Loading and Performance Issues

Loading and performance issues affect how responsive the Salesforce mobile app is and how quickly it loads.
Issue Solution
If a Visualforce Page or Lightning Tab is set as the landing page, there may be page loading errors and slow performance. The error messages “We got stuck in a loop while loading the page” or “It’s taking awhile to load this page. You can keep waiting or try again” may appear. Select a standard tab as the landing page.
