Just amazing how much cruft you cleaned up by using the single column. I learned so much. Thanks 🙏
Ummmm...like...,.wowwww...this is great stuff...thank you.
I see we left you speechless😆 I'm happy you liked it!
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.
Hey Ian thank you for your feedback! Have you watched all 5 parts of this series? What did you think? th-cam.com/play/PLZyp9H25CboFg7tA0J3ksRf7gjOsrW1Ot.html
@@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?
Exactly. I now have so many old websites to optimize because I was building in the dark
This makes me wonder, when would more than one columns be needed? Would it not be better to remove multiple so that everyone learn to build more efficiently using one?
What about mobile first? The desktop results are ALWAYS Better than the mobile results at lighthouse.
Exactly!!!
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 TH-cam 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.
Please update Template Elementor Libary with optimize layout.
So that beginer can easy insert template then have more speed. Another reason, it can educate how User use elementor. More and more web made with elementor loading fast.
@@TimOlukayodeAjayi I think you mean you “couldn’t agree more”, not “less”. 😜
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!
i guess Im kinda randomly asking but does anybody know of a good place to watch new series online ?
@Fox Harold lately I have been using FlixZone. You can find it by googling =)
Heather I could not agree more. I’m guilty of column and inner section use. This has been most useful.
@@riazbudree2481 And me! I actually asked myself this question the other day and then thought nothing more of it. I feel very seen with this tutorial! Haha.
Wow. No optimalization plugin can beat this. Absolutely great tutorial. Going to be more aware about this in my upcoming projects. Thanks!
20:26 You are using "DESKTOP" to measure speed. Any reason not to use "MOBILE"?
Great Tuto! Only one thing so how do you suppose to invert widgets now? Because when I invert columns it works perfectly but now without columns it does not invert widgets! Any suggestions for it?
Agreed! I was trying to figure that out too
@@jaxrachel ye I know... It's a great value this Tuto but to me it was not completed
Hi there, thank you for your comment. Widgets like Call to Action offer change of the layout on responsive mode, but you could still use a second column if you find a limitation. Just try to keep the use of widgets, columns and inner sections to a minimum. Hope this helps
@@stevenkiridis thanks for answering. As I thought you just confirm. Appreciate it. 🙌
hey, tnx for the tutorial, very helpful!! one problem... when i try to make the widgets mobile responsive its not looks good on mobile!! there is no many options.
how to make it mobile responsive? (for example the call to action widget, its hard to adjust to mobile)
I have done all steps like adviced. But the loading time increased from 1,75 sec to 2,23 sec. The number of requests increased from 77 to 95. Lighthouse Performance decreased from 33 to 24. So in all points it was disadvantagous. Is it possible that a complex widget like the "Call To Action" loads slower than four simple widgets like "Title", "Text", "Picture" and "Button"?
Yeah, I'm here. My performance was worse!
If elementor really wanted to help improve our PSI scores, they would include an option to remove the 99% unused CSS and JS that gets thrown into our pages. I noticed in this video they didn't show this pages coverage report... I wonder why
Probably is a little harder to do right now, let's hope that it will be better in next versions
It is a pity you haven't shown all the sections on the mobile version..I was curios to see how this would go...
I may try to do one section as described, and see what it does on the phone
@@JulaWeg I did and the hero section is crap...
@@aledianin Thanks, I feel better. Yesterday I gave up redoing my website. Is what it is. I need to talk to Elementor Techs. Have nicely set up Global setting but any time I need to add a section I have to copy the previous one and redo it.
Did Adam see this? 😂. Thank you for this. So helpfull!
How do you know exactly the number to put in for width? What's the best way to find out how much space a widget is taking? Thank you!
Savion, the complete space of the line is 100%, so you can divide the columns according to your needs. As he had 4 widgets, he placed each one to occupy 25% of the space. If there were 3, you could put 33% for each widget. Hope this helps. Sorry my English.
If under Advanced > Positioning > Width > Custom you can set a widgets width % to position widgets beside each other and optimise for width on Desktop, Tablet, Mobile, rather than stacked, why would you need to use inline auto. (Wondering what would be a use case for using Inline Auto instead of Custom)
Hi Denis, I gave this answer to your previous comment but I am repeating it in case more users have this question. The inline (auto) option will be similar to display:inline. This means that a widget takes automatically its actual width. Setting the width to custom is like deciding manually what the width of a widget is, whether it's less or more than its actual width. Hope this helps 👍
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!
If only I had seen this before rebuilding a 200-page website. Great information!
almost the same here lol
Optimize for GTmetrix and desktop and optimize for Google Page Speed Insights mobile is totally different story…
I ready wish Elementor can optimize further for PSI. Looks like most likely it's not going to happen soon…
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...
Thank you for the video! Good job!
I have a few questions though.
Do all the proposed changes result in semantically correct html?
Sure merging sections will result in less code and simpler html layout. But doesn't that defeat the purpose of having sections in the first place?
Thank you!
I have this same question.
Very good, clear tutorial. I wonder how your website will look on phones or tablets. I thought that sections are designed to make the website accessible on any size of equipment. Let me know
Best Elementor video I have ever seen. This is freaking amazing!!!
Well that was simple and smart. Thank you
Call to Action not good for mobile view.
My image will be cropped
Hello - Thanks for this video.
The lighthouse test is for desktop version, but this is often not the problem.
Please show an example of the optimization of a "mobile" version.
I agree, very useful video, but mobile is the real pain, would love more of that!
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
looks good but is almost impossible to redo existing page. i spend all day trying to simplify home page without any success. i’m not sure why but the global settings is not working. i wonder if anybody else had so much problems?
Elementor has a setting that allows you to use either the elementor colors and fonts, or the ones from your theme, that could be the problem?
But how do we know how many pixels we need to reduce in margins to center the text?
I was wondering how he came to that number my self.
Excellent video, and I've already subscribed to your informative channel though I've only got one complaint. The part where you've used the "call to action" widget, you should've mentioned that this option or feature is only for Elementor Pro. That being said, I did learn a lot from this video. Thanks
Thank you for your feedback Vin Vin!
This was the most profitable 20 minutes of this week ! Thank you Ash and all the team for this kind of tutorial. So much values and good advices to be even better ! Can wait for news videos, i'm addicted to hahaha
Wow François I'm happy you found it valuable! Have you seen the whole Optimization playlist? th-cam.com/play/PLZyp9H25CboFg7tA0J3ksRf7gjOsrW1Ot.html
Is there a content counter that will give me the number of widgets, columns, and sections on a page?
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.
The Call To Action image seems to have a weakness compared to using an image widget. There doesn't seem to be any way to have the image in a Call to Action actively resize the image as the screen size changes like it does in an Image widget. No matter what I do to the spacing and sizing and such there will always be some cropping of the image at some image size. Any way around this? Also it would be nice to have multiple buttons!
Great tutorial and I definitely learned a lot!
+1
This was very helpful. If this is the standard practice, why aren't the templates built this way?
If the shortcuts for the copyright symbol doesn't work then just use " © "
S E N S A T I O N A L ! ! !
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.
Wow, that's great tutorial.
What if a brand want to display many information and its requires many columns and sections, how do you go about it?
Hi Gideon, thank you for your comment. You would approach this project in the same way. Simplify the sections that can be simplified using widgets, and keep the use of columns / inner columns and widgets to a minimum. Hope this helps!
@@stevenkiridis thanks
Wow ... What an incredible learning resource--THANK YOU! This one is definitely being saved for future reference!
How do I get lighthouse, it doesn't appear in the inspection element
Thanks a lot. I have been using Elementor for 3 years, but I learned many new things from this tutorial :)
Wow thank you! I'm happy you found it informative 😊
I didn't know that defining global fonts and global colors improves performance. After your video, I did it on a website, and the loading time improved around 2 seconds. Thanks a lot
Are the blog post templates in Elementor Pro optimized?
Will you redo these videos with containers?
Amazing video !!! Thanks !
what a great of tutorial!
this made me wanna go check all the other videos on this channel to see what other gems you been hiding!
Thanks Elmoonez! There is a whole treasure chest of them in this series💎 th-cam.com/play/PLZyp9H25CboFg7tA0J3ksRf7gjOsrW1Ot.html
Excellent. Just what we need. More like this please.
Thanks Erica! Have you seen the whole series? th-cam.com/play/PLZyp9H25CboFg7tA0J3ksRf7gjOsrW1Ot.html
Thanx for such nice tutorial, 🔥🔥 really helping
This has to be one of the most helpful and useful videos you guys have created. Absolutely brilliant, thank you.
I'm glad you found it helpful DesignSoSimple 😊
This is hands down the best elementor page layout video ive watched so far. Well done
This video cleared up so much for me. I tried it out and was able to move 3 sections (1 mobile only) and 12 columns all into one! From 2.5+ seconds to 680ms. Thank you so much!
But it actually lowered my google page speed and gtmetrix mobile by 50%!
Brilliant. Very well explained. Great speed. Not to fast or too slow. Nice clear commentary. Keep them coming please Elementor.
Thanks for the feedback Just in time!
Thank you so much. I have a lot of layout changes to do
Your welcome Kazzem 😊. I'm happy we were able to help you build a better website 😎.
With every new section I think oh this is fine, but then he says lets use one column
Very usefull for beginners and for advanced web creators. I'll see all video. Thank you.
Thank you Cristian, I'm happy to hear that advanced web creators liked it as well 😊
Mind-blowing! 🤯
Why nobody teaches that?!
Thanks a lot! 💙
Wow what compliment Lincon 🤩!!!
Been building websites for 20 years.. This one small video convinced be to start using elementor. Cheers
Awesooooome
The part when you show the call-to-action widget, when I view it in mobile everything is squeezed together, please advise
Hi Batags, I recommend posting your question in the Elementor Community Facebook group. You'll be able to share more information about this issue, and get great advice from other web creators: facebook.com/groups/Elementors/permalink/3707554449370314/
Thank you for this tutorial! Looking forward to more 👍
Thanks Aiesha! Have you seen the whole playlist yet? th-cam.com/play/PLZyp9H25CboFg7tA0J3ksRf7gjOsrW1Ot.html
MY GOSH....I FEEL LIKE I CAN BE A PROFESSIONAL FROM THIS 22 minute tut!!!!
Thanx for such nice tutorial, 🔥🔥 really helping
Thank you for the nice comment Om!!!🤩
This video is just great: really clear and actionable insights as to how to make a much simpler layout with Elementor. I keep coming back to it when I am building new pages: thanks for the awesome content!
Thank you sooo much for this,
Beautiful man!!! already optimizing my website with this tips!!! Thanks a lot!
I'm glad it was useful Nubenegra
@@Elementor no, thank you man!
this is real gold
That's what we aim for Unreal 😉
If you fix column settings in PC version you will be optimized better
This is amazing. Just hwen I thought I had Elementor nailed and now you raise the game again. Thank you! 🙏🙌👍 Back to learning it is!
That's what I aim for! Thanks Darren 🤩.
On the hero section, I notice that you are using a Heading widget and a Text widget separately. As said throughout the video to use as few widgets as possible, is it better to use for ex. an Image Box/Icon Box/Call-to-Action widget and then remove the image/icon/button from the widget? Fewer widgets with an empty placeholder/container.
Good for desktop version but it doesn't works well on responsive version. While I try to increase or decrease the custom with (%) it doesn't work
I have the same problem. On desktop it works as described in the video. But on tablet and mobile it does not work. With a 4 column 25% layout on desktop I set 50% on tablet and 100% on mobile. But it does not change anything?
@@philippbraccini8333 Hi, try changing full width in mobile device. It will work.
Amazing channel it clarify many topics to work out on my UX strategies assignment 🎉🎉
When should I use PX and when relatrive sizes?
Padding = relative
Margin = PX
In mobile version always px?
Please Help.
after the update.3.5.1, if you use a call to action widget you don't optimize, you create your website slower. My google page speed result with widget 65/78, without, BUT with oooh boy steroids i have 93/99 i can understand why I delete 4 columns and 6 widget but have bad optimization
How can I get rid of white space at header?
Hi Anthony, for these kinds of questions, I recommend posting in the Elementor Community Facebook group. You'll be able to share more info and get great advice from other web creators: facebook.com/groups/Elementors/permalink/3707554449370314/
first test on network tab was not using second cache, and after optimzation it was test using cached site.
What about the responsive to mobile devices from your "optimal icon box"??
the most important...And mobile? because allways not pass the google metrics.. what we can do?
Top tutorial! sooo useful!! thanks! Just a quick question. How can I add subtitles to image boxes, for example? a subtitle that is in a different font and color? is it possible?
Could you share what's the advantage of using % for the padding vs using px or em/rem? And when do we use em/rem?
Wow elementor pro here 👍🏻
We aim to wow 😉
I have the hardest time loading elementor. I continue to get the toolbar panel with a spinning loading circle. It is very frustrating when I'm trying to follow along with my website. Any ideas?
I am very lucky to cross your video. I am just starting to make my web. This saved me loads of rework! Thank u thank u thank u
Hi - Me again - trying to implement these changes - however with the drop down in mobile - it drops down the entire section? Any fix or what am I missing? Many thanks - Heather
ohhhh my god! this should be the first thing shown to every elementor creator! I've gone years without knowing these. feels wasted. I can see from comments below that I'm not the only one.
I got a funny situation. I did as you said and removed more than 15 sections from the page and the result was much worse than it was at the beginning. How to explain it? Very strange situation 🤔
Great
Eu comprei esse curso, mas só consigo entrar nas aulas através do meu celular, estou a 6 dias tentando me escrever em algumas empresas tbm não consigo. Vou cancelar pois temos 7 dias pra fazer isso, cansei. 🥵🥵🥵😡😡😡
Great!
It appears Lighthouse is no longer available....
Hi how did you find out the exact negative value to position the menu (-60) thanks
I use the product slider and the different images makes it move about and I guess it affects this cumulative shift thing? Or whatever it is? I wonder if there might be a way to counter this?
I followed the video and redid my header, except on the mobile my site logo is super blurry. Can you tell me how to fix that?
Did not help as you need PRO to use the Call to Action widget and I needed to use a button with my text and image. Very disappointed.
Will there be an updated version of this now that Elementor is using containers in stead of sections and columns?
WOW
This one here is the most important tutorial on Elementor ever!
Great suggestion Random, you can give it directly to the development team here elementor.com/help/send-your-feature-request/ .
Will you do a video with the same subject but with flexbox?
