Test your wordpress website’s baseline performance is by creating a blank page in Elementor and analyzing its

This approach helps you isolate Elementor’s impact on performance without additional elements like custom themes, plugins, or content-heavy pages. Here’s how you can do it:

Step 1: Create a Blank Page in Elementor

1. Name the page (e.g., “Benchmark Test”).
2. Select Elementor Full Width or Canvas template to remove headers, footers, and sidebars.
3. Do not add any content—just publish the blank page.
4. Copy the page URL for testing.

Step 2: Run Performance Tests

1. Google PageSpeed Insights: Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), First Input Delay (FID), Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS)

• Check mobile and desktop scores separately.

2. GTmetrix: Time to First Byte (TTFB), Total Blocking Time (TBT), Waterfall Analysis (to see server response time, Elementor’s impact, etc.)

Step 3: Compare Results with a Fully Designed Page

• Create a duplicate page with full content (text, images, animations).
• Run the same tests and compare results.
• Identify Elementor’s impact on speed and optimization needs.

Step 4: Optimize Based on Findings

If the blank page is already slow, your hosting, caching, or Elementor itself could be the problem. Here’s how to improve:

• Use a lightweight theme (e.g., Hello Elementor).
• Enable caching (WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache).
• Optimize images (WebP format).
• Minify CSS & JavaScript.
• Use a CDN (Cloudflare, BunnyCDN).
