Issues With Slow Gutenberg Editor Loading on Content-Heavy Posts

  • Unknown's avatar

    I’m managing the Modern Food Catering website on WordPress, and I’ve noticed that the Gutenberg editor becomes very slow or sometimes freezes when editing long posts with multiple images.

    Is this a common issue? Are there any recommended fixes—like specific plugins, caching settings, or editor optimizations—that can help improve performance when working with heavier content?

    Any guidance would be appreciated.

  • Hello there,

    Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

    I’ve reviewed your site: https://modernfoodcatering.com/ and noticed that it’s not hosted on WordPress.com. You can verify this here: https://wordpress.com/site-profiler/https://modernfoodcatering.com/ to find the current hosting details.

    I understand this can be a bit confusing, so let me clarify.

    WordPress.com is a hosted version of WordPress where we handle the security, updates, and maintenance of your site, allowing you to focus on your content. I’m a Happiness Engineer here at WordPress.com, here to help with any questions.

    On the other hand, WordPress.org sites are self-hosted, meaning you need to purchase hosting from a provider (such as Hostinger, where your site is currently hosted). With self-hosting, you’re responsible for managing your site’s security, updates, and maintenance.

    You can learn more about the difference here: https://wordpress.com/support/com-vs-org/.

    In this case, I recommend reaching out to your current hosting provider for assistance, as they’ll be able to help you with any issues.

    If you’re interested in hosting your site with WordPress.com, which offers top-notch WordPress hosting: https://wordpress.com/hosting, we can help you migrate your site over to our servers and provide full support whenever you need it.

    We also offer migration services at no cost. Please feel free to reach out if you need help with this.

    We look forward to hearing from you!
