Excuse me while I go post on forums about how WP is slow and unusable.

[@ToadyEN]

This is actually an insider on what clients do once you've handed over a finished project to them.

[@WPCasts]

I feel this hard

[@jontronics7676]

nailed it

[@xiampiii]

Deadass today after handing over the site, they decided to upload RAW images to Wordpress Media, crashed the server and told me verbatim “you got to be fucking kidding me, this website is incomplete” and I was there like :/

[@ToadyEN]

@@xiampiii 😭

[@skeepskeeperson]

As someone that gets asked to fix the lighthouse numbers on client WordPress sites, I feel all the pain behind this video. I get to follow behind designers that drop the full unoptimized images, not even clients. Also, love that you chose Elementor, be sure to to Divi in your next one. Nearly as bad as Elementor when it comes to page speed.

[@noise8653]

Use elementor for a text widget, instead of 2/3 divs, they will put a 1MB worth fonts, 2MB worth Styles, 3MB worth scripts and 12+ divs, 5+ spans frekin beautiful!! :v

[@kellenmace3948]

I love it! You were certainly successful in your quest to make a sloooooow WP site. A+ 😂

[@milenkrastev9796]

Haha I would like to watch more of that... A client of mine had a plugin to change button colour of another plugin I will use this video for educational purposes

[@Arashi1138]

Actual tears..... I showed this around the office and had a few client managers do the "SEEEEE!!!! I TOLD YOU ITS BAD!!!!" ...and then more tears, but for a different reason.

[@josechirino5168]

I have never laughed so much watching a tutorial, please more content like this

[@pasizdobrekuce]

Hahah I like it. Sarcasm is mother of humor. 👍👍👍 Company that I work for switched from ACF to elementor...I resigned

[@ToadyEN]

Not gonna lie, I'm actually impressed that the score is 38 haha.

[@MicraHakkinen]

Now imagine how much better that score will be once we install 3 different caching plugins. Do those stack additively or multiplicatively? Either way it's going to be way fast :D

SAVAGE LEVEL 9999999999999999999999%

[@user-ob3ph6fm5d]

Wow that's exactly what I needed! Thank you so much! Slow and steady is the name of the game 2021... XD

[@gius-pe]

`wp plugin install --activate wp-passive-aggressive`

[@LasVegasVocalist]

Great video! This should be labeled, "How NOT to build a WordPress Site!!!" I've had clients do almost exactly what you've done here in this video and I truly feel your pain.

[@BuntyWP]

Learning lots of things from you. You are an inspiration.

[@maximkosak]

This is awesome, vote for part 2!

[@andersa9655]

I get it, this is clearly a joke. BUT those are not uncommon customer wishes, they want sliders, they want things to 'pop'. I'm looking forward to the follow up video where you add all those customer wishes and still get a green score :)

[@Perchpole]

Genius. :)

[@BMikel]

The answer is very simple: Just use page builder with more than 7-8 3rd party plugins / addons, and you got it. And you forgot to add Lottie aimations for elementor.

[@WPCasts]

I thought about it, but I'd have to use the PRO version.

[@anirudhachakrabarty2050]

@@WPCasts pro version not need for that..there are elementor addons which have options to add lottie animations.. And the speed really sucks.. Other plugin apart from these is header footer elementor..this is enough to make to make your site slowest ever.. Can you tell me the solutions.. Gtmatrix always shows fonts images and elementor which causes slow websites.

[@tceriksen79]

More. MORE! MOOOORRREEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@WPCasts]

hahahahaha 😂

[@LikeFunnyMovies]

awesome tutorial, gonna apply a lot from your ideas. Have a great day ;)

[@pepeutriainen9201]

Just so fun, when you make irony :)

[@alex_ishchenko]

True

[@DvApps]

Just what I was looking for, my on site time will be through the roof now since people will be waiting ages for pages to load!

[@berenjor]

This is too real.

[@TomHermans]

Love this.

[@denisecknauer4627]

I was laughing almost all video long :D

[@abulhassan-a1a]

Very nice and very innovative, speaking of slow websites can you please create content on " Remove unused Javascript and CSS" ?

[@sagarshrestha1755]

Next level

[@jazzyniko]

😮 maybe that's the reason my Wordpress site is so slow on raspberry pi 3B 😮 Other documents like PHP, txt files.. load quick but not WordPress. Only remotely I get very slow WordPress site not on local. Is it faster to load a WP site on local?

[@jontronics7676]

lol you just did all of the "hot fixes" anyone could ever ask for in like ..... 10 mins

[@houssemghozzi5766]

Hahaha loved that idea

[@NelmediaCa]

Hmm, you should have used the OceanWP theme and load everything, you would have had more tools... and you also forgot the FB news directly on your site.. and why not Twitter, not everybody uses FB...! And the live chat, of course!

[@GitaStreet]

Lol nice subject 😂

[@tobiaswe5483]

Haha, good stuff!

[@BenKaminski]

HAHAHAHAHAH -- dying over here. How to Make a Wix website from WordPress! #fantastic Me: That will be 15k kind sir. Company: No problem -- who do I make the check out to! HA!

[@phantom7767]

Is this a tutorial on how to be one of my clients? Autiplaying music on every page is cool right ?

[@fatjay9402]

Lol good Video

[@ikramhaider]

I think headless is the solution for slow WordPress

[@Zszywacz]

I understand that it's a joke. Am I right? Because optimization is not about plugins but how you use them. You could lazy load some scripts to make that better.

[@christostsm5795]

oh man, laughed my ass fucking out, you crazy boii. now seriusly, what about some plugin development? :D

[@JonathanBuckland]

All I can say is 😂😂😂😂

[@JimKernix]

Let me guess, you just worked on a site that had all of that and they complained about page speed? The customer ISN'T always right.

[@akfaykn1578]

ahaha😂

[@philipphenke]

😂😂😂

[@neilwilliams2883]
