    Hello,
    I am experiencing an issue with the Rank Math SEO plugin on my WordPress site. The plugin is heavily loading the post writing module, causing the page to freeze for 30 seconds or more. I have followed all the recommended steps to improve server settings and checked the configuration, but the problem persists.
    Here is the information about my server and settings:
    Server Configuration:
    • Server Architecture: Linux 5.10.0-23-amd64 x86_64
    • Web Server Software: nginx
    • PHP Version: 8.1.28 (Supports 64-bit values)
    • PHP SAPI: fpm-fcgi
    • PHP max input variables: 6144
    • PHP time limit: 1200
    • PHP memory limit: 512M
    • Max input time: 1200
    • Upload max filesize: 2047M
    • PHP post max size: 2047M
    • cURL Version: 8.7.1 OpenSSL/1.1.1w
    • SUHOSIN Extension Installed?: No
    • Imagick Available?: No
    • Pretty Permalinks Supported: Yes
    Database:
    • Extension: mysqli
    • Database Version: 10.6.15-MariaDB-log
    • Database Client Version: mysqlnd 8.1.28
    • Database User Name: 149934131
    • Database Host: 127.0.0.1
    • Database Name: 149934131
    • Table Prefix: wp_
    • Database Charset: latin1
    • Database Collation: latin1_swedish_ci
    • Max Packet Size: 104857600
    • Max Connections: 500
    To address the issue, I have also taken the following steps:
    1. Disabled all other plugins to rule out conflicts.
    2. Updated WordPress, all plugins, and the theme to the latest versions.
    3. Cleared all caches (browser, caching plugins, CDN).
    4. Checked the browser console for errors (no significant errors found).
    5. Optimized the database using the WP-Optimize plugin.
    6. Monitored server resources during the slowdown periods (no significant loads or processes consuming resources detected).
    Despite all these measures, the issue still persists. I kindly request your assistance in diagnosing and resolving this problem.
    Thank you in advance for your help!
    Best regards

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting support.

    Does this happen on any new post/page that you create even before adding any focus keyword? If this is happening on posts with focus keywords, please let us know how many focus keywords are on those posts.

    Also, did you try disabling the Content AI module and test the situation again to make sure that is not causing issues in the post editor screen?

    Looking forward to hearing back from you.

    Hello, I disabled all plugins altogether. This problem occurs when writing or editing any post. Before writing or editing posts, you have to disable the plugin completely and turn it back on after completion. I previously used the https://yoast.com plugin and had no such problems with it.

    Hello,

    Could you please check your website’s error log and see if there’s any error generated from Rank Math? Having an error log will help us determine what is causing the issue.

    You can trigger again the error so the log will be updated, and share the results here.

    If there’s no error message, please replicate the error again and check if there are any Javascript errors in your browser console upon editing your pages and share the error.

    You can upload screenshots using this tool and add the link here.

    Looking forward to helping you.
