Designer crashes after adding 10+ CMS items on page

UPDATE AND HOW I FIXED IT - KIND OF:

I hope this helps other people who may be having the same issue! :slight_smile:

Note: There’s still a problem in the designer with CMS items, but this is a temporary workaround.

I had 15 CMS fields connected to each collection item being displayed. Once I removed 6 of the connected CMS fields (leaving me with 9 connected fields in each cms item) it let me publish the site with more than 10 CMS items in the collection list.

Will this problem of the designer crashing and not letting me publish get worse as I create more CMS items? I’ll be adding quite a few CMS items.

I’d also like to be able to connect more than 9 fields to each CMS item. Is there anything I can do to allow me to connect more than 9 CMS fields to each item without the designer crashing and freezing?

Will a more powerful desktop like an iMac pro have any impact on this? Does it have to do with my CPU, GPU, or RAM? By the way, I have no idea what I’m talking about when it comes to hardware. haha.

Thanks in advance for any help. :slight_smile:

**Edit: I shared another work around I found with jetboost.io below. If your having the same problem as me, this will keep your designer running smoothly with a lot of CMS items (plus a lot of connected CMS fields) on a page. Mine hasn’t froze, crashed, or slowed down since I setup jetboost’s pagination booster.
