Optimize the speed of an Elementor site: settings, images, cache, CSS

The loading speed of a site is a key factor for SEO and user experience. With Elementor, a few simple adjustments can significantly improve performance.

1. Reduce the size of the images
   Compress your images with tools like TinyPNG or ShortPixel before uploading them.
2. Enable Elementor optimization
   In Elementor > Settings > Experiments, activate the options like « Optimizing CSS files“ and ”Asynchronous Loading ».
3. Using a cache plugin
   Install a plugin like WP Rocket, LiteSpeed Cache or W3 Total Cache to generate static pages.
4. Load fonts locally
   Avoid depending on Google Fonts for each upload by hosting them locally.
5. Continuously test and improve
   Use PageSpeed Insights or GTmetrix to detect weak points and correct them.

Conclusion
A fast website improves SEO, reduces the bounce rate and increases conversions.
