    I am interested in utilizing Elementor-based builders, which provide me with the flexibility to design single product pages according to my preferences. While Customizer is a useful tool, it does have its limitations.

    However, I have a question for dear Xstore team – what is your experience with performance? Which option would yield faster results – Elementor or Customizer-based templates? How much speed would I potentially sacrifice if I were to use Elementor for the header, footer, and single product page?
    I am striving for every millisecond on page load and I must admit, it is a challenging task and I know that Elementor is not the fastest builder on the planet but on the other hand, I am facing some constraints with Customizer.

    PS:
    Of course, I do not expect precise measurements, but I am certain that you have valuable insights from developing these distinct features.

    Hello, Krzysztof,

    Thank you for reaching out to us.

    If you plan to use Elementor for building your website pages, we highly recommend using it for the header and footer as well. This approach will enhance the loading speed by approximately 10%, as a single builder loads faster than two separate ones.

    Currently, we advise using customizer builders only when working with WPBakery Page Builder, as it does not include built-in header and footer builders.

    Best regards,
    8Theme Team
