Are there any problems when using the page builder on Wordpress?

Question

Search Engine Optimization

Now a large number of sites use page builders. This is quite convenient, although for the right programmers it is evil. I would like to know how you feel about the designers? Are there problems with SEO? How does it affect performance?

Answer 1

You need to understand that the more whistles are crammed into the constructor, the scarier the code is and the slower everything works.
Bad in terms of SEO, even worse in terms of speed. However, you can nagovnokodit without constructors.
I went to the Elementor website here ... Well, such a nesting is normal. Everything is working well for us.
It physically hurts me to look at this.

All this stuff is loaded on medium phones for 15 seconds. Yeah okay, yeah. Google has taken this "middle device" more modern with the introduction of Web Vitals.

There is a niche for such things, somewhere at the level of Tilda. Landos for a stall to test a niche is quite for itself.

Answer 2

We take the most popular builder - elementor.
And we get that everything is bad. Once it is worth reading a series of articles about him under the heading: "Elementor - popular as a cart. But it also rides"
- search on Google.

Answer 3

Stereotypes. Regarding Elementor - coupled with the use of the right plugins, in some works it reached 72/92 GPSI and 99/92 GTMetrix. But out of the box it works badly.
But this "correct encoders" will not convince. True frontend is written in a notepad.
And now the most interesting question - and how does all this really affect the positions? There was an experience of pulling out the treble and midrange in the top 1 of Google and the top 3 of Yandex store from scratch with the g *** nocode of the weighted OpenCart. So it was scary to open the Chrome console there.
So these are all stereotypes. In fact, only practical testing can tell.

Answer 4

Roughly speaking, Google does not care what the site is made on, at least do everything on one JS, it will swallow it and it will be possible to promote it.
Now among customers there is more and more a trend that is needed in Google PageSpeed ​​for the site to be in the green zone, otherwise the site will be very poorly promoted in the search engine. This service gives RECOMMENDATIONS, not RULES that must be sacredly observed! By following these recommendations, you can reduce the display time of content, because the main task is to delay and interest the user in a product / service. And as you know, there are different users, some can wait a minute, while others will close the tab if no content is displayed within 3 seconds.
Designers have both their charm and their disgust. A good theme and builder can give a good result in terms of HTML code semantics. And such a sandwich will move forward perfectly and you will not know grief. But the reverse medal of this will be that there will be a lot of extra code and a lot of requests for styles and js. If you make the same site handles, then its total weight will be much less and plus it will be easier for the browser to draw the site, which in turn reduces the load on the device. For example, identical sites made on the constructor will weigh 150kb (excluding pictures, videos and other heavy files), and made by hand will weigh 50kb.
If you need to quickly make a site on your knee in 10 minutes, feel free to use the constructor.

Answer 5

Overdone shitty code. Actually, as in any similar universal combines.
