    After hours of messing around, I’ve found that disabling Yoast entirely fixes this issue.
    Yoast is causing all admin editor pages (Like creating blog posts) to have immense, unbearable, unusable lag when typing text. I’ve tried on both Firefox & Chrome, this problem vanishes when I disable Yoast, I’ve tried disabling all features in Yoast settings, no difference.

    There is no JS errors in the web developer console from Yoast.

    This plugin has made using WordPress impossible from the lag you have caused when writing in text boxes.

    Your entire attention needs to focus on this bug.

  • Hi @godsdead,

    Sorry to hear that you’re seeing a performance problem with Yoast SEO.

    We have a few questions to help us troubleshoot:

    1. When you see the lag when you type, can you describe in more detail what happens? Do you see any page loading messages? Does this happen when you’re using a particular type of block?

    2. Are all your plugins and themes updated? If not, does updating solve the problem?

    3. Can you confirm that your version of WordPress and the server meets the plugin’s minimum requirements? You can often find these details by going to Tools > Site Health > Info in WordPress.

    4. Can you check your PHP error log for any error messages related to Yoast SEO. You can do this by enabling WordPress debugging or contact your web host.

    5. We understand that the error disappears when Yoast SEO is deactivated. Can you also follow our steps to check for conflicts? This means temporarily deactivating all plugins except for Yoast SEO and switching to a default WordPress theme like Twenty Twenty-One. Does this problem happen?
