Slow loading widget panel since v2.5 upgrade
drawcard opened this issue · 2 comments
Prerequisites
- I have searched for similar issues in both open and closed tickets and cannot find a duplicate.
- The issue still exists against the latest stable version of Elementor.
Description
Since upgrading E + E Pro to 2.5 I have noticed a bit of slowness with the widget panel, it takes about 25-30 seconds for the panel to activate. Elementor itself loads faster though (presumably because some of the loading has been offloaded to this stage). It's more of a nuisance when creating a brand new page, while waiting to drag a new element onto the page.
Steps to reproduce
- New page & fire up elementor
- Wait for elementor to load
- Wait for sidebar widget panel to load
Isolating the problem
- This bug happens with only Elementor plugin active (and Elementor Pro).
- This bug happens with a default WordPress theme active.
- I can reproduce this bug consistently using the steps above.

We had same issue in our GoDaddy and SiteGround servers. We enabled the Gzip via .htaccess
(https://monosnap.com/file/9umgCNEWfjJQhfIZih3EWGavRmkza6). It may help you.
Consider that Gzip module was active but it wasn't doing anything by default. After the following codes it loads faster.
<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

I was having problems with low loading speed widget on Elementor and now the website is working perfectly. Thanks for this!
