Fix or rebuild?

Questions
Why is Elementor so slow?
Elementor adds a lot of wrapper elements, CSS and JavaScript, and add-on packs add more. It can be made faster, but there's a ceiling.
Can you speed up my site without changing the design?
Yes. The clinic site above went from 58 to 94 on mobile with the same design.
Do I have to move to Bricks?
No. I'll fix what you have if that's enough. Bricks is an option, not a requirement.
Will speed help my SEO?
It helps with Core Web Vitals and keeps visitors on the page. It's one factor among many, not a magic switch.
How quickly can you start?
Usually within a few days of agreeing the scope.
