> You can do this if you pay for hosting or an account on wordpress.com. As this was meant to be a pet project, I really didn't want to pay for it, so went with the wordpress.com free account.
A payment is actually not needed in order to use the Classic Editor with a Free site.
There is also a possibility to edit or create any post or page in WP Admin, which will allow you to use the Classic Editor. Navigate to yoursite.WordPress.com/wp-admin and then click on Posts or Pages in the left sidebar.
Next you can hover over any post or page title and choose the "Classic Editor" link below the title. If you wish to create a new post or page within Classic Editor, then please click the down arrow next to the Add New button at the top and choose Classic Editor.
We are also happy to answer any of your questions and try to understand why the editor is laggy for you if you send us an email via help@WordPress.com. Thank you!
