Hi Community!

I have a dashboard tile that couldn't load (shows blank) in dashboard most of the times (sometimes it loads), but when clicking into the explore, it can show properly. What can be done to make it load better in dashboards? Thanks.

Hi @ginandtobby ,

Yes, cache behavior in Looker can be influenced, though not fully controlled. A few suggestions:

  • Avoid changing filters frequently, as it may bypass cache.

  • Use persist_for and persist_with in LookML to define how long results are cached and under what conditions.

  • Ensure dashboards reuse queries by keeping filters consistent.

  • Custom fields and large queries may not cache well.

  • If you're using Looker Admin, check connection settings for cache-related options.
