Elementor always in Beta stage…

  • This is a very handy builder. Easy to manage, edit pages and etc, but is a very resource hungry.

    Even without fine tune the existent resources, the developers try to insert more and more functions almost every release (untested), so the Javascript, CSS and every asset becomes bigger and bigger, slowing you site to the knees… and offering you every day a new sort of bugs to fix!

    To be fair, they promise news functions that will optimize more the speed and provide more compatibility. Yay!

    Bullshit. More resources that makes your sites even slower and bug infested.

    When you pointing it out in the support, they deny problems and say the problem is on our side, not the heavy and inumerous javascript and CSS that are inserted in every build.

    To compare, every new page builder created less than 1 year ago is more lightweight and faster tha the old and “king of the hill” Elementor. Any junior programmer can do better than Elementor nowdays.

    To makes things worse, here in the support threads, they only respond what they want and who they want because they don’t give a damn for what is right.

    It’s shit show and you will lose most of your time figuring out problems that the own developers don’t admit.

    Now I’m in a long process of migrate all my sites to gutenberg or another (new) builder. All the sites that I end the migration process are faster, lighter and bug free.

    To be constructive to the developers (who never respond or see reviews here):

    Be (way) more humble, listen more to your customers!

    Stop inserting more fat in the code and do the inverse, there’s no future in SEO and performance maintaining sites with Elementor so bloated. Mobile performance is always poor because of that. You CSS engine and insane amout of JS files to do things that WordPress do natively is irrational. So many backend assets loaded in the background for visitors is lazy…

    Think a little, be more humble, listen more.

    Oh, and stop threating your customers like beta testers.
