Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention. I’m sorry for any inconvenience this issue may have caused you.
Sure, let us know the username or email for your Rank Math PRO so we can verify it in our system as well.
Regarding the issue, for initial troubleshooting, please check your site’s configuration if there are some PHP values that are too low and that you should increase.
You can get in touch with your web host and ask them to set the following values (if not yet):
PHP Memory Limit: 512M
Max input time: 150
PHP time limit: 120
PHP max input variables: 1000
Looking forward to helping you.
Thank you.

I use Strato as website host and these are the PHP settings, you can also enable “boost” which they claim speeds up PHP scripts up to 100%, but even with the PHP boost on it keeps being slow to edit with rankmath on.
Here is link to screenshot of strato website: https://i.gyazo.com/0e8f81c2c4412631e570afc0f09bd6dd.png
Hello,
In this case, we might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WordPress & FTP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.
Please do take a complete backup of your website before sharing the information with us.
It is completely secure and only our support staff has access to that section. If you want, you can use the below plugin to generate a temporary login URL to your website and share that with us instead:

Thank you.
I have rankmath disabled as i am changing the homepage
Hello,
When I tried to open the homepage in Elementor and the editor opened in approximately 5seconds with Rank Math enabled. Did you happen to resolve the issue? Or would you please let us know the steps you followed where you see the lag?
Looking forward to helping you.
Thank you

Meanwhile, please don’t hesitate to contact us anytime if you have other questions to assist you further.

Hello,
The issue with the slowdown is caused by the number of focus keywords you have on the page. When you have so many keywords, each time you put a keystroke in place our Analyzer tries to read the content and update the results of all keywords.
The more keywords you have the slower this will be because we need to run the tests for all of them.
Our recommendation is that people keep between 3 to 5 focus keywords because it’s almost impossible to cater to much more than that and it would only be slowing down the website.
More focus keywords don’t necessarily mean greater improvement on the page, as Google doesn’t even care what focus keywords you have on the page and this metric is only used for internal optimization and to run our Content Analysis API.
Hope this helps clarify the situation.
Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any other questions.
Hello,
I have reduced the amount of focused keywords to 6 and it is still running as slow. Next to that, the page “E-chopper huren” also has 12 keywords and it is not slow.
I believe this is not the issue.
Hello,
The page you mentioned is not getting any slowdowns because the content on the page is much easier to parse from our Content Analysis API than the content of the homepage, so having more keywords there doesn’t slow down the functions that run to test the content and they run much faster.
This all depends on the number of keywords and complexity of the content and how much time it takes to test all keywords with the content of the page.
If you have a lot of custom widgets and moving parts such as carrousels it’s harder for the API to run and can cause these issues.
Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any other questions.
