I posted this on another thread, but in the interest of helping others out and getting some feedback I’ll post here as well…

I’ve run into a similar issue specifically with JS performance and multiple TinyMCE elements. I’ve been working on a fix that I’d love some help testing.

Like many of you I end up with sites that have a TinyMCE field in a repeater or flexible content widget. If the client ends up adding more rows than expected the performance degrades quickly.

So I built an add-on field that lazy loads the TinyMCE editor when someone wants to edit the content of the field. That way only one TinyMCE instance is active at a given time and performance improves significantly.

I’ve used it in a few places and it currently supports both ACF4 and ACF5, but I’d love to get more people using it to see if I’ve missed anything.

Any feedback would be great.
