Improving Elementor Performance in JupiterX

Are you experiencing slow performance with Elementor on your JupiterX theme? Don't worry, we're here to help you speed things up. Let's tackle this step-by-step to enhance your website's performance.

Step 1: Increase WordPress Memory Limit

The WordPress Memory Limit by default is set to 40M, which might not be sufficient for Elementor's needs. Increasing this limit can significantly improve performance:

Step 2: Evaluate Server Configurations

If you're still facing issues after increasing the Memory Limit, the next step is to look into other server configurations that might be affecting performance:

Reach out to your web hosting provider and ask for monitoring assistance to pinpoint whether it's a CPU, memory, or database limitation causing the slowdown.
Confirm if features like GZIP output compression are enabled, as they can drastically reduce load times.

Step 3: Enable GZIP Output Compression

Many hosts don't enable GZIP by default, and it can have a big impact on page load speed. Here's how to enable it through your .htaccess file:

 <IfModule mod_deflate.c>
    AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/plain
    AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html
    AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/xml
    AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/css
    AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/json
    AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/xml
    AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/xhtml+xml
    AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/rss+xml
    AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/javascript
    AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-javascript
    AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/json
</IfModule>

<IfModule mod_substitute.c>
    SubstituteMaxLineLength 20M
</IfModule>

Step 4: Manage Conflicting Plugin Frameworks

Certain Elementor addons are poorly developed or incredibly bloated, causing significant consumption both on the server and in the browser. To identify the problematic addon, try deactivating plugins one by one.

Step 6: Upgrade PHP Version

Elementor and some of its add-ons may require PHP version 7.4+ for optimal performance:

Check your current PHP version and consider upgrading if it's below PHP 7.4( preferably PHP 8.2+).

With these steps, most performance issues with Elementor on JupiterX should see a marked improvement. Remember to test your website speed after each change to monitor how each adjustment affects your site's performance. If you still encounter difficulties, our support team is here to assist you.
