Some or all of the below information will be requested if it isn’t supplied; for fastest response please provide as much as you can :heart:

Nextcloud version (eg, 20.0.5): 23.0.2
Operating system and version (eg, Ubuntu 20.04): Arch Linux
Apache or nginx version (eg, Apache 2.4.25): nginx 1.20.2-1
PHP version (eg, 7.4): 8.1.3-1

The issue you are facing:

Nextcloud stops responding for a few seconds every few seconds. So when I go to click on a menu item on the sidebar it will suddenly stop responding to any mouse movement or mouse clicks or any other events. If the mouse pointer was a hand it will remain a hand for the few seconds it’s frozen and then when nextcloud unfreezes the pointer will turn into a mouse pointer again if im no longer on a menu item.

I’ve noticed this a lot in the logs:
PHP security error: /var/lib/nextcloud/apps/richdocumentscode/proxy.php is not under the default docroot

I basically set it up according to this wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Nextcloud
using uwsqi and postgres

Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? (Y/N): Y

Steps to replicate it:

  1. Open nextcloud on any device
