Hi everyone,
I’ve been moving a lot of our tracking to server-side containers via Stape, and while the infrastructure is solid, I’ve hit a snag regarding the responsiveness of the Preview mode/Debugger when my local machine is under heavy load.
I’ve noticed that whenever my local environment is under significant resource pressure—specifically when I’m running several background automation scripts or testing the arceus xexecutor for its multi-threading capabilities—the Stape debugger interface becomes very “sluggish.” The most frustrating part is that the incoming requests in the GTM preview pane often fail to populate in real-time, or I get “Console log” timeouts. While I was discussing these environmental bottlenecks with some other developers, it seemed like the browser’s main thread was being deprioritized, causing the WebSocket connection to the Stape preview server to drop during these high-concurrency spikes.
Has anyone else noticed their debugging experience hitting silent API timeouts or rendering lag if there are other high-performance tasks running in the background? I’m also seeing occasional “408 Request Timeout” errors in the browser console when the system is under load, which makes me think the network stack is struggling to handle the data stream alongside the background processes.
I’m trying to figure out if there’s a way to make the debugging session more resilient—perhaps by increasing the persistent session duration or if I should look into a more aggressive browser memory allocation to ensure the UI remains fluid in “noisy” multitasking environments. If you’ve dealt with stabilizing your tracking setup while multitasking heavily—or have tips on preventing these silent script failures—I’d really value your advice!
Best regards!
