How It Works

WebSocket Connection

GoonPad uses WebSocket protocol for bidirectional, real-time communication:

Browser ←→ WebSocket ←→ GoonPad Backend ←→ Solana Blockchain

Benefits:

• Instant updates (< 1 second)
• No page refreshing needed
• Low bandwidth usage
• Efficient data transfer

Subscription Model

The platform uses pub/sub pattern:

1. You connect to WebSocket server
2. Backend subscribes to Solana blockchain events
3. Events stream to all connected clients
4. UI updates automatically

Performance

Optimizations

GoonPad optimizes real-time performance:

Debouncing:

• Rapid updates batched
• UI updates max 60 FPS
• Prevents flickering

Smart Loading:

• Only visible tokens updated
• Scrolled-away tokens paused
• Memory-efficient

Connection Management:

• Auto-reconnect on disconnect
• Exponential backoff
• No duplicate subscriptions

Network Usage

Typical bandwidth:

• Idle: ~1 KB/s (heartbeat)
• Active trading: ~5-10 KB/s
• High activity: ~20 KB/s

Very efficient compared to polling!

Real-time features work on:

• ✅ Chrome/Edge (full support)
• ✅ Firefox (full support)

Troubleshooting

Updates Not Working

Check:

1. Internet connection stable?
2. Browser WebSocket support (F12 → Network → WS)
3. Ad-blocker not blocking connections?
4. Page recently refreshed?

Fix:

• Refresh page (Ctrl+R / Cmd+R)
• Check browser console for errors
• Disable ad-blockers temporarily

Delayed Updates

Causes:

• Slow internet connection
• High platform traffic
• Solana RPC lag

Solutions:

• Check internet speed
• Try different browser
• Wait for traffic to decrease

Connection Drops

Why:

• Network interruption
• Mobile data switch
• VPN disconnect

Auto-recovery:

• Platform auto-reconnects
• Subscriptions restored
• Data synced on reconnect
