Slow loading widget panel since v2.5 upgrade #7308

Prerequisites

  • I have searched for similar issues in both open and closed tickets and cannot find a duplicate.
  • The issue still exists against the latest stable version of Elementor.

Description

Since upgrading E + E Pro to 2.5 I have noticed a bit of slowness with the widget panel, it takes about 25-30 seconds for the panel to activate. Elementor itself loads faster though (presumably because some of the loading has been offloaded to this stage). It's more of a nuisance when creating a brand new page, while waiting to drag a new element onto the page.

Steps to reproduce

  1. New page & fire up elementor
  2. Wait for elementor to load
  3. Wait for sidebar widget panel to load

Isolating the problem

  • This bug happens with only Elementor plugin active (and Elementor Pro).
  • This bug happens with a default WordPress theme active.
  • I can reproduce this bug consistently using the steps above.
