation, follow these troubleshooting steps:

  1. Clear your browser cache and perform a hard reload

    • This is the most common solution and should be tried first

    • After clearing cache, refresh the page completely

  2. Check your internet connection

    • Ensure you have a stable internet connection with speeds of 100+ Mbps

    • Test your connection speed using a speed test service

  3. Adjust route size

    • If generating large routes (200+ units), try breaking them into smaller batches

    • Start with routes of 25-50 orders to test performance

  4. Log out and log back in

    • If issues persist after clearing cache, try signing out and back into the system

If you continue experiencing issues after trying these steps:

  • Note the specific Route IDs that are affected

  • Document the time when the issue started occurring

  • Contact support with these details for further assistance

For optimal performance, it's recommended to generate routes in smaller batches during peak hours or when experiencing slowdowns.
