I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but:

Whenever I'm editing a page on a wikia, the page will occasionally lag for some amount of time (around 20 or more seconds average). It doesn't say "not responding", but I can't do anything on the page at all; the caret gets stuck where it was, I can't click anything, and the mouse cursor becomes the default cursor rather than switching to text or pointer. I say "lag" because it seems that the mouse clicks register once the lag ends, so if I clicked on the preview button it usually opens the preview once it stops lagging. If I x out of the tab while it's lagging, it takes a few seconds before it closes. This doesn't appear to be specific to any wikia; at the very least it's happened on Wookieepedia, the Half Life Wiki, and I think on the Carrion wiki.

I don't know why this happens at all, but looking at Task Manager, it seems to be very CPU and power intensive, so it's probably the wikia trying to do something.

I use Windows 10 and my browser is Google Chrome.
