Am I the only one who noticed that as soon as I enabled the 'Optimised Dom Output' option in settings, my 'Performance' within chrome tools and 'lighthouse' went down by about 20 points? I then disabled it, just to ensure' and ran again the report, sure enough, number went back to original. Does this have to do with the fact that I enabled it on an existing website and not before? A helpful explanation would be nice :-)
I when I enabled the Improved Asset Loading option, it really helped with page speed metrics BUT two important carousel widgets (image and testimonial) stopped working. So I had to disable the option. Is this something that will be addressed?
I think some of the features/ experiments no longer exist, i.e Optimised DOM Output, and Improved Asset Loading are not there. Are they now default features?
It's not built-in, like the CAPTCHA integrations, but instead, under the Elementor tab in WordPress, there's a "Custom Code" section. Here you can add your code to the Head, Body Start or Body End sections, and define the priority. (Custom Code is currently only available in the PRO version of Elementor)
@@makeabackup9819 Fantastic! And that's as "built-in" as I expected it to be, I'm currently using Header Footer Code Manager for this, so one less plugin is needed now! Thanks for the tip. Wonder how long this feature has been there, I've had Pro for over a year. :o
@@sarahheinemann651 Yeah, I can't remember when they added it. I've been using Astra Pro for so long and I use their "custom layout" which allows you to hook code into different sections of WordPress, otherwise, like you, I would have been using another plugin or hardcoding into functions.php file! Glad you found it and can kill off another plugin!!
