There can be several reasons why Webflow crashes when you click the link after adding a component that contains a link, text, and image, and setting the properties to be pulled from your CMS blog posts. Here are a few potential reasons and solutions:

Complex interactions: If you have complex interactions applied to your components, it might overload the browser and cause Webflow to crash. To fix this, you can try simplifying the interactions or reducing the number of interactions on the page.
Large image sizes: Large image sizes can significantly impact the performance of your website. If you're pulling images from your CMS and they have large file sizes, it can slow down your site and potentially cause crashes. Resize and optimize your images before uploading them to reduce their file size.
CMS data conflicts: If there are conflicts in the CMS data you're pulling into your component, such as missing or incorrect data, it can cause issues and crashes. Double-check that the data in your CMS is correctly populated and matches the components you're trying to connect.
Insufficient browser capabilities: Sometimes, browser settings or extensions can conflict with Webflow and cause crashes. Try disabling any browser extensions or using a different browser to see if the issue persists.
Memory limitations: Webflow is an advanced web design tool that requires a certain amount of system resources. If your computer has insufficient memory or processing power, it can lead to crashes. Close any unnecessary applications or upgrade your hardware if needed.

If you've tried these solutions and the issue still persists, it might be beneficial to reach out to Webflow support for further assistance. They can help troubleshoot the specific issue you're facing and provide guidance to resolve it.
