WAIT: EXTREME lag when updating from 1.x.x to 2.0.1

Browser: Chrome 138.0.7204.169
OS: macOS
URL: Link to a page that illustrates this issue – Just try to scroll down…

Hello!

Due to the security vulnerability, today I’ve seen myself forced to upgrade all old websites from 1.x.x to 2.0.1

I am in the middle of the process, but, as of now, in 2 out of 8 websites I’ve updated I am experiencing extreme lag, both in the builder and in the frontend.

  1. One of the sites has a Bricksforge long Pro Form. If I deactivate the whole form section, both on the front-end and the builder, the lag disappears.

  2. The other website, the section that “produces” the lag is a looped testimonial card, from a custom Metabox CPT. Hiding the section both from front-end and the builder makes the lag disappear.

In both cases, really weird scenarios that I am not able to link to a root cause. But in both cases it’s impossible to navigate on the page or use Bricks builder at all.

Any ideas?

Just FYI:

  • I’ve deactivated Bricksforge animations or even Advanced Themer, but they have nothing to do with it.
  • Both laggy sites are in different hosting environtments.

Thanks!

Hi Isaura,
Thanks so much for your report!

I just checked the website (and asked @Matej to check as well), but we can’t see any lag at all (even not in low battery mode): CleanShot 2025-07-29 at 10.49.27 · CleanShot Cloud

Please send temporary login credentials to one of the websites and a link to this thread to help@bricksbuilder.io using the email address you used during the purchase.

Ps: In addition to 2.0.1 there is also 1.12.5 as a manual download in your account - then the version jump is not quite so big.

Best regards,

Hi Timmse,

You are right! There’s 0 lag on your recording :hushed:

We’ve tested it in two different machines (both Mac and both with Chrome). Could it be related to Chromium?

Here’s a screen recording with what I see:

It’s just on the Contact page, in that case. And if I deactivate the whole section that causes lag (the one with the Bricksforge Pro Forms), it goes smoothly and becomes usable again! The other website I have the same exact issue has no Bricksforge Pro Forms on that page, in case you are wondering.

By the way, thanks for the heads-up about 1.12.5! I’ve just realised this like 30 mins ago. Now all the updates I am doing, for now, are to 1.12.5.

Thanks!

That’s intersting. I tested in Arc, which is using the latest chromium version as the current Chrome: no lag at all. Then I tested in Chrome, and I can see the lag (it’s the same chromium version).

Please send us the access data to the other website without “pro forms”.

Same issue!! i reported to Bricks Builder Support! in my case im using Firefox, not tested with Chrome. The lag is present in backend and the frontend after a while working in the builder. This behavior affects all browser tabs.

Im using AT & ACSS but deactivating dont solve the issue.

It happens in all of my sites with bricks 2.x , in versions 1.9.x it doesnt happen

Hello!

My issues have been resolved, just updating to Bricks 2.0.2

Just FYI :slight_smile:
