I did not see any server error logs corresponding with the timestamps-not sure if there would be any-but confirmed none. I can’t replicate the behavior as it has appeard only 7 times out of hundreds of posts being edited/created. Must be as you suggested-that I was temporary removed from the whitelist. Not sure what happened exactly-but I will watch and follow-up if it happens again and I can pinpoint the behavior more. * Firewall Enabled Mode NinjaFirewall is running in Full WAF mode.Version 4.8.3 ~ Security rules: 2026-03-02.1PHP SAPI FPM-FCGI ~ 8.3.30Admin user xxxxxxx You are whitelisted by the firewall.Help & configuration Securing WordPress with NinjaFirewall (WP Edition) * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[NinjaFirewall (WP Edition) - Advanced Security Plugin and Firewall] Statistics and Log](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/statistics-and-log/) * Thread Starter [roaming1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/roaming1/) * (@roaming1) * [12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/statistics-and-log/#post-18552145) * Seems to be counting properly.

Seems like having the content analysis metabox load at the bottom of the page was causing the problem. * This is strange because when I disable the SEO metabox in the settings-the content analysis metabox still appears at the bottom of the post page. I am not sure, but shouldn’t disabling this module STOP this from happening? - This reply was modified 1 year ago by [roaming1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/roaming1/). - This reply was modified 1 year ago by [roaming1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/roaming1/). - This reply was modified 1 year ago by [roaming1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/roaming1/). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[SEOPress - AI SEO Plugin & On-site SEO] Gutenberg Post Editor Non-Responsive](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/gutenberg-post-editor-non-responsive/) * Thread Starter [roaming1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/roaming1/) * (@roaming1) * [1 year ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/gutenberg-post-editor-non-responsive/page/2/#post-18509040) * I had tested turning off all of the modules before with no difference.

There were no issues. Added 5 images – no issues. Doubled the text – no issues. When I got between 1,500 words and added a few generic tables / lists and headings. I started to notice a slow down. Added FAQ legacy block – no major change-but the images take a long time to load in the FAQ block. When I got over 2,000 words and added a few links, bold text and italic text-there was more of a slow down. Over 2500 words-with a featured image, horizontal lines etc. the page really started to slow down. These are all generic wordpress blocks. The more content/styling on the page-the less responsive it becomes. * **This only occurs when SEOpress 8.8.X is active**. When I deactivate the plugin- the page is fast, very responsive and highly editable. **When I revert to SEOpress 8.7** (while there is a very SLIGHT delay in loading-which can be expected in a high content page) the page remains responsive and does not freeze/hang-and I can edit as normal. * At this point, I have a few choices: 1. Use SEOpress 8.7 2. Disable SEO press when editing longer, more complex posts. 3. Edit using Firefox as this behavior ONLY occurs in Chromiom based browsers ( extensions disabled) when using the latest SEO Press version 8.8.x. 4. Use another SEO plugin – which really is a last option because IMO _this is the best SEO plugin out there._ * I appreciate your efforts. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[SEOPress - AI SEO Plugin & On-site SEO] Gutenberg Post Editor Non-Responsive](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/gutenberg-post-editor-non-responsive/) * Thread Starter [roaming1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/roaming1/) * (@roaming1) * [1 year ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/gutenberg-post-editor-non-responsive/#post-18507262) * Investigating further, this behavior occurs on Chromium based browsers. I tried Chrome, Brave and Edge and all reacted the same with SEO press active. However, using Firefox-this behavior did NOT occur… * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[SEOPress - AI SEO Plugin & On-site SEO] Gutenberg Post Editor Non-Responsive](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/gutenberg-post-editor-non-responsive/) * Thread Starter [roaming1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/roaming1/) * (@roaming1) * [1 year ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/gutenberg-post-editor-non-responsive/#post-18507199) * I recreated the scenario on a local site. I am using the Astra** parent** theme version 4.11.2. & Astra Pro Version 4.11.1 by Brainstorm Force. The first video is editing a post with SEO press deactivated. The second is editing the same post with SEO press active. I cut the second one short because the page will start throwing “unresponsive” errors. No other plugins are active. 1.

This behavior does NOT occur in version 8.7. In version 8.7, the featured image preview and SEOpress FAQ box images take 30 seconds or longer to load. When deactivated, the featured image will display immediately. This is not a huge issue as the page can be edited while the images are loading. Just wanted to pass along.
