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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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 :)
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.
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.
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.
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!
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 !
Рік тому+1
I would correct your statement to "No it´s not problem to have a slower website, unless somebody has the same quality content but better page speed."
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.
Great presentation Ferdy... I fear we have the same sense of humour, your children will be very grateful when they hit their teenage years, as are mine... NOT lol. I wondered how you could tell if your host was a "good host"? I have been hosting with a UK company for years but also have a "Grow Big" account on SG. Is there a way I could compare them?
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.”
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?
HAHAHA its hapenned to me,. my site in 0,7s - 1,4s load , and in the first page (number 5) in targeted main keyword. But guess what, that 4 websites above me, had 2,7s - 4,7s load. I regret to reduce the content so much.
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.
Thanks for this video Fredy. What you think about webflow? Is it better than wordpress? I am using wordpress for 4 years now and now I am questioning myself about it.
Good question! Only use the plugins you need. It depends on the weight of the plugin so I can not give you a number. If you want to be safe make sure your website loads within 1.5 seconds.
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.
Of course nobody cares about 1 sec delay...............but what most people ARE experiencing is 3,4,5,6,7 secs delay and even more than that so elementor does slow down your website AND IT CERTAINLY IS A PROBLEM!.........A BIG ONE!!!
I think its better if you your wife make a shorter website for the books she is selling. The domain is very long. I always like your great tuturials. Thank you
Hi Ferdy, love your content, many thanks, really appreciate your video tutorials. I have a website compiled in Wordpress and has many issues. Is there a way to reach out to you, maybe you would kindly provide a little bit of feedback?
You started the Crocoblock series in January and stopped updating it in February, but you're still promoting the product. When you say in your videos "Over the next weeks I'm going to make tutorials for everything" you need to continue to do it. Or dont say it at all.
How can you know you would not make much better buisiness with a faster site? ;) Page speed ist very important for google rankings and Elementor is realy damn slow.
"I use a lot of plugins" > proceed to show only 12 plugins activated. 12 plugins is NOT a lot of plugins! hence why your website load under 1s despite using elementor. 25-30 plugins (and sometimes unfortunately they are all necessary) starts to be a lot, not 10 or 12...

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

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

Why is elementor builder SUPER slow for me? It takes 15 seconds for every click to load. The builder itself, working inside the workspace.

If i use crocroc with elementor pro, and decide to go to elementor free, what would happen to all the content I created?

Your website has a Plug-In called Bugatti which has some serious Page Speed POWEEER!!! :P Content is King not 0.05s of loading
Here in Germany we need to slow down like the Netherlands! :-) Thanks!

Yeah!
@@ferdycom Exactly. And it takes consistent effort, time and investment.
70 score for desktop and 50 for mobile its very good, don't be an addictive to speed, and make it against your content.

You are totally right!
Ferdy how do U record Ur face and screen??
I record my screen using screenflow and push te record button on my camera. Later I edit them together.
great job
Thanks!
How can you know you would not make much better buisiness with a faster site? ;) Page speed ist very important for google rankings and Elementor is realy damn slow.
As you see my websites see not slow even though I use Elementor. My websites are still fast.
Best regards to you
Thank you 😊
Bravo
Fanatic? Bashing your counterparts? Elementor remind me of Koveed
Some people are fanatic when it cones to site speed. I like it when people are fanatic, but it does not make Elementor a bad tool 😊
