Elementor And Page Speed | Is It A Problem?

I see that there is a group of people that think Elementor and other page builders are the worst because they make your website slow. Often it is people that are really fanatic when it comes to page speed.
In this video, I want to talk about what the goal is of a website, if Elementor makes your website slower and if that is a problem.
Get Elementor: ferdykorp.com/elementor
Get Fast Webhosting: webhostingfk.com
It is true that Google will rank your website lower when your website is slow but it does not rank you higher when your website is blazing fast. When you have a decent web hosting provider and you use Elementor in combination with a few other plugins there is nothing to worry about.

I really hope my virus joke does not offend anyone. It comes across as a bit stronger than I intended. While there is a virus in the world I try to focus on my family, friends, and the good things in life. I know people with a lot of different views on the situation on earth and I respect every one of them. So again. I hope I do not offend anyone.

[@dejansimic2000]

Not offensive at all, mate. Just keep up great work! Cheers

[@RivieraKid69]

No offence taken, it helped to explain your point. And a nice description regarding page speed.

your video is informative and at the same time so funny, that why can't stop watching :D

[@wisdom.seeker]

Chill pill bro, the knowledge you are giving is extreemly helpful.

[@tentwelvedesign]

Ferdy you make so much sense in this video. i have client using elementor and it’s slow and she has made little over 2 million in sales in the past 2 years even during the pandemic. I truly believe it’s the content and not so much the site speed. You have the right content people will come to your site. keep up the good work!

[@nicole.makes.websites]

I LOVE this video. You put what I think all the time in great words. Yes, it will slow your site down, but not a lot, and not enough to discount the benefits it provides.

[@jackiemasek8302]

You are simply passionate about the things you love! Thank you for explaining about the page speed of Elementor.

[@007Palatino]

I absolute love your content Ferdy, straight to the point with great humour. Very Inspirational

[@johnravi3887]

Hi Ferdy, It was a great video! Thanks a lot for sharing your insights about this. I think there is a lot of misconception around Elemantor, and I am so glad that somebody decided to bust these questions and talk about them in a professional manner. I really enjoyed watching your video, and I will definitely be sharing this within my network to let others know about this as well. Looking forward to watching more such amazing videos from you!

[@jennifertiffany363]

I'm so glad you said all this. I am not super new to building websites, but I have only begun having issues since using Elementor. I know I have a lot of plugins and it's slowing it down. But I've simplified everything as much as I can. The problem is, my website isn't fast. It's so slow. I need to know how to speed it up without sacrificing function and design.

[@carlosrangel4500]

My last client had this concern about speed too, but when she saw the website I made, all her doubts just disappeared. Thanks for your content Ferdy :)

[@stevestapelberg9163]

Ferdy, thank you. At last - a voice of reason. Great wisdom, much appreciated.

[@LynchMurphy]

Thanks for all your dedication man! But still waiting for a more broad course on creating multi-vendor website with Elementor and Crocoblock.

[@chrismcmorrow9738]

Thanks, Ferdy. Very insightful. You’re a good man.

[@jack_of_all_marketing]

I fell into the trap of trying to make my website faster and faster, because I didn't have a cap as to what's fast "enough". Someone told me that I should look at how fast my direct competitors' sites are, and just aim to be a little faster than theirs. And I've found that to be a GREAT bit of advice. Just like your content! You share great advice, Ferdy.

[@kaushiknavadiya661]

Loved it. Content is always king.

[@ferdykorpershoek]

[@amikaza7596]

Hey Ferdy! Thanks for this. Could you make a video about a websites most essential plugins? For a example, just a simple blog or a webshop... What do you think are the most crucial plugins for a website to be save (security and backups), fast, etc.

[@jeffxcc]

totally agree, I built a Candle shop and we get orders. We don't have clients timing page loading ect. I'm also mastering oxygen not necessarily because of speed, but complete creative freedom. I want to state I love both Elementor and Oxygen !

[@gad1023]

what is the name of the plugin that shows page speed load time on the top page bar?

[@pusii874]

Hi Ferdy! I have a problem in wordpress. I want to use Bitter typography and in the elementor it works but as soon as I go to the page it turns to Sans-Serif. The other problem is that the pictrues I upload to elementor do not appear on the page. Could anyone please help me? Thank you in advance.

[@danimordecai7611]

Always brilliant. Straight to the heart of tech. 👍

[@securityranger773]

I agree wholeheartedly that the small differences in speed really should have no effect on your end goal as long as your content is adequate. However, using one page builder or Gutenberg blocks over another is not content. It's coming to the point, as far as design is concerned, that there is not much you can't do with Gutenberg block plugins that you can do with page builders.

[@JoeGator23]

I like Elementor Pro, but Gutenberg is big going into the future and clients are going to ask for it by name. I own tons of software licenses for these page builders, including Elementor Pro. However, if you ignore Gutenberg, you will be at a disadvantage as it's power and capabilities increase and you have no idea how to use it properly as a creator. My advice is to learn both systems, and it is not that hard to add these additional skills with practice- if you can drive a car, why not learn to drive a truck, right? In the future, lots of small businesses are going to start with Gutenberg because of ease of access to web design at a great price. When they upgrade, they are not going to want another platform, but want to expand as Gutenberg grows. Someone in their office will probably already knows how to use it. So it is only common sense for them if they already manage their own website and marketing to keep it running for their needs without learning a new platform. If you don't know how to use Gutenberg, they will call someone else who does... people like me. And I will get their referrals. However, if they want to try Elementor, I can do that, too. I've owned it since the beginning and enjoy the ease of use offered to clients. Just something to consider.

[@Lulu-kt6gr]

I know you don’t think Elementor slows down the website but with a Ezoic it apparently does slow it down. If I remove Elementor, can I keep the pages I’ve already built but then go forward with Gutenberg? Will that speed up my site?

[@serkankurnaz1027]

@ferdy how can u see the pagespeed on admin topar? Plug in? 🤐 TYVM

[@Lulu-kt6gr]

Hi I don’t know why I didn’t see any of the problems with Elementor before I built my website with it and 48 posts! Now I am trying to add Ezoic and seeing how it slows things down. Can you tell me: if I very slowly work on one post at a time, converting to Gutenberg, but leave the pages as they are, will this improve my site speed with Ezoic ? Ezoic doesn’t tell you up front that this will be a problem and while I was researching pagebuilders trying to figure out how to do this on my own, I never heard one bad comment mentioned about Elementor. I also have Astra which is supposedly an additional “problem.”

[@dimMx]

Very nice video. Things that matter : 1. Good use of elements and widgets of elementor. Only the necessary and only the minimum number of sections you need to build. 2. Use of elementor pro, because some of the features include and replace other plugins like the contact forms or social media share icons. 3. A quick server. 4. A cache plugin like wp-rocket. 5. Optimization of images with jpg or webp format. And of course, content is the king.

[@razakalsharafy4708]

I love Elementor over all other PB but Gutenberg is on top of speed. also, the next WP version 5.9 with full page editing the game will be changed. We have seen major increase in the number of plugins supporting Guttenberg with lot of features to make it major player but not close to Elementor. It is true that there is compromise between features and speed. However, degrading the importance of speed in Elementor needs to be supported with numbers and many youtubers already showed that there is difference and it is not small. Elementor still the major choice for pro Web Dev/Des but the must work harder/faster in the speed issue and maybe slow down the features stage. I liked the idea of other PB to skip WP and go to Cloud Solution and Elementor should think for solution out of the box.

[@ferdykorpershoek]
