Taking too long to create landing page

I have created a template with lots of Marketo syntaxes and now it is taking too much time ( hours ) while creating the landing pages from that template. Is it normal with Marketo?

I've run into something like this before as a result of having too many editable areas on a Guided Landing Page template. If you're making one "master" template that's got a bunch of different sections in it that turn on/off, you might be running into something like this b/c there is too much content on the template. In my experience, 60-70 editable areas will perform just fine in a template but once you start to get into the 80-100 range it'll slow down when you create a new page (rendering the page in the new editor tab) and give you the "Wait or Exit" popup that you get after a really slow load. 

 

You could test this by making a copy of your template and just deleting the bottom half of it. Use that new template to create a page and see if it loads any faster. If it does, the issue is that you've got too many editable areas on your template. 

 

I haven't run into the same issue w/ variables, those seems to load/process differently and you can have a bunch of them. The editable areas is where you start to pay a performance tax once you get over 50 or so.

Sorry, this isn’t clear. What exactly is taking hours? From when you hit Approve to when it completes approving?

@sanfordwhiteman Thank you so much for your reply!

In the template section ( below 1st screen ), I have created one landing page template and when I try to create a landing page on the landing pages section ( below 2nd screen ), it is taking too much time like a couple of hours ( approximately 1-2 hours ) and also my browser got crashed many times ( below 3rd screen ) before loading all the content, variables from the template in Marketo landing page UI editor.

 

Please let me know if I need to share anything else, thanks!

Can you please move those images into your post itself? You can paste images here on the Nation and it’s a lot clearer for future users to have non-expiring images.
