    Yoast SEO 3.0.7 is causing huge typing lag when editing large pages with Divi Builder. (I am confident this applies to other builder plugins or even just long pages with no builder plugin in use). Text can take many seconds to appear in the TinyMCE editor after the keystrokes have been made. Cpu use is evident with every keystroke.

    Deactivating Yoast SEO solves the problem, so pretty confident this is an issue with Yoast SEO.

    Cpu profiling with chrome dev tools points to YoastShortcodePlugin.getUnparsedShortcodes which calls YoastShortcodePlugin.loadShortcodes in wp-seo-shortcode-plugin-305.js as the problem.

    This code appears to be bound to both keydown and change events in YoastShortcodePlugin.prototype.bindElementEvents. So far commenting out the keydown binding does not remove this load/lag. I will try commenting out the change event as well.

    This is a major issue with Yoast SEO for me. I won’t be able to continue to use the plugin if we can’t get this fixed.

    Any ideas on how to fix this? Knowing when this behaviour was introduced might also be useful.
