Speed is a feature

- Compress and resize images before uploading
- Avoid dozens of heavy plugins
- Use a caching plugin (e.g. LiteSpeed Cache or WP Rocket)
Elementor-specific tips
- Turn on Elementor's performance features where available
- Use CSS Print Method = External file
- Defer non-critical scripts
- Limit the number of entrance animations
- Load Google Fonts locally or use system fonts for speed
Measure
Test with PageSpeed Insights and aim for a good mobile score. Then re-test after changes.
