yes it is worrying but not high hit sites, companies are sending control requests on the backend to prevent the use of nulled themes. There are many server requests to the back side in new versions of elementor. This slows the site down a lot. Currently, elementor 3.4 below version active usage is 22.4% .. in the old version its size is 2.3mb but in the new version it is 6.8mb .... i tested the wocommerce + elementor +astra site backend speed...elementor opens the page in 1.4 seconds in the old version. in the new version it opens in 2.3 seconds..I tested it without using cache
security by obscurity.
running an outdated, vulnrability-ridden software just because it is "bigger and slower" ? and on a live, production ecommerce site that is processing people's money?
god, just please - don't.
elementor adds a lot of overhead, that's for sure. but you're running an ecommerce site... ramp up the resources, get a decent host, and most of all - optimize optimize optimize. everything from server-side to client-side and frontend.
in ecommerce, every 500ms of page load affects conversion rates, and consequently - your revenue.
on a personal note, I would just buy the plugin for production use over an ecommerce website.
this business is unforgiving to those who cheap out on their bread and butter.
