Based on your information about Anki running slowly, I can help troubleshoot this issue. Slow performance in Anki can be caused by several factors, particularly with multiple add-ons installed.
Troubleshooting Slow Anki Performance
I notice you have 12 active add-ons, which could be contributing to performance issues. Here are some steps to help improve Anki’s speed:
1. Try Safe Mode First
Launch Anki while holding down the Shift key to start in safe mode (disables all add-ons). If performance improves significantly, you know an add-on is causing the issue.
2. Identify Problematic Add-ons
If safe mode fixes the speed issue, try this process:
- Disable half of your add-ons
- Restart Anki
- If performance improves, the problem is in the disabled group
- Continue narrowing down by halving the suspect group until you find the culprit
3. Check Collection Size and Database Health
- Go to Tools → Check Database to ensure your database is healthy
- Large collections with many media files can slow Anki down
4. Review Resource-Intensive Add-ons
Some of your add-ons are known to be more resource-intensive:
- Review Heatmap - can slow performance with large collections
- AnkiHub - when actively syncing media
- More Overview Stats - adds calculations that can impact performance
5. Update Anki and Add-ons
Make sure both Anki and all add-ons are updated to their latest versions.
6. Optimize Media Files
If you have many image-heavy cards, this could impact performance. Consider:
- Optimizing image sizes
- Checking if media sync is complete in AnkiHub (AnkiHub → Media Sync)
Additional Tips
- Close other applications while using Anki
- Restart your computer
- Consider increasing your computer’s RAM if possible
If these steps don’t resolve the issue, please provide more details about exactly when Anki runs slowly (during review, sync, startup, etc.) so I can provide more targeted advice.
