Elementor 3.4 Supercharges Performance And Adds Custom Breakpoints, Enabling The Highest Standards For Web Creators

By AIT News Desk On Aug 18, 2021

Version 3.4 builds upon existing improvements to performance with dramatically reduced page loading scores, streamlined key processes and custom breakpoints

Elementor, the leading open source website builder platform behind more than 8 million websites, announced the release of Elementor 3.4. The version is part of continued efforts to propel performance standards forward with momentum in every release, furthering Elementor’s mission to empower web creators and enable them to build websites to the highest standards.

Versions released in 2021, included performance highlights, such as improved asset loading and accessibility, smaller asset files, a conditionally loaded lightbox, reduced extra DOM Elements, conditional asset loading, style in line loading and faster page load by reducing the amount of unused JS and CSS generated.

Building upon these key offerings, the new version offers reduced JS asset file sizes through dropping support to old browsers with less code being loaded – up to 110 KB less on each page load. Plus, this version offers an improved Font Awesome SVG icons mechanism along with up to 6 additional custom breakpoints. Underlying performance was boosted as part of the focused effort to introduce customised breakpoints without compromising on code, speed or reliability.
