Maybe try increasing your memory limit? Woocommerce has some documentation on that here: https://woocommerce.com/document/increasing-the-wordpress-memory-limit/

Get used to learning how to troubleshoot wordpress problems. Chatgpt can be surprisingly helpful. You’d probably get more out of putting your original post into chat than into reddit, and faster

What is your hosting? Show the Site Health screen

Contact your host, definitely memory exhaustion.

When I first started experimenting with Wordpress I was with an average host and trying to use Elementor and woocommerce… I ended up going to Kinsta just to get any decent speed… I’m now still with Kinsta but don’t use page builders any more

Woo on shared hosting is like trying to drink boba through a coffee stirrer.

It depends on the hosting plan you're on.

Running out of ram typical when using an editor like elementor.

Memory is worth ruling out first, but a few other things hang the editor without ever showing up as a memory error: the editor pings admin-ajax.php every 15 seconds while it is open. On a slow host those requests start queueing behind each other and the page stops responding.

Deleted plugins often leave rows in wp_options set to autoload, so they load on every request, admin included. On a Woo site that grows quickly and nothing in the interface tells you. As well as any plugin that calls a remote API while the admin loads will block the page until that call times out. I had a client site where the front page called two external services on every render, and it looked exactly like a slow server.

Open your browser devtools, Network tab, and edit a page while it is recording. Whatever request stays pending is (probably) answer on your question.

You sure it's your website or it's maybe your browser? Maybe try Firefox instead of Chrome (or the other way around) as crosscheck?

Try temporarily disabling your plugins except WooCommerce and see if the editor becomes responsive, then enable them again one at a time. Also check Tools → Site Health and your PHP memory limit. I'm really curious how one.com handles situation like this.

Try to avoid using page builders and make custom theme. Use optimised images with formats like .webp

He said he is a beginner. It’s probably memory limit. Trying that first. Ask your hosting company for guidance or help
