When working with Tableau, we should always strive to optimize the performance of our workbooks. Even if we develop astonishing dashboards with great functionalities, our users' experience will not be optimal if our workbook works too slow. Especially in business, time is essential. Our stakeholders often don't have time to wait for our workbook to load. Despite all the effort we put into the workbook, the overall impression of our work would be tainted. To achieve the best possible results, it's important to test the performance of the workbook during development, and address issues that may appear. In this chapter, we'll learn some handy techniques for assessing and optimizing workbook performance, as well as for troubleshooting issues.
