[@iwbowden]

Arrrgh! Where were you two or three years ago?! This is simply one of the most helpful Elementor instructional videos I've ever watched - and I've watched a lot! Like any complicated and infinitely-configurable product, Elementor has been lacking a series of "best practices" videos such as this one, showing us the optimal way to build pages made to load more quickly. I've viewed dozens of tutorials by other Elementor users who've demonstrated a number of techniques which I've adopted and are actually all very bad habits. Please keep these coming! The more you demonstrate how to get more out of your product the more educated and informed - and loyal - your customers will be.

[@Elementor]

Hey Ian thank you for your feedback! Have you watched all 5 parts of this series? What did you think? kzbin.info/aero/PLZyp9H25CboFg7tA0J3ksRf7gjOsrW1Ot

[@unclesocial186]

@@Elementor Please don't stop at 5 parts! Best practice for every single Elementor Widget would be great, perhaps best practice for nagivation layouts and common pages like Contact would be good too?

[@vnikyt]

Exactly. I now have so many old websites to optimize because I was building in the dark

[@frankstone]

I wanted to THANK YOU for this tutorial. I'm new to WordPress, however I do manage 6 websites. Coming over from Adobe Dreamweaver has been the right move. Over the past year, I've watched several different KZbin tutorials that have helped in my transition. This is the first one I've seen that specifically looks at "layout" optimization techniques. Your presentation was just what I needed.

[@heathercunningham9514]

Thank you! This is possibly one of the most useful tutorials on Elementor ever! And should be the first video watched after installing Elementor. I've got some work to do!

[@foxharold1053]

i guess Im kinda randomly asking but does anybody know of a good place to watch new series online ?

[@cyrussamir724]

@Fox Harold lately I have been using FlixZone. You can find it by googling =)

[@riazbudree2481]

Heather I could not agree more. I’m guilty of column and inner section use. This has been most useful.

[@emmaoakley690]

[@casperpost2557]

Wow. No optimalization plugin can beat this. Absolutely great tutorial. Going to be more aware about this in my upcoming projects. Thanks!

[@_HMCB_]

Just amazing how much cruft you cleaned up by using the single column. I learned so much. Thanks 🙏

[@andonisr]

Excellent guide on such a useful topic. It's always frustrating trying to reduce page load times and requests. You've shown us some excellent tips - which I'd never thought of implementing. Now I know what to do for each one of my websites!! Thank you so much Ash!! Please do more in the future as Elementor evolves so we can be updated on best practises!

[@eduardopereira-fr5nw]

You finally nailed it!!! Image that I was so frustrated with Elementor regarding the speeding performance that I was ready to switch to Kadence Blocks. this video is a game changer for us!!!! Love Elementor.

[@keywikiwi]

This is hands down the best elementor page layout video ive watched so far. Well done

[@nzwebtech1915]

This full of excellent advice - nice work! Changing multi-columns to a combo of better choice widgets and using size/position more effectively is going to keep me busy for a while...

great! these are some of the most helpful videos for nocode web designers. Even to understand in code form how to structure a website better.

[@markr.]

Hi, thanks so much for this it's been very informative and helped a lot. I understand the overriding message to simplify where possible and minimize containers but the section with the icon boxes would not work on mobile as they'd be too small. It's the columns that enable elements to cascade under each other unless I'm missing something here. Please let me know if I'm wrong as this would be helpful also. Thanks again.

Great video! The part about the image carousel is incorrect in my opinion, it loads an extra js that you don't really need, you can just use image widget with auto position and custom width like you did in the beginning of your video

I’ve used the icon widget to achieve the results you showed, however on some colorful svg icons the colors are shifting when they are selected. How do I avoid this issue? I found that creating this layout from scratch eliminated this issue when selecting them using the image widget, but I would like to optimize this section and use one icon widget.
