Possibly the case here is the Variomes backend query that takes a very long time. We could introduce a timeout to shorten the period of trying to get data from the Variomes backend. We also need to check the caching of this requests. Observe the queries that take long time and identify those so that we know what query takes long and let's discuss what we can do to solve the issue.
