Elementor Cloud Review, Features, and Pricing | Is It really Fast as they Claim?

Why Elementor have to Launch Elementor Cloud?

The main story begins with the WordPress 5.0 release on 6 Dec 2018, which integrated Gutenberg Block editor in WordPress making it the default post editor. At that time there was nothing to fear about it but in 2020 when Gutenberg start getting more features and in the final release of version 9.5 on 2 December 2020, Gutenberg gets a feature called full site editing and Global styles.

Now with these features, normal blog sites, and even complex designs can be created easily using Gutenberg block editor.

Google's Core Web Vital also has a major role in making Gutenberg famous and giving a negative impact on the page builder community. Core Web Vitals are simply a performance and page experience matric that google announced to be considered for SEO and Ranking.

This eventually means, If your website is slow, it's directly get affected in SERP ranking. Speed was a factor in SEO before but indirectly and that was not in google algorithm this time it was mentioned to be rolled out with algorithm update and that's why people were scared.

After that WordPress started promoting Gutenberg by saying fastest and easiest builder and it was the right claim. Many WordPress agencies have launched Gutenberg Addon to make it more flexible and featured.

Now many website owners start feeling that they don't need heavy page builders because of which many bloggers start switching to Block editor from page builders and even start promoting it.

This has created a panic among Page Builder Agencies because there was no reason for users to choose Page Builder if it has a bad effect on websites. Because everyone knows that page builders have heavy CSS and JavaScript that need to be loaded during site loading and in many cases, it creates Render Blocking, LCP and Layout Shift which is bad for Core Web Vitals.

Now from here let's begin Elementor Cloud Journey Began

Elementor Cloud Features

Elementor Cloud is said to have better performance in less investment. I am still testing the performance and speed of Elementor Cloud and so far the speed is impressive but I will let you guys know how it performs in-depth in my upcoming videos on youtube.

But other than speed here is the list of what else is being offered with this Cloud Bundle.

1. Fully Hosted By Elementor

Unlike a self-hosted WordPress website, where you have to buy hosting separately and need to manage things yourself like SSL, Backup, Security things, and other technical issues that can affect your website loading and uptime.

Elementor Cloud-hosted environment is claimed to provide best out of best performance possibility with Elementor page builder. They are going to use Google Cloud Servers to host Elementor Cloud Bundles and they have also mentioned that they are going to handle all server tweakings, which means they will optimize it as per Elementor and User requirements without giving you any backend access to the server.

2. WordPress Preinstalled

It obviously makes sense because, If we don't have access to our server, How we can install WordPress on it so they are providing the Pre-Installed latest WordPress on their managed cloud servers. So, It's good for both technical and non-techie people.

This installation will support third-party plugins to further increase the feature of the platform but all plugins will not be supported. Here is a list of the officially unsupported plugin in the Elementor Cloud Bundle. These plugins are not allowed to be installed on Elementor Cloud Websites.

3. Elementor Pro Access Included

This is the second core feature of the Elementor Cloud platform where you will get Access to Elementor Pro features, templates, and widgets including theme builder and Hello theme absolutely for free without any additional charges.

4. Custom Domain with FREE SSL

It doesn't make any sense to purchase this plan if there is no option to add Custom domains and hence they have it. Along with that, you will get FREE SSL for all your websites that you will have on the Elementor cloud platform. But currently, you can have only 1 website per account.

5. Daily Backup

Daily backup is a feature that even professional developers need, so in this plan, you will get a daily backup and one-click restore features to make your website development experience like chopping butter.

Elementor Cloud Review

According to the official website, the standard Elementor Cloud plan will have the following features:-

• Google Cloud Server

• 100GB Bandwidth
• Can easily Handle 100k Monthly visitors

These server configurations make Elementor cloud worth trying and seem promising in terms of performance.
