RanMath causing Elemntor editor to slow down and 5 seconds entry lag

Hello @hirschferkel,

Thank you for contacting Rank Math support.

Please get in touch with your host and ask them to set at least the following PHP values:

PHP Memory Limit: 512M

Max input time: 150

PHP time limit: 120

PHP max input variables: 1000

This should resolve the issue. Let us know if it doesn’t. We are here to assist.

So my PHP values are:

• memory_limit: 512M
• max_execution_time: 180
• max_input_time: 60
• max_input_vars: 4000

So I do not see any PHP “time limit”, but that should not be the root cause, right?

Hello @hirschferkel,

Please increase the Max Input Time and see if that resolves the issue. If the issue persists, please check the browser’s console when editing the page and let us know if you see any errors there.

Looking forward to helping you.

Max Input Time cannot be increased. One Minute should be o.k. anyway, shouldn’t it?

There is no error in browser console.

Hello @hirschferkel,

Please share a screenshot of the SEO section where we could see the focus keywords and the snippet data for that page where you are seeing this behavior.

Looking forward to hearing back from you.

So waiting for some minutes will make the page work like expected. So something time consuming in RankMath seems to be calculating in the back again and again. Adding Elements, will cause the same loop again. Here is the screenshot:

@moderator: How may post do I have to send until you will release this account again?

Hello @hirschferkel,

Checking the SEO section, we don’t see any issues there that may cause the slowdown.

Can you please record a screencast again reproducing the issue while the Network tab of your browser console is open so we can see what processes are causing the slowdown?

Here’s an example screenshot of the Network tab for your reference: https://i.rankmath.com/i/9eD8Xx

We appreciate your time and patience while we are resolving this issue.

Here we go. First half shows page with less elements, where it works as expected. On the second page editing is nearly impossible because of the input lag: https://uploadnow.io/f/QhKx9Xh

Hello @hirschferkel,

Thank you for sharing the video screencast.

From the processes that are causing the slowdown, it doesn’t seem to directly point to Rank Math.

Please ensure that you are using the latest version of Rank Math plugin. If not yet, please do update them. You may refer to our changelog page here: https://rankmath.com/changelog/

Try also enabling troubleshooting mode and activate only Rank Math and Elementor and see if you are still experiencing the issue. Here’s a guide you can follow: https://rankmath.com/kb/check-plugin-conflicts/

If the issue is fixed when activating only Rank Math and Elementor, then another plugin or your currently active theme is contributing to the issue.

If that doesn’t help pinpoint the culprit please open a ticket in our forums so we can evaluate this further. To open a ticket you can follow the procedure here: https://rankmath.com/kb/getting-support/

Looking forward to helping you.

Maybe you forgot some statements before. It pinpoints directly to RankMath: Deactivating RankMath will instantly make editing the site work like expected.

Activating RankMath will make it instantly impossible to edit it.

The edit lag starts exactly at the very point RankMath has evaluated the site. As long as all keywords are colored red, the site works quite well. At the very moment the keywords turn green and the ranking counter is set from 0 to the evaluated number, the editing is buggy.

I set up a second site, where all other plugins are disabled: https://viswits.com/

With absolutely same results.

Hello @hirschferkel,

Please check https://rankmath.com/kb/getting-support/ so we can help you further.

How did you resolve this?

I have installed Rank Math, and the Elementor Editor becomes unusable?

@nathanbradycolonelduck I switched back with a backup of my wordpress, deinstalled RankMath and installed it again and it worked out. It seems like somehow database of RankMath got corrupt somehow and was fixed with this procedure randomly.
