Make your Divi site fast
Divi ships its own performance options, but they interact with caching plugins in ways that aren't obvious. Maki detects Divi, measures what's really slowing your pages and gives you fixes that work with the Divi Builder.
What usually slows down Divi sites
Large DOM from nested modules
Divi rows and modules wrap content in several layers. Long pages built with many modules routinely exceed Lighthouse's DOM size threshold.
Performance options conflict with plugins
Divi's Critical CSS and Defer jQuery can double up with WP Rocket or Perfmatters. Use one tool per job.
Unoptimized images in sliders
Full-width sliders often load several large images up front, hurting LCP on mobile.
Step-by-step fixes
The fixes Maki most often recommends on Divi sites.
Divi speed FAQ
Should I use Divi's performance settings or a plugin?
Either can work. Avoid enabling the same optimization in both places (for example Critical CSS in Divi and in WP Rocket), which can cause broken layouts or no gain.
