Elementor website optimised from 8s to 1.8s loading time
Drastic performance improvement for an Elementor website without redesign.
Van den Berg Makelaardij · 3 weeks
The challenge
Van den Berg Makelaardij had a beautiful Elementor website that took 8 seconds to load. The website lost visitors and scored poorly in Google. A complete redesign was not feasible budget-wise, so they looked for optimisation without changing the design.
Our approach
In-depth performance analysis with Lighthouse, WebPageTest and GTmetrix
Identification of 47 render-blocking JavaScript files and 23 unused CSS files
Implementation of asset cleanup: removing unused Elementor widgets and scripts
JavaScript optimisation: defer, async, and conditional loading per page
Critical CSS generation for above-the-fold content
Image optimisation: WebP conversion, responsive images, lazy loading
Hosting migration to LiteSpeed with advanced caching
Results
"We thought we had to rebuild our website, but WP Maintainer optimised it without changing a single pixel. The speed is now phenomenal."
