 * [@cpiechotta](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cpiechotta/) That would align
   with what I’ve experienced. It’s only recently, after updating, that this issue
   has occurred. 
   The site I have Essential Blocks on doesn’t have WooCommerce but
   is experiencing the exact same issues that you’re facing. After trying to save,
   it seems to spike the CPU & it seems to put in a load of requests, which my server
   blocks as spam attacks. For 5-10 minutes, I get blocked from accessing all sites
   on the hosting plan. I emailed the details above a few days ago and haven’t heard
   back yet.

 * Hey [@cookieyesteam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cookieyesteam/),
   Yep–
   you’ve nailed it. That was the issue, litespeed cache appeared to be conflicting
   with your Plugin. I disabled some of the JS and CSS elements and it’s now working
   perfectly.
 * Thanks for your support.
   Kind regards,Joe

 * [@sterndata](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sterndata/) Where can I find
   more information about this bug? I manage 20 or so sites, all of them using Astra
   and all of them having the same issue Nadinmano faces where I cannot do a ‘bulk’
   update of plugins, only able to update them manually.

 * I purchased the premium version of this plugin and designed a mega-menu with 
   Elementor.
 * The first user to load the page see’s a horrible version of the mega menu. Each
   section is vertically stacked and takes up about 75% of the screen height (when
   it should be contained in a menu-sized bar).
 * I thought it might be a conflict with Litespeed or Cloudflare and disabled both,
   but still the same issue. I then learnt that the plugin has its own cache feature
   and it appears this is causing this issue.
 * I’ve been completely unable to use the plugin on my client’s site because of 
   this issue above. I did attempt to speak to their support who’s only suggestion
   was “well the customer will just need to refresh the page to see it normally”.
   How this is their recommended solution for a paid product is beyond me.
 * They’ve said for months that disabling their cache is ‘coming soon’ but after
   3-months of waiting it’s getting rather tiresome.

 * Hi [@betydbr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/betydbr/),
 * I’m unfortunately creating the website locally and haven’t uploaded it to the
   domain yet.
 * I did suspect that it was going to be some form of javascript.
