Site freezes up Won't Save/Publish

@russell5607 It is not from timing out.  It happens while I am actively working on the page.  And I save my work frequently.

@elyzabethv Thank you - today it seems to be working smoother and did not freeze up on me. I also did not get any error messages.  It still seems a little laggy but definitely an improvement.  Hopefully, it holds!   Is there a way for me to clear my site cache or can only Homestead do that?

@office_manager F5 to refresh your browser. 

@russell5607 I have tried refreshing my browser multiple times.  Not only does it not help but it then causes everything to freeze up.  I believe @elyzabethv has answered my question above.

That is something we need to do on our end. If you ever experience those issues again, please just let me know and I'll be happy to help. 

@elyzabethv  -- it is taking me 45 minutes to upload a single image into a photo gallery.  this site has always been terribly slow for editing and publishing pages, but all of a sudden it is WAY worse now.  and forget about publishing a page - that almost never works!  i have a few hundred more images that i need to upload, but it will take FOREVER.  is there a better website builder for what i am trying to do (uploading many images and frequently re-publishing pages?  HELP!  (I am using Website Builder)

here's what I found:

@mike3916 

So...

You have storage space available.

You may want to resize your image before attempting to upload it to your website. Aps available are paint or lunapic. I use lunapic which also has lots of enhancement features. Go to lunapic.com, upload and resize your image to optimize upload speed.

@russell5607

thanks for the suggestions, but that's not the problem (never has been before - it always let me resize them as part of the upload) - something is just wrong. 

I think elyzabethv has the answer about having to clear a cache - "something we need to do on our end" - I will call them tomorrow, too bad they don't have weekend support.

If you are using Internet Explorer, Edge, Google Chrome, or Mozilla Firefox you can quickly clear cache with a keyboard shortcut. While in your browser, press Ctrl + Shift + Delete simultaneously on the keyboard to open the appropriate window.

IMPORTANT: Be sure and close/quit the browser and restart it after clearing the cache and cookies.
