    Reporting performance issues

    • GoLand is completely frozen and does not respond to any actions? The IDE performance is slower than expected, CPU usage is high, and you suspect a memory leak? To resolve your issue, JetBrains might need a memory snapshot, profiler information, or a thread dump.

      Find the information about collecting the data in Reporting performance issues.

      For more information about troubleshooting these issues, refer to Reporting performance problems.
