Improve Portal Performance
The Azure Portal performance is horribly slow! The blades take too much time to load and keep moving back and forward while loading. Switching from one "Blade Flow" to another take about half a minute of loading time.
I know there is already an issue similar to this in this User Voice, however someone from Microsoft marked the task as Completed. Clearly this is not completed or fixed. Our whole company is adopting Microsoft Azure and this is the number one complaint that I have. I can also help replicate it if need be, but I am sure it is very easily replicable. You can even see Russinovich webcast and feel how laggy the portal is: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/overview/azure-stack/webcast/

Hey,
This is something we’re still actively working on. It has a been a big area of investment and it still is moving forward. We keep investing in performance, both from a client and server side perspective.
We have a few things coming in the near future which should help address some of the initial UI performance issues. We’re also heavily engaged with all of our partners driving a broad effort to improve performance across the portal for all experiences.
If you have any specific areas which are causing pain please feel free to reach out to me or comment and state if we can contact you, it would be great to understand the common pain points.
Cheers,
Sean.

All to often I experience serious performance issues when managing Azure resources. The performance issues are not only related to the portal. Even Azure CLI operations are a lot slower that what should be expected. I experience the same performance issues on multiple tenants in different locations. I don't know if it is related to an undersized core infrastructure or if it is simply related to innefficient code and architecture. In any case it should be a top priority to improve on the performance!

The new VM size selection blade has been extremely slow since it was changed to the list view. You cannot filter until it loads fully, which is very frustrating when you know you need 4 cores or a specific series of VMs. This is in Edge browser Microsoft Edge 41.16299.248.0 on Windows 10.0.16299

Really bad perfomance;
I get errors like these in the console;

Portal is really slow. WIthout cache it takes 1 minute to load all my dashboard and with cache about 25 secs.
Need to improve on this. I checked network and it´s doing lots of requests. hundreds.

Last time this issue was raised, you have made amends. Good.... But Have you checked where the bottleneck is? It is still slow... :-(

We have close to the portal, as I see, but it is very-very slow,

The previous Idea wasn't completed, can you re-open it please.

The poor performance of the portal is not a good advertisement for Azure's ability to scale. Loading a dashboard with 10 tiles takes a full 30 seconds. Today, the Team Services blade is not loading at all.

I suppose that placing a node of the web instance or just a caching node in every country will do the job just fine.

Had to use azure portal for an old application.... After migrating to aws a few years ago, I am reminded again why I migrated. The portal is not any faster.. Did they not spend any money on hardware upgrade in the past few years?

Please make the portal functional. Making the portal faster is not an enhancement, it is not a bug, it is an incomplete project.
I have been attempting to create a new database for over 6 hours. I am not able to provision one due to the pricing tier refusing to load. I have tried multiple times. I have let the screen attempt to load for hours. It does not work.
What makes this issue even worse are the nonchalant responses: "We continue to invest in performance as a priority for the portal."
What is that? That is not a response.
Microsoft clearly does not invest in performance since this has been an on-going issue for years. What is Microsoft doing to improve performance? Why has it not been fixed? Why does Microsoft only seem to invest in shinny flashy useless UI features that make getting work done harder? Microsoft has claimed to have fixed it multiple times and closed down these complaints as "Complete". It is not complete.

Portal is unusable. Nothing will load for me. How am I to manage my projects if I cannot even load preference screens. This is likely a deal breaker. A dull looking functional version is much preferred.

The portal is unusable most of the time. It's gotten worse over the past three weeks. I'm an Azure developer and the poor performance is affecting our development cycles. To make matters worse, I cannot rely on the portal to get through a simple customer demo!
This is an egregious problem, Azure team. PLEASE response to tell us you understand the severity of the issue. A perfunctory reply of, "we continue to work on performance" sounds like a brush off and you don't really believe us!

This issue must be reopened:

Seriously why is the portal so slow? It takes ages to load and then keeps crashing forcing me to do full page refreshes in order to get it working again. I really want to use Azure but you cant even make your own portal fast? doesn't look good for our apps. I am seriously considering swapping to Amazon because of this is anything being done?
Thanks,

Why has it not been fixed? When you have LOTS of customers complaining about a slow portal, then it probably should be fixed SOON.
There are commends from 2015 and prior complaining about how slow it is, and now it is 2016, and still nothing... Seems like typical Microsoft.
Not only is it slow, there are some major memory leak issues.
Within minutes of opening the portal, it climbs to 12 GB. That's in Gigabytes of memory!!!!
Really?

Automation account blade keeps spinning. I've been waiting about 10 min and yet to see any jobs/schedules.

Make the portal faster and more responsive
it takes on average 195 Seconds from logging on to refresh the status of 175 Azure VM's in the portal
I can refresh the same number of VM's in my on premise estate in only 20 seconds why is there such a difference -

I like the UI and the new multiple dashboards, but it is so painfully slow that at times it is unusable, especially when editing dashboards.
