This means you won’t get up-to-date data all the time, but your reports would load faster.\u003C/li>\u003C/ul>\u003Cp>Alternatively, you can switch to a much faster and stable platform like&nbsp;\u003Ca href=\"https://whatagraph.com/\">Whatagraph\u003C/a> which can handle 10 sources and 100&nbsp;widgets without slowing down, and has an uptime of 99.95%.

You can connect all the data you need using our native, plug-and-go&nbsp;connectors and transform it any way you want through no-code flows. Then, pick&nbsp;metrics and dimensions, preview your data table, and&nbsp;\u003Ca href=\"https://whatagraph.com/data-transfer/looker-studio\">start an automated transfer to&nbsp;Looker Studio\u003C/a>.&nbsp;\u003C/li>\u003C/ol>\u003Cp>Or, you can just use Whatagraph for the entire data flow from connection → transformation →&nbsp;visualization.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>While&nbsp;Looker Studio is limited to 5&nbsp;data sources per blend, with Whatagraph, you can create blends from unlimited sources.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>And you won’t need to tinker with&nbsp;spreadsheets or&nbsp;BigQuery to manipulate your data – you can simply set everything up in no-code workflows.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>For instance, say you want to see the total ad spend across three paid-per-click (PPC) channels –&nbsp;Google Ads, Facebook Ads, and LinkedIn Ads.
