Okay, I've been using Dreamweaver since it was Macromedia, but it's NEVER been that slow.
I am using the most up to date version (even though I did try to downgrade to 2015 because according to some topics that solved people's issues).
I've tried everything and it just makes no sense. It's a text editor, but each time I place my cursor inside Dreamweaver it takes about 2 minutes to think about it first. Then it works for 5 seconds, then it still deliberates for another minute and then it allows me to continue typing. I can keep typing just fine, but the second I switch focus to the browser and come back, it's the same thing all over again.
I've tried turning off everything I could:
I've been trying to disable git too, but it just doesn't go away. I want to use git, but I don't plan to use git with dreamweaver, why am I being forced to see all the highlights? And if that's what slowing everything down, I sort of wanna punch the code in the face.
Anywho, if you had similar problem and solved, please, PLEASE tell me what to do. This is an editor in 2018. My notepad on Windows 3.11 never had as much lag. Could Windows version be an issue? I'm using Windows 7. I'm a paying member for multiple CC subscription (at home and at work). Both computers have the same (or similar) issues.
Please help.

Okay, if anyone else is having issues with Dreamweaver hiccups, all you have to do is switch mode from "Developer" to "Standard".
I asked the person assisting me with this why this is the case, but I couldn't get a clear answer, in either case that had solved the issue for me, so if anyone else is dealing with it, give that a shot.
Honestly, if they're aware that "Developer" mode causes issues, I'm not sure why they even have it, haha, but oh well, if things are working much faster now, I'm quite
...Hi Folks,

Thanks for all of the effort on this thread!
My DW 2019 was running like molasses, especially with a browser window open!
What worked for me was to turn off Design Notes within the site.
Either open Site Management at the bottom of the drop-down and select the site or double click the site name > Advanced Settings > Design Notes > Uncheck "Maintain Design Notes" if checked.
Hope that helps!

I've been suffering with this for quite a while. Thanks for the solution!
If this helps, in my case I had it in standard mode already but I clicked on "reset standard" and it fixed it.
Thanks again!

Having properties enabled slowed down my page edits etc.
Removed and speed increased significantly.

Thanks for this. It may go without saying, but I thought it worth mentioning that I was using customized settings based on Developer mode, then saved under my own custom profile. If you've done this, it may not be immediately obvious that switching to Standard mode will solve your problem. It did solve mine.
Small rant: I have used Adobe products for many years. I used InDesign when it was Pagemaker, Photoshop 4 and above, Dreamweaver CS3, Acrobat 7 Professional, etc. I appreciate the difficulty of making these programs "talk" to each other, and most of the improvements Adobe has made through the years are great. But I REALLY wish Adobe assigned more developers to address existing problems than to develop new features. More is not always better, and reliability matters.

Hello,
I solved this by unchecking the option "Automatically Sync Remote Files" under the menu item View > Live View Options.
Hope that is helpful to others as well.
