Android webview 101 is a few years old but not that old. That being said being on an old webview like that probably means it's an old device. What is the device model? Do you have the same performance issues on desktop?
Thanks for the quick reply. What confuses me is it slowed down only recently on my Fire HD 8 which has been reliably running for many years, and running your card for a little more than a year now. So I purchased a Lenovo M8 - just to be able to use an updated webview in a cheap tablet with a nice dock. It has Webview 13.0.6723.107 which I believe is the latest - updated from Play Store.
It runs great in our Pixel 9 Pro s, and my M3 Max laptop, and all other high compute power devices. I would not have dug in if it wasn't for the fact that it ran fine until only recently.
So in light of that fact, wanted to check if there was any major change you know of that might have slowed things down, or any suggestion eg. caching, less icons etc. to help make things quick.
Fire tablets use Amazon system webview, which is generally worse than Android webview. Does the Lenovo tablet perform any better? I used to use Amazon Fire 7 tablets but replaced most of them with this device. I was able to improve the performance of the Fire tablets by sideloading a newer version of Amazon system webview. I'd try downloading it's APK from here and sideloading a newer version to your tablets using ADB and see if that helps. You may have to use an older version, as I found that when I did it newer versions of webview would fail to install, but I was still able to update it with a newer than my tablets but not latest version and get a performance/stability boost. Also remember to disable updates on them if you haven't, Amazon fire updates tend to make them worse.
Your config loads instantaneously for me. I think this is a problem with the Fire tablet itself. Was it updated recently? Can you try seeing if there's anything else running in the background that could cause performance to drop? Back when I used Fire Tablets I had to disable a lot in settings and using Fire Toolbox to make them usable.
