Browser: Chrome 135.0.7049.85
OS: Windows
If anyone is experiencing crazy lag in the builder, or styling not being applied on initial page load - it’s not a Bricks problem. It seems that Chromium browser users are facing big issues with sites being laggy in general, see here, and here, and other strange loading issues for the past couple of months - although mine only started around a week ago after a Chrome update.
I tried to disable extensions as others recommended, but it only helped a little.
Bricks has become almost unusable in Chrome, for me at least, when it comes to more complex sites, making the builder freeze and become extremely laggy. Even on some smaller site, you can feel to difference.
Even when loading pages on the frontend, the styling won’t be applied for a split second while the DOM is still loading.
I switched to Firefox for testing, and there’s ZERO issues inside the builder, or on the frontend.
