Dont use this. It will kill your SEO Score

What about compensating this with some speed optimization plugins? Try Nitropack

Yeah, thats not really true tho. We use Elementor for 100+ websites, we reached .4s load time for the newer sites and always have 95+ SEO score (Mostly 100).

Most people just don’t understand how to optimize their website properly, but that hasn’t anything to do with Elementor. When the site is crawled and cached, Elementor is out of the picture.

@cruxweb @mejoraminegocio I called the support, i tried alle the plugins and adjustments they suggested. Nothing worked. The site is still shitty slow.

You both feel free to proof me wrong: send me the optimization tools you use, ill try them.

@mejoraminegocio i will not pay for the Plugin “Nitropack” to boost a website that is slow because of Elementor which I already payed for…

Well by the response and tone i already now that you have barely a clue on how websites work. You’re probably one of them “webdevelopers” that pretend to be capable of making websites, while you are not. But hey, easier to blame someone else right for your missing knowledge?! As someone with 20+ years experience in websites, software and apps, i’ve seen more then enough of your type of “webdevelopers”. I replaced allot of those websites that had a plugin for every problem.

Elementor is a backend tool to generate the front end in a quick and easy way. In the Editor you will be generating HTML, CSS and JS depending on the widgets you use. This will be shown on the front-end.

The first rule to optimize everything, is making everything as it should, using best practices and know what you’re doing. I don’t assume you know the basics of HTML, CSS (3), JS and PHP because you know for sure it’s Elementors fault…. but cant fix it. Start with learning this. Will only take a few years to become an expert.

Another very important step is to get a good server that has enough resources. We use only the best of the best, because we want the best of the best results. So get a VPN with Litespeed servers and then install the Litespeed Plugin (Free, but only work as intended with a Litespeed server). Read the entire documentation so you know what to do and what setting does what. (Took me 3 days) After this, our performance went up from +- 50 pagespeed / seo score to 90+. Especially the webp converter and the auto crawler are very important.

Make sure you make the websites in Elementor with the “Flexbox container” option. And maby the most important one is, don’t solve every problem with a plugin. Only use the plugins that you need. If you have installed more then 20+ plugins, you lost, try again. I made extremely complicated webshops with Elementor + Crocoblock, with only 8 plugins.

Few examples that have 90+ scores:
– https://handgemaaktbrood.nl
– https://myfloorshop.nl/
– https://fysiotrainingweesp.nl/
– https://stekkersnel.nl/

So before blaming Elementor, try blaming yourself.

@cruxweb thank you but sadly I knew all that already… no need to be pissed “big developer”.

Elementor claims it is a wordpress plugin for non-developers and beginners. They specifically promise an “easy to use tool to build a great performing website”, and I just didnt get that at all…
