Questions
Frequently asked
Should I use Elementor or a custom theme?
Page builders are quick to start and slow forever after. For sites that matter commercially we recommend a custom theme.
Can you fix a slow existing WordPress site?
Usually. Most slowness comes from overlapping plugins and unoptimised images, both of which are fixable.
