Code-Live Super Lag

Report · Aug 22, 2017

I am currently working with a HTML/JS template that is setup for Bootstrap. (I am not using it for bootstrap). I typically do my changes and such in Code-Live view. Every once in a while (and especially today) Dreamweaver is running extremely slow! When I make table size percentage changes in the CSS I get the wheel of death for a good 10 plus seconds. I also have lag when switching from style.css to my source code.

I am currently running Dreamweaver CC 2017.5 Release 9878 Build

Is it lagging on all pages/all sites, or just certain ones?

Some things to look for in the code of lagging pages, if only certain ones cause issues...

1. Protocol relative links in the head section (links starting with // vs http). Changing them to http during development will fix it if that's the issue.
2. Certain javascript code, especially remotely hosted ones. Try commenting out  all of the scripts and see if the page lags. If it doesn't un-comment the scripts one by one. If you find a script causing an issue, making and linking to a local copy will usually get rid of the lag. Relink to the external one before uploading.
3. Using lots of the @import rule in your css can cause lagging. Linking using the <link> tag in the <head> section instead seems to fix that.
