    For several months now, I experience really annoying typing lag anytime I’m writing a new post. It’s a small, but very noticeable amount of maybe 100 milliseconds delay in between keystrokes. If I disable the Jetpack Blocks feature (Jetpack –> Writing –> Jetpack Blocks), the lag immediately stops happening. The problem is that use features contained in that feature and really can’t leave it disabled. I know I’m not the only one to have this problem because I found this thread describing exactly the same thing as what I’m experiencing. That thread is the only reason I know that the Jetpack Blocks feature is the problem. Has anyone else experienced this? Is this a known issue? Are there any suggestions to resolving it or definitively identifying a more specific cause?

    Hi @twb001 , thanks for sharing the other thread. There’s a known lag issue with Gutenberg with Chrome on MacOS, https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/22822, but I understand you ran into a similar situation involving the Jetpack Blocks.

    Could you try the follow troubleshooting steps:

    • If the site hast the Gutenberg plugin active, disable it. The plugin is only for you to try out Beta features, so it’s not required.
    • See if the issue happens with all other plugins turned off. You can test without impacting the live site by using Health Check.

    If the issue still happens, could you tell us which browser you tried it on? Is it happening regardless of the length of the content?

    Sorry for the late reply.

    • My site does not have the Gutenberg plugin installed.
    • I will test the site with all plugins as you described later this weekend.
    • I’ll try using a browser other than Chrome to see what results I get. I am using a Mac.
    • I only notice the lag on posts that have reached more than about 500 words.

    I can confirm that the problem is not limited to Chrome. Same thing happens when I use Safari. Laggy behavior started right around the time my recent post hit 1,300 words. Further troubleshooting with the Health Check plugin will take some time, but I will report back.
