[Bug]: MetaMask popup very slow to appear (20+ seconds) #23544

Open william2313 opened 3 months ago

Describe the bug

Whenever I want to interact with a smart contract from a dapp, the MetaMask popup takes more than 20 seconds to load. This is not a recent bug, it has been occurring for at least the last 2 years in Chrome, Edge and Brave. I have taken the following steps to try to fix this:

  1. removed all unneeded accounts
  2. removed any unneeded (test) networks
  3. disabled all other browser extensions
  4. cleared activity tab data
  5. uninstalled MetaMask extension, cleared browser cache, restarted browser and re-installed MetaMask (and imported my existing account with the secret recovery phrase)

All this had no noticeable effect. To be clear, the delay occurs on EVERY kind of smart contract transaction on all chains. (I use dozens of different well known dapps on several well known chains). In fact, I have not seen the popup appearing without delay a single time during the last 2 years.

Expected behavior

Loading the MetaMask popup should take no more than 5 seconds for a reasonable user experience.

@william2313 Does the bug occur when creating a non-smart contract transaction from a dapp (e.g. just a simple eth send) ?

william2313 commented 3 months ago

@danjm No, because that's initiated with the send button from the MetaMask UI, so the popup doesn't need to load. The send screen appears within 3 seconds.

danjm commented 3 months ago

Could you test the "Send Eth" button on our test dapp? https://metamask.github.io/test-dapp/

You don't need to confirm the transaction, just click "Send Eth" and see how long the popup takes to appear. You could do it on a test net if you wanted.

william2313 commented 3 months ago

@danjm Ok, I did that. "Send legacy transaction" took 20 seconds for the popup to appear (fully populated). "Send EIP 1559 tx" took 25 seconds. This was on mainnet.

Do you or anybody know if I am the only one with this problem or are others having this problem too?
