Browser freezes when I go into editing a block (Apperences -> Elements)

Hi,
I've got a fairly large sites with around 80 000 posts.
Haven't had any problem editing my blocks earlier but now the browser are freezing every time I try editing any of my blocks.
I've tried editing in Chrome, Chrome incognito mode and Edge. It freezes every time.
When I go into editing I can see everything and scroll for like 2-3 seconds and then the whole tab freezes.
Any idea on what could be the problem?
Hi Mats,
To clarify, does it freeze right when you edit? Or, only when you try to set up the Display rule location?
Also, when you create a new Element, do you experience the same issue?
Hi Fernando,
It freezes when I click into to the editing mode and freeze before I have the time to do anything.
There seems to be no issue creating a new block.
Hi there,
can you Right Click > Inspect the browser to open the developers tools, and view the Console Tab.
Then try editing a block. Do any errors appear in the Console.
Hi,
Here's the console log.
Nothing out of the ordinary I think.
companion-bubble error seems to be happening on every page when I'm browsing under /wp-admin/.
If I don't close the tab for a couple of minutes it looks like it's working.
So if you edit an Element, and wait for a minute or two, are you then able to edit ?
Yes, exaclty. And there is no problem with freezing when I click update after that I've made some changes.
I'll just have to wait for it to load, probably something to do with my custom shortcodes or that I have lots of posts.
Might be work asking the host to do some debugging, see if there is any slow queries running or maybe the database might need a cleanup.
