    Hello!

    First of all we are very happy with Woodmart and the all the nice features it has.
    Somehow Iam facing a weird issue regarding loading times when I use Elementor Builder to build Mega Menu and Category Menu on Desktop Viewport.

    It doubles up the loading time for no reason.

    Please watch this Video with Sound to understand what I mean:

    Hello,

    Please, update the theme to the latest version, and disable all plugins that are not related to our theme so we can check.

    Note that your server performance anyway is not good enough. Pages should be loaded in less than 1s. But let us first check the HTML blocks issue.

    Kind Regards

    Hello Artem,

    I just updated Theme and Core Plugin to latest version. As already mentioned in the Video, no 3rd Party Plugins except Elementor & WooCommerce are enabled.

    Server Performance for uncached Site with this amount of Content is not bad. If page is cached it’s around 480ms.

    Please start with Loading-Time Issues if using HTML-Blocks as Mega Menus and later investigate into that disappearing Product Grid in Mega Menu.

    Thank you and kind regards!

    Hello,

    As we can see, it is much faster now https://gyazo.com/db731b64259c607ca3a214c29b7a597b

    Elementor by itself has a performance issue with custom post types loaded on a single page. You can test it by adding the same number of Elementor Templates instead of HTML blocks somewhere on your website.

    Note that the cached page should be loaded in approximately ~100ms. It means that your server is at least 3-5x slower than a regular web server. You can read our optimization article and check the response time for the cheapest hosting available on Cloudways.

    Kind Regards

    Hi Artem,

    no, it’s not faster after update. Loading Time is still the same.
    I’ve never heard about this issue with Elementor and CPT. Before we changed to Woodmart we used Elessi which has basicly a similar structure of using blocks with custom post type and Elementor. And loading Times were blazing fast.

    So, if Elementor would have trouble with loading times there might be a GitHub-Topic or anything which i could not find. But feel free to provide Topic-Link if this a common issue.

    I double checked with the hosting company and they confirmed that the Server is blazing fast with TTFB below 60MS. It’s a premium german hosting company which is trusted by well-known companies.

    And If I just deactivate Woodmart Theme and keep all Plugins active and also keep Elementor Content the site is super fast.

    So there must be a problem with Woodmart Theme which slows down the page so massive.

    I tried to use the original Elementor Templates by embedding the shortcode into your HTML-Blocks so I can use it for Navigation. It changes nothing at all.

    Could you please help here further?

    Kind regards,
    Daniel

    Hello,

    Please create and display the same number of Elementor templates on some page. Keep the header without HTML blocks while testing this.

    Kind Regards

    Thread can be closed.

    Solved the issue by creating a low usage of elementor navigation.
