WAIT: Query loops suddenly making builder unresponsive, can't figure out cause

Browser: Chrome 137.0.7151.120
OS: macOS
URL: https://sga-staging.cloudaccess.host/our-team/

The front-end renders fine, but I need to change the order of the query loop and I simply can not edit anything in the builder anymore.

I have a fairly simple page setup with 2 query loops- both of which pull in a custom post type (team members), each is filtered by a term for either staff or board members. Within each loop, each post displays an image, name, position and email address. Clicking on one loads a full bio in a popup, which is setup through a template. Each loop only has about 9 posts total.

This had been working completely fine until recently, and now I simply can not edit the page in the builder. It just becomes unresponsive. I’ve tried from multiple computers and the results are the same.

Steps already taken:

  • I disabled all other plugins except ACF, since that’s where the custom posts and fields are setup through.
  • I set the max output from query loops to only display 2 items
  • I disabled dynamic data from rendering on the canvas

Unfortunately none of the above steps helped at all.

Interestingly, there are no errors being logged on the server either. I can see that the memory and CPU usage spikes, but that’s it. Here’s some other info about the server this site is setup on:

PHP version: 8.0.30 (Supports 64bit values)
PHP SAPI: cgi-fcgi
PHP max input variables: 10000
PHP time limit: 660
PHP memory limit: 512M
Max input time: 60
Upload max filesize: 360M
PHP post max size: 380M

Quick video of the page becoming responsive. I have an older copy of the site on a different server, which I can still edit. The only difference is the team members have had photos assigned to their posts: Query Loops making page unresponsive | Loom

Query loop settings and builder structure:


Please let me know what other details I can provide.

I tried rebuilding the page again. Everything works fine with the first query loop. It even works when I duplicate it. But then once I change the terms to filter it by, the page again becomes unresponsive:

I’ve played around with multiple ways of attempting to rebuild this. And basically, as soon as I try to either include or exclude different terms between the 2 loops, the page becomes unresponsive and can no longer be edited.
