<b>Addon bloat: the real Elementor performance killer</b>
People blame Elementor for slowness when the culprit is the four addon packs stacked on top — Essential Addons, Premium Addons, Happy Addons, ElementsKit all loading at once.

Each pack registers dozens of widgets and often loads its full CSS/JS regardless of what you use. Two overlapping packs can add 200KB+ for two widgets you actually placed.

Pros (addon packs):
— Fill genuine gaps — advanced sliders, tables, integrations
Cons:
— Most load everything, not just used widgets
— Overlapping packs duplicate functionality and weight

Verdict: pick one addon pack, audit its asset-loading settings, and delete the rest.

Best for: anyone whose Elementor site got slow over time — start the diagnosis at the addon layer, not the core builder.
