Slow loading of editor

Hi there!

Thanks for reaching out. It seems the video you shared has been removed.

Could you check if there are any errors in the browser console? I am also curious to know are you developing any blocks or using the default blocks?

Let me know so I can assist further!

Hi,

sorry, here is the video again:

There are no errors in the browser console, and I am using the default blocks. This is the default installation of WordPress without any changes.

Here is the image of Network tab in Chrome DevTools, it shows how long it takes to load everything.

Hi,

Did you maybe check it out? the problem is still happening.

Thanks,

Hi @grubisa13

I’m sorry to hear that you’re still experiencing issues with a slow editor. I set up a demo website to test the editor’s performance, and it appeared to work efficiently and quickly.

Here you can check the video: https://share.cleanshot.com/2PcNqLKt

Since the issue persists, here are a few things I’d like you to try:

1. Deactivate Gutenberg Plugin: If you’re using the Gutenberg plugin, try disabling it and using the built-in WordPress editor to see if that improves performance.
2. Browser Performance: Ensure your browser is up to date and not overloaded with extensions that could slow down performance. Try using incognito mode or a clean browser install to see if there are any extensions causing the issue.
3. Hosting Provider: Ensure your hosting provider offers sufficient resources needed for smooth WordPress performance. You can test the same setup on different servers and compare the performance to determine whether your hosting is causing the slowdown.

Please let me know if you have any other questions!

Hi @devmuhib ,
I tried on another hosting and it works fast.

I sent a support ticket to Krystal hosting, this is their reply:

“Many thanks for getting back.
That will be something you need to discuss with your developer I am afraid – as noted by my colleague, when using the classic editor that loads instantly.
As such, the issue isn’t with loading the files themselves, rather how Gutenberg is serving those files.
Please do try discussing that with the Gutenberg devs, as they may have further insight as to why that isn’t performing as expected compared to the classic editor.”

Do you know or can you check why is Gutenberg loading slow on this hosting? What is the reason it loads slowly only on this hosting?

So I can ask my hosting in more detail how to fix it?

Thank you,
Zoran

Hi Zoran,

At least we now have clarity on where the problem is occurring. Since the issue is related to hosting, it is the hosting provider’s responsibility to resolve it.

As it appears to be related to their server configuration. They should address it by adjusting the server settings. Specifically, ask the hosting provider about the server’s PHP version, memory limit, and any caching mechanisms in place.

Gutenberg is built on JavaScript, it relies on technologies such as Node.js and React.js to function effectively. Confirm with the hosting provider whether their server environment fully supports these technologies.

Have a nice day!
