Confluence Editor has been lagging. How can I fix this?

Question

Every click within a new Confluence Editor takes 5-15 seconds for any action to happen. I have been experiencing this issue on different devices.

Editing large pages in Confluence can be challenging, especially when they contain many elements like tables, text sections, images, and JQL queries.
It's normal for performance to lag during editing, as even small changes can trigger a complete re-rendering of the page structure.
To improve responsiveness, I recommend splitting the content into several smaller pages. This reduces load time, minimizes lag, and makes collaboration more efficient. You can still link the pages together for easy navigation, add them under one parent page.

Switching to mobile data helps for small-sized pages. Editing big pages is still a problem.

Hi, @Anastasia Simonovich

I don't see any incidents reported on the Atlassian status page, so the issue is likely not on their end.
The problem might be with your internet connection. Have you tried switching to a different network? For example, switch from Wi-Fi to mobile data or vice versa.
If you're using a VPN, that could also interfere with the connection — try disabling it temporarily to see if that resolves the issue.
