Dreamweaver unspeakable slow and laggy when typing / editing.

I've search the forum and found lots of posts about this problem but they are all from 3-7 years ago. One of the recent updates from Adobe has resulted in Dreamweaver becoming unusably slow.

Example, I click click on a word in HTML view and ... nothing happens for up to 10 seconds. Just nothing. Then, finally, the cursor jumps to where I clicked. 

 

I double-click on a word and ... nothing happens for 5 to 10 to 15 seconds and then, finally, the word highlights. 

 

I roll the scroll wheel and ... nothing happens for 5+ seconds before, finally, the text scrolls.

 

I am working on my local drive. The projects are very small - an HTML file, an image, and the .JS file created by Adobe Animate.

 

Any tips or work-arounds greatly appreciated!

    If I switch to CODE view, or to DESIGN view, the lag disappears. 


    Right.  Live view takes more rescources because it has to refresh your screen after each edit.   For best results, edit in CODE or DESIGN.  Save often and check your work in real browsers. Right click on open document tab, select Open in Browser.

    "Slower than a sloth" can be caused by low RAM, code errors and working in Live view.  Switch from Live to Design view with Ctrl + Shift + F11.  It makes a big difference when editing. 

     

    Are you saving documents often with Ctrl + S?

    Have you restarted your computer lately?

     

    Also validate code and fix all reported errors.  Code errors can lead to latency issues. 

     

    Hope that helps.

    I'll try switching out of Live View. I doubt that any of the other suggestions will be of help.

    This problem has persisted for many weeks so, yes, I've restarted the computer.

    I am generally only in DW for about 3-5 minutes so I don't save "often." Usually I jump in, add a line of code, save, and exit.

    The code comes directly out of Adobe Animate and doesn't seem to have an syntax errors.

    I recently installed DW 21.3 on a new Mac. Exact same issue. I use it only for straight-forward html/css coding in source view and have a local site folder. Can't type more than a few lines without DW locking up. Quitting and restarting helps briefly, but this has to be done constantly. It's a really counterproductive app!! 😞


    @vtg74,

    Switch to Design View on Document Toolbar (Ctrl + Shift + F11).

    Design is quicker than Live, even when editing Code.
