WPBakery Page Builder editor laggs my website

    So I don’t know where to address this question but I’ll try here to see what kind of responses I get.

    So I recently encountered a problem with the backend editor of WPBakeryPB where I created a long article with lots of images and text. On the front page (front end) the page loads fine but when I go to edit the article my whole website just locks up. I look on my cPanel to see what is going on, the I/O Usage (1MB/s) maxes out for like 30s-1min and the whole website just becomes unreachable from both back and front end.

    I don’t know what to do in this scenario. I have the economy Linux plan from Godaddy. I want to make more articles like that in the future but not if editing them takes the whole website down.

    I have a few choices at my disposal.
    I can update de website plan to something else bigger, I can change the host altogether.
    I can stop using the backend editor altogether (use the Gutenberg one) on long articles.

    Keep in mind that the website is still small in the sense that I don’t have that much traffic yet. Investing more money to solve the problem might not actually solve it.

    I can’t change the plugin to something else because the theme uses the plugin as a default. When I purchased the theme I did not know it used the WPBakery plugin and I worked with it in the past it’s just that I never encountered a problem like this before.

    So I’m in a pickle here, help would be much appreciated.

    Hi, @awarenessinc93
    Your site is not hosted here, on WordPress.com, but using the open source WordPress.org software at another hosting provider.

    For general help with the version of WordPress you’re using, you can ask the WordPress.org community over at https://wordpress.org/support/forums/

    The other option: you can ask the support of your hosting,

    You can read more about the differences between WordPress.org software and WordPress.com here:

    Cheers.
