Question

GrapesJS version

  • I confirm to use the latest version of GrapesJS

Firefox

Reproducible demo link

Describe the bug

Description The editor has very slow loading times.

On complex pages (e.g. homepage with many elements and plugins such as carousels), it can take up to 1 minute 20 seconds to fully load.

But even on pages with only a few elements, the loading is still noticeably slow (several seconds).

This performance issue makes the editor difficult to use in production.

Steps to reproduce

  • Open the GrapesJS editor with a page that has multiple components and plugins (e.g. carousels).

  • Wait for the editor to load.

  • Test also with a simple page with only a few blocks.

Expected result

The editor should load within a few seconds, regardless of the page complexity.

Actual result

With complex pages: loading takes up to 1m20s.

With simple pages: still slow, not immediate.

Environment

GrapesJS version: 0.22.7

Backend: Symfony 7.3

Frontend: Angular 19

Browser: [e.g. Chrome 127, Firefox latest]

OS: [MacOS / Windows / Linux]

Thanks @MisterKeyboard for providing the JSON.

Your project contains 10K style rules, which is a lot, but still, I'd not expect the load to be impacted that much. @mohamedsalem401 I think we need to verify if data source related changes (eg. StyleableModel.set) are not impacting too much there 🤔
