Migrating sites away from Enfold – great experience with Kadence
-
Have used the Enfold theme for years, but have never succeeded in overcoming the poor mobile page load speeds. The Kadence theme with Gutenberg and the Kadence Block plugin is proving a powerful combination. I’m getting mobile page loads on Google PageSpeed of 1.4 sec (99%) versus 5.3 sec (86%) with Enfold. It looks like I won’t even need the Litespeed caching plugin. Very impressed.

Hey @davidebongianni,
One by one, I created a staging site, enabled the Kadence theme, and then:
– set-up the header and footer, global styles (fonts/links etc), and global page/post layout
– went through each page and post, stripped out all the [enfold shortcodes], and used the live site on another screen to help rebuild the design (e.g. columns, spacers, media) on each pageWhen complete, (1) copy the
/wp-uploads/directory to the live site, (2) import the database, (3) open thewp_optionstable and set theoption_valueofsiteurlandhometo e.g.https://yoursite.com, (4) install and run the Better Search Replace plugin to update all the urls in the database (excluding thehttps://www.part) from e.g.staging.yoursite.comtoyoursite.com.Needless to say, take backups of the sites and databases before making any changes ??
