 * Hej!
 * I need some help to find out what causes Gutenberg performance issues. Sorry 
   for a long message.
 * The site was made with fresh install of WordPress 6. It was made on the temporary
   domain in order to keep original site working. And after it was finished — it
   was transferred to the original domain via 2-steps Duplicator plugin ([https://ru.wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/](https://ru.wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/)):
   all files were downloaded via FTP from the temporary domain to original and then
   database Duplicator package has been applied.
 * Everything went fine, no error messages.
 * But obviously, not everything went fine as it seems to me now.
 * _**Disclaimer**: First of all, I entered troubleshooting mode for Site Health
   section — and that didn’t work, unfortunately. Second, I tried to re-install 
   WordPress 6 — guess what? Nothing. I tried different computers and browsers (
   Safari, Opera, Vivaldy — MacOS and Opera on Windows)._
 * So, the only way I have now is to ask for support here.
 * First issue I’ve noticed was that Page options in the options panel did not show
   correctly. It takes some time up to 30(!) seconds to show me Featured image option
   section!

 * As I said, I tried troubleshooting mode, but the result is the same. Unfortunately.

 * The same issue affect Add new block section, where it also takes time to show
   Patterns and Reusable
    [https://snipboard.io/NojdvD.jpg](https://snipboard.io/NojdvD.jpg)
 * Second issue was that we found that some blocks on the page in the edit mode 
   are corrupted and needs a repair:
    [https://snipboard.io/RadQMn.jpg](https://snipboard.io/RadQMn.jpg)
 * That mainly refers to the (1) all Buttons block (included in Gutenberg) and (
   2) Tiled Gallery (included in Jetpack). If I hit Attempt Block Recovery button—
   it will “recover” the block. But if I save page, exit and then will attempt to
   edit it again — I will get Attempt Block Recovery message once again.
 * And third issue is that in Edit mode I’m almost lost possibility to edit Query
   Loop block! I need either need a lot (1-2 minutes) of time or get nothing, reload
   the page and wait once again.

 * In troubleshooting mode the result is the same
    [https://snipboard.io/SQgLiI.jpg](https://snipboard.io/SQgLiI.jpg)
 * But as it can be seen from a site visitor — site looks just “normal”. Even those
   blocks that Gutenberg shows me as “corrupted”.
 * I know there can be millions of different things that may case everything you
   can imagine… but maybe at least some ideas what I can do in this situation and
   fix this? Thanks in advance!

 * Well, I had some reusables — so I deleted all of them — nothing fixed.
 * I found a video [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajwwG7LllsI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajwwG7LllsI)—
   it is not about 100% the same problem, but feels close. Think I should try.

 * Didn’t help. Rolled back all files to what we had before.

 * Additional information for Gutenberg
 * Here’s a console for edit page with Gutenberg:

 * Dear [@zoonini](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zoonini/), it looks like 
   a Gutenberg issue after all that tests 🙁

 * Hey there, is this regarding the same site you posted about [in this other thread](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/editing-with-gutenberg-brings-the-site-down/),
   and are you still having issues?
 * Assuming the two threads are about the same site, in your [screenshots on the other thread](https://snipboard.io/V2H1qm.jpg)(
   currently marked as resolved) I noticed a lot of 500 errors, which are internal
   server errors.
 * Could you ask your web host to see your server logs? Perhaps they might provide
   some clues as to why the server is returning a 500 at times.
 * p.s. Forum volunteers typically focus on threads with **no replies**, so the 
   more replies you added to your threads, the less likely your question was to 
   be noticed by a helper and answered – just something to keep in mind for the 
   future. 🙂

 * Yes, all the same )
 * There were 500/503 errors, right. Hoster said that because my site is out of 
   limits. As for the moment, I was driven to pay extra for +1 core (2 total) and
   +1G RAM (2 total) +280 CPU secs (400 total) to make the site works well. That
   solved the issue for this particular hoster, but… Is that the minimum requirements
   for Gutenberg to work well? I don’t believe in that personally. I’ve been using
   WordPress for years (and since 2015 with this particular hosting environment)—
   and this is the first time I see such behaviour, even I’ve built everything from
   the scratch, including wiping hosting environment.
 * Maybe the migration was the issue — I don’t know, but I did it twice to be sure
   there were no erorrs. And technical support of the migration plugin confirmed
   that everything was good. Anyhow, I do not have additional resources to start
   from scratch once again.
 * I can leave this thread either opened or closed — not sure will somebody decide
   to dig in this, please advise?

 * Heya [@goutm](https://wordpress.org/support/users/goutm/) – I took a look in 
   the Gutenberg GitHub repository, where bug reports and enhancement requests are
   tracked, to see if I could find anything about other reports of 500 internal 
   server errors.
 * I found this ticket referring to 500 internal server errors being triggered by
   large galleries with lots of images:
 * [https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/41825](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/41825)
 * I’d suggest having a look at the ticket to see if it might be related to your
   issue.
