Troubleshooting Network Performance in NetSuite

When to Suspect Network Issues

You may be experiencing network performance issues if:

  • Pages (like customer records or transactions) load slowly.
  • Reports or saved searches take longer than usual to display.

Check Performance Using Performance Details Window

  1. Double-click the NetSuite logo in the top-left corner of any page.
  2. This opens the Performance Details window.

Fields in the Performance Details Window

Total – Total time to load the page (in seconds). May not include reports or dashboards.

Server – Time spent on NetSuite’s servers (includes scripts, workflows, customizations).

Server SuiteScript – Time spent on server-side scripting (in seconds and % of Server time).

Server Workflow – Time spent running workflows (in seconds and % of Server time).

Network – Time for data to travel from NetSuite servers to your browser. High value suggests ISP issues.

Client – Time for your browser/computer to render the page. High value indicates client-side slowness.

Page – URL of the page you are on.

Email – User’s email address.

Time – Date and time of the test.

Only Client, Page, Email, and Time are shown if the server doesn’t return end-to-end metrics.

  • Use a wired connection or stable Wi-Fi.
  • Clear browser cache.
  • Avoid browser extensions during troubleshooting.
  • Use recommended browsers (e.g., Chrome, Firefox).
