Facing Serious CMS Lag

Design help CMS
1

I’ve been trying to write a blog in the CMS for the past two days, but it keeps lagging badly. Every time I type a word, the screen freezes for around 5 minutes, making it nearly impossible to work. It’s been extremely frustrating.

Could someone please help me resolve the issue?

Hi there,

If you’re experiencing slow performance while working in the CMS, here are the main factors that could be causing this and how to address them:

Your site’s performance can be impacted by:

  • Third-party integrations: Review and update or remove any outdated or unnecessary integrations
  • Complex animations: Excessive transitions and transforms can significantly slow down your site
  • Embedded content: Multiple embeds can increase loading times
  • Linked elements: Having too many linked elements across your site can affect performance

To improve your site’s performance, start by auditing these elements and removing any that aren’t essential. Pay special attention to third-party scripts and complex animations, as these often have the biggest impact on site speed.

Hopefully this helps! If you still need assistance, please reply here so somebody from the community can help.

Do you have the same problem on other pages?

If it’s a very heavyweight page, like 20 collection lists with 100 items each containing content… you’ll struggle because you’re pushing your system and browser limits.

If you’re seeing the problem site-wide, I’d check browser extensions and try disconnecting from your VPN if you’re using one.

Also try from a different network, and a different machine, like home vs work.

I am having the same problem with other pages as well. I have uploaded a bigger blogs then this with more content but never faced such issues in the past

^ Then this is you next step to isolating it. It’s likely either network, browser, or machine.

If on this same machine + browser + network, you’re still able to open other similarly-sized CMS projects with no lag, I suppose it could be project-specific but that’s unlikely. In that case, I’d check Site-wide and page-specific custom code for anything that could be broken. Probably also uninstall any Designer Apps you’re using just to verify there is no network impact there.

If you’re familiar with Chrome devtools, you can learn a lot by watching your network traffic and console logs that can help you identify where the problem is happening as well.
