ElementsBoost – Elementor Page Speed & Performance Optimizer

Disgrifiad

ElementsBoost is a WordPress performance plugin built specifically to help speed up Elementor websites.

Elementor pages can load CSS, JavaScript, fonts, icons, animations, sliders, and addon assets that are not needed everywhere. ElementsBoost helps you find that extra weight and apply practical improvements without editing code.

Version 2.0 introduces a major BuraqOptimizer experience built around verified fixes with safe undo. Buraq scans the current public page, explains what it found inside the Elementor editor, highlights matching elements with X-Ray, and verifies supported actions against fresh page output before showing them as completed. Supported setting and content changes retain scoped recovery paths so you can test, verify, and reverse eligible changes without guessing.

Meet BuraqOptimizer

BuraqOptimizer is your Elementor performance assistant inside the editor.

  • Scan the public version of the page you are editing
  • Review page-specific performance, content, image, and structure findings
  • See critical, warning, polish, and working states in one panel
  • Use X-Ray to locate matching Elementor elements visually
  • Apply supported one-click actions and rescan for confirmation
  • Review theoretical potential separately from verified results
  • Apply supported content actions with scoped undo; Pro Deep Scan adds eligible heading and meta-description actions
  • See an Elementor Optimization Score that complements Google PageSpeed Insights

Buraq does not mark a supported action successful just because a switch was enabled. When a rendered result can be checked, it rescans the public page and reports what it can confirm.

Works with your existing cache plugin

ElementsBoost does not replace a full-page cache or CDN. It complements cache plugins by reducing selected Elementor and WordPress frontend work before the result is cached.

External Services

Google Fonts

When Self-host Google Fonts is enabled, ElementsBoost downloads CSS and font files from fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com, stores them locally, and serves the local files later.

  • Privacy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

Optional ElementsBoost Diagnostics

When an administrator enables Diagnostics, the plugin sends one diagnostic report immediately and then weekly to https://elementsboost.com/wp-json/elementsboost-telemetry/v1/collect. The payload is restricted to WordPress, Elementor, PHP and plugin versions; theme name; locale and multisite status; active-plugin, Elementor-page, disabled-widget, scan, issue, image, conflict and dequeue-rule counts; the installation date and age; the on/off state of documented ElementsBoost controls; and a persistent random installation UUID. The UUID is generated locally, is not derived from the site URL, and is removed when the plugin is uninstalled. The JSON payload does not include the site URL, page URLs, page content, plugin names, WordPress usernames, or email addresses. Diagnostics is off by default.

ElementsBoost Benchmarks

The dashboard can retrieve aggregated benchmarks from https://elementsboost.com/wp-json/elementsboost-telemetry/v1/benchmarks. The request sends no site or user data and is cached for six hours.

Compatibility Intelligence Feed

When compatibility alerts are enabled, the plugin downloads a curated feed from https://elementsboost.com/wp-json/elementsboost-intel/v1/intelligence-feed and refreshes the local copy weekly. The fixed feed URL has no site or user data in its query string or request body. Disabling compatibility alerts unschedules feed requests and suppresses plugin-activation compatibility notices.

Google PageSpeed Insights

When an authorized user runs an on-demand test in Free or a benchmark in Pro, the selected public page URL is sent to Google PageSpeed Insights. Free stores the latest result locally. Pro adds history, comparisons, scheduled monitoring, and support for a site-owner API key. Google quotas and policies apply.

Will ElementsBoost automatically make every Elementor website faster?

ElementsBoost can reduce selected frontend assets and resolve supported page findings, but results depend on the theme, hosting, design, plugins, images, cache configuration, and which assets the page genuinely needs. Use Buraq, visual review, and PageSpeed testing together.

What does “verified” mean in BuraqOptimizer?

For actions with a measurable rendered result, Buraq fetches a fresh public-page render and checks for the expected change. If it cannot confirm the result, it keeps the action in a review or unverified state instead of awarding it as completed.

Can I undo Buraq actions?

Supported content actions create a scoped undo record. Buraq checks that the value has not been changed later before restoring it, helping protect newer manual edits. Settings History is available for optimization settings.

Does the image width and height fix cover every image?

It covers eligible rendered image tags when WordPress can resolve local Media Library dimensions. External images, CSS backgrounds, iframes, embeds, and images injected later by JavaScript may require manual work.

2.0.4

This Test Mode and product-clarity patch keeps supported frontend performance changes out of visitor requests while an administrator previews them, and makes safety and privacy descriptions match the shipped behavior.

  • Test Mode now keeps disabled Elementor widgets and Recent Comments asset cleanup out of visitor requests while retaining the administrator preview.
  • Test Mode notices now distinguish administrator-only frontend performance changes from request-wide security controls.
  • Diagnostics, compatibility-feed, and Settings History descriptions now state their actual cadence, opt-out behavior, retention, and restoration scope.

2.0.3

This visual and product-truth release restores readable engine cards, makes Test Mode cover standalone font and image helpers, and aligns Free/Pro claims with the shipped features.

  • Engine names, descriptions, and feature lists now meet readable contrast on the dark engine cards.
  • Test Mode now prevents self-hosted-font, eligible image-dimension, and lazy-loading helper changes from reaching visitors while an administrator tests them.
  • Dashboard and directory copy now identify Free Quick Fix with undo, Free on-demand PageSpeed tests, Free add-on detection, and Pro Deep Scan boundaries accurately.
  • The PageSpeed progress message now describes mobile emulation and Lighthouse lab metrics instead of a real device or field Core Web Vitals.

2.0.2

This security and reliability release makes settings changes consistent, removes license-based score distortion, and strengthens scheduled scans and remote-data handling.

  • Free and Pro now show the same measured optimization score; legacy capped cache values are restored from their stored measurements.
  • Settings saves, toggles, imports, resets, snapshot restores, onboarding changes, and auto-reverts share verified writes, cache invalidation, safety hooks, and history behavior.
  • Legacy scan history is reconciled without discarding rows, current Pro diagnostics remain compatible, and removing Free preserves separately owned Pro data.
  • Scheduled scans use resumable batches and cover every eligible Elementor page instead of silently stopping at the first 100.
  • PageSpeed, image, CLS, LCP, RUM, font-download, and public-page requests receive stricter authorization, target, replay, payload, redirect, and response validation.
  • Compatibility-alert opt-out, diagnostics delivery status, usage-map overflow handling, deactivation, and multisite uninstall cleanup are more reliable.
  • Dashboard onboarding, responsive layout, snapshot controls, page-structure estimates, product claims, and Google Fonts connection-hint labels are clearer and more accurate.

2.0.1

This reliability update makes ElementsBoost reporting and scanning clearer, safer, and more accurate.

  • Verified savings remain separate from theoretical potential throughout the dashboard.
  • The individual page scanner reliably displays the selected page title and full asset-weight breakdown.
  • Dashboard controls keep their visible state synchronized with the saved WordPress setting.
  • Page comparison and scanner output receive additional administrator-interface security hardening.
  • External benchmark responses are validated more strictly before being displayed.
  • BuraqOptimizer and X-Ray were verified against current Elementor editor output.

2.0.0

Our biggest ElementsBoost update yet, built around BuraqOptimizer, visible evidence, safer actions, and a clearer Elementor performance workflow.

  • Buraq now scans the current public page and refreshes its findings when Elementor opens or saves.
  • Supported actions confirm their rendered result before appearing completed.
  • X-Ray now has reliable Show and Hide controls and avoids highlighting already-resolved images.
  • Image conversion reporting separates real delivery confirmation from theoretical potential.
  • Eligible Elementor and widget images receive more reliable width and height support.
  • Meta descriptions, alt-text batches, image batches, and supported content actions have safer scoped undo.
  • Savings reporting clearly separates verified reductions from estimates.
  • Auto-Revert, RUM, XML-RPC controls, and administrator output received a major reliability and security update.
  • Elementor recommendations are more context-aware, reducing common image, font, video, and template false positives.
  • Dashboard findings, action messages, and the Pro upgrade path are easier to understand.
