Subject of the issue

Vaultwarden server is quite slow. Saving when using Chrome extension can take up to 10 seconds. Website takes long to load and when it loads it only displays the following:

Deployment environment

vaultwarden version: vaultwarden 1.30.1

Install method: Docker image
Clients used: web vault, Chrome extension, Android.
Reverse proxy and version: nginx/1.21.6
MySQL/MariaDB or PostgreSQL version: SQLite
Other relevant details: Served with Cloudflare on custom subdomain. System is quite capable, Ryzen 9, plenty of RAM.

Steps to reproduce

Nothing different from default, just docker image with exposed port 80 and mounted volume on /data.

Expected behaviour

It should be more responsive.

Actual behaviour

It started to be slow and unresponsive suddenly, I didn't update the docker image or change anything, it just suddenly started to become slow. Then I did an update of the docker image, still same issue. Finally, I backed up the db as json, deleted all data, started a fresh vault and imported my data back in, the issue persists.

I believe the issue lays in my data, I must've added some entry in the database that is causing this slowdown, as it started to happen without any change other than new entries to the db. Also, when I started a fresh vault it was fast, until I did the import.

My data is not big, the json was only ~150kb, I have around 170 entries, no attachments or anything fancy, I just use basic fields, custom fields and notes.

Sadly I don't remember exactly when it started to slow down, so I have no clue of which entry I added that caused this, I can do some troubleshooting (deleting recent entries until it works) if it's needed.

Troubleshooting data

I believe only troubleshooting data I can provide is a redacted version of my json that still fails. But it would require some time to build, let me know if it's a must to provide it. Or if you guys have a script that can automatically redact everything, would be great.
