I have a website cochf.coop which used visual composer to build its pages. Just after the most recent wp update I started having connection issues every time I edited a page using visual composer. I get this error message – Connection lost. Saving has been disabled until you’re reconnected. We’re backing up this post in your browser, just in case. The site is now extremely slow even though we have upgraded the hosting plan at GoDaddy.
This is GoDaddy’s explanation:

Hello,
After bypassing the firewall, I was able to replicate the slowness issues and timing out issues that you have described. Since this is a member area, the firewall will not cache any pages when editing with visual composer so it is pulling content down directly from the host.
You can also perform the same test by placing the following in your hosts file:
##
132.148.39.131 cochf.coop https://www.cochf.coop

In talking to them they seem to feel the problem is with the plugin and asked to to contact the developer. I can’t get support as I use the free version of the plugin which comes with most premium themes so I am asking here. I have over 40 websites I have built with visual composer and hosted with GoDaddy. I am trying to determine if this really is a visual composer problem or some other problem tied to GoDaddy.
Right now its impossible for me to edit my pages on cochf.coop because the moment I start clicking to edit an element with visual composer I keep getting loss of connection, then it comes back, then it goes again and the entire site is extremely slow.
