In short
Workload Unit Surgery is a $499 USD fixed-price service from Red Center Studio that finds the searches, workflows and page loads using the most workload units in a Bubble app and rewrites them, with a before-and-after usage comparison from your logs. It usually takes 3 to 7 business days, depending on the size of the app.
Who it is for
- Bubble app owners whose workload unit usage keeps climbing.
- Apps that slowed down as data and users grew.
- Founders who want to stay on Bubble and run it more efficiently.

Workload Unit Surgery questions
Why are my Bubble workload units so high?
The most common causes are nested searches, filtering large lists in the browser, repeating groups that load too much data, and recursive or scheduled workflows that run more often than needed. The surgery finds which of these apply in your logs.
What does Workload Unit Surgery cost?
$499 USD for the heaviest usage drains in your app, usually done in 3 to 7 business days. A deeper rework is quoted before it starts.
What if the usage comes from public traffic?
If most of the usage comes from public pages or heavy public searches, the Hybrid Offload keeps your app where it is and moves that traffic to Cloudflare. It is covered on the website and app migrations page.
