Hello, I'm using Ory Identity. My frontend is hosted on vercel/next.js, my server handler

getServerSideProps

check if the user is authenticated by calling

https://$my-ory-endpoint/session/whoami

. I noticed that the first connection after inactivity is always incredibly slow (1+ secs) and after that everything becomes instant again. I remember asking a while ago (I had the same issue, but on all requests) and now I forward the

cookie

header

client -> vercel -> ory

and the

set-cookie

header

ory -> vercel -> client

so that

__cflb

is always sent. Any way I can debug this issue further?

What do you mean by inactivity? Per-user inactivity? Or is it just a dev project you only use some times?

I mean per-user inactivity

where are those requests coming from? 1+s seems like a lot, but it is probably fast due to caching

Requests are coming from vercel and I have edge caching ("edge sessions" in the console) enabled. I forward the

__cflb

token from the client to ory

ok and it is for sure a per-user inactivity? so two users will experience that when they log in one after the other?

So I did the following tests: • from a different browser but same account (it was fast) • from a different computer and different account (it was fast) Our app is not very interactive (users generate an api key and then use it from the command line).

ok so different account was also fast? then I do know where the culprit is... we'll work on improving that, but it takes a bit of time...

Sounds good. So if people start using their dashboard more often the initial latency will go away?

so this is a per-project thing, every few days one request would take quite long, but only for one of your users

Ok, thank you for confirming that. I thought I did something wrong

we do want to reduce that initial latency, but it will still be there to some extend
