Figma Sites: Large block of text makes it run veeeery slow

I pasted a large block of text into a box, and it slows the system down so much that it’s unusable. The rest of the page is unaffected. I have to break it up into smaller parts, which is fine, except it’s just long legal text which all needs to stay together.

Maybe it’s because the text is in German (therefore most of the text is underlined in red), but that seems unlikely.

Not sure how to report the problem to the developers.

Hi ​@Eliot_Lovell,

 

I understand you’re experiencing significant slowdown when pasting a large block of text into a text box in your Figma Sites file.

 

I tried to reproduce this issue on my end but haven’t been able to so far. Could you please confirm a few more details?

  • Is this happening only in your browser, only in the desktop app, or in both?

  • Does it occur in a specific Figma Sites file, or across all of your files?

  • Do you see any error messages when this happens?

  • Can you tell us a bit more about what you mean by “slows the system down”? Like, are things getting slow on the canvas, or is the published site taking a long time to load?

It would also be really helpful if you could share a short screen recording demonstrating the behavior (with your full Figma screen visible).
This will help us understand exactly what’s happening and how we can best assist you.

 

Just so you know, here’s how to submit a bug report for future reference: submit a bug report.

 

Thanks!
