[01] Layout Optimization Best Practice 

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.

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 RU-vid 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.

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!

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

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.

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!

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.

If only I had seen this before rebuilding a 200-page website. Great information!

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!

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

MY GOSH....I FEEL LIKE I CAN BE A PROFESSIONAL FROM THIS 22 minute tut!!!!

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

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...

Been building websites for 20 years.. This one small video convinced be to start using elementor. Cheers

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

Best Elementor video I have ever seen. This is freaking amazing!!!

Watched this just before starting to make my website... couldn't be more thankful! Such a helpful video!!

Brilliant. Very well explained. Great speed. Not to fast or too slow. Nice clear commentary. Keep them coming please Elementor.

This is hands down the best Elementor optimization video I've seen. Thank you!

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.

Thanks a lot. I have been using Elementor for 3 years, but I learned many new things from this tutorial :)

Wow ... What an incredible learning resource--THANK YOU! This one is definitely being saved for future reference!

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

I’m guilty of column and inner section use. This has been most useful. Nice pacing, great examples and well explained. I appreciate this. Thank you.

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!

That's not only great but more than that... I have been using 3rd party plugin since a long for optimisation. That's so cool than any other. Thank you. Keep up the good work

This has to be one of the most helpful and useful videos you guys have created. Absolutely brilliant, thank you.

I had no idea the image box and call to action widgets were so flexible, awesome!

FINALLY!!! An actual tutorial that is helpful. This needs to the 101 video once you start with Elementor. Thank you for the presentation English man.

Did Adam see this? 😂. Thank you for this. So helpfull!

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.

Excellent. Just what we need. More like this please.

This is so important and needs to be watched by every Elementor user.

Well that was simple and smart. Thank you

The most important tutorail for elementor designers . Thank you ❤

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

Wow, that's great tutorial.

Just what I need... Excellent.

This one here is the most important tutorial on Elementor ever!

Priceless info and so great to know the motion effects (I’m all about these!) don’t affect the load times

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Lesson learned, before browsing dozens of videos, just go to the source and get right to it!

20:26 You are using "DESKTOP" to measure speed. Any reason not to use "MOBILE"?

Amazing video !!! Thanks !

Wow, so much great information in one video. Thank you so much !

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

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!

Thank you so much. I have a lot of layout changes to do

Very clearly and very useful! Great work! Thank you very much!

Ummmm...like...,.wowwww...this is great stuff...thank you.

This is great. I'd love to see more content like this from Elementor.

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)

Brilliant!

Great tutorial! Thank you!

The best tutorial i've seen.

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 video on elementor!!!

Thank you for this tutorial! Looking forward to more 👍

Thank you so much for this initiative.

Thank you sooo much for this,

Great video!

Very usefull for beginners and for advanced web creators. I'll see all video. Thank you.

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. With my experience I think it is very useful to always use globally the colours, typography and some sections well optimized. It is a great help to start like this.

This was very helpful. If this is the standard practice, why aren't the templates built this way?

Thanx for such nice tutorial, 🔥🔥 really helping

Great!

So helpful.

Very very Good !

Mind-blowing! 🤯 Why nobody teaches that?! Thanks a lot! 💙

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!

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.

This has definitely improved my websites

Simplesmente um vídeo perfeito! Muita coisa nova foi aprendida vendo esse vídeo e com certeza salvarei! Começarei a ensinar essas práticas no meu canal.

It is just like magic!!!

Great, it very helps me!

Great video. Please make more like this one.

Thank you it helped a lot

Fantastic! Thank you :)

Great video! I started using flexbox with the steroids for elementor but your video helps me see how I can achieve same results with absolute position and make page even more light weight.

best tutorial ever!

Thank you for making this video. This is the best ever useful video I found for elementor.

Loved this video! Thank you so much. I just wish you would have shown a more complicated footer.

Thank you. this was very helful

Beautiful man!!! already optimizing my website with this tips!!! Thanks a lot!

What a great video! You have answered so many questions in just one video. Thanks a lot.

Thank you for your tutorial

What an amazing video! Thank you for sharing…

Thank, this very great

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?

Great Tutorial! 👍

EXCELLENT TUTORIAL, Well presented and clear, concise, and to the point. THANK YOU, and WELL done, you are a major asset to the Elementor team!

Thank you so very much for this. It helped me tremendously.

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)

thank you so much

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"?

Dear Sir, Thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial. This will indeed help us in improving our website performance. Sir , please make a detailed video on PODS integration with Elementor and Elementor Pro to extend wordpress - create awesome Custom Post Types, Taxonomies and Custom Setting Pages with Pods and use them with Elementor and Elementor Pro. Please keep uploading such wonderful tutorials. With warm regards, Vivek Kumar

That was impressive.

Very helpful. Who knew.

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!

Amazing, we want more!

Thanks🥰
