Once done, publish and test your form. ✅

Step 4: Optimizing the Header & Footer

5. Updating the Header

Your website header includes the navigation menu, logo, and CTA button.

✔ Adjust the layout and add the logo or site name based on your preference.

For web creators, performance isn’t just nice-to-have – it’s the heart of the product. That’s why agencies and professionals who build sites for clients are turning to Elementor Host. Built with Google Cloud, Elementor Host delivers websites that are not only beautiful, but fast, scalable, and reliable. The result? Better client satisfaction, stronger performance metrics, and more repeat business

Why Site Performance Matters for Your Clients

Website performance plays a critical role in how users experience a site – and how well that site performs in search rankings, engagement, and conversions. For agencies and professionals delivering sites to clients, performance is not just technical – it’s part of the business value you offer.

While performance is often equated with “speed,” the industry has evolved to assess it through a broader, user-centric lens. Google’s Core Web Vitals are now widely adopted as the standard for real-world web performance. They focus on:

• Loading speed – Largest Contentful Paint (LCP): Measures the time it takes for the largest visible element on the page to render.
  → LCP under 2.5 seconds is considered good.
  
• Interactivity – First Input Delay (FID): Measures the delay between a user interaction (like a click) and the browser’s response.
  → FID under 100ms is considered good.
  
• Visual stability – Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS): Measures how much the layout shifts unexpectedly as the page loads.
  → CLS under 0.1 is considered good.

Elementor Host outperforms major WordPress hosting providers when it comes to real-world performance. As of April 2025, 60% of Elementor-hosted websites achieved “Good” Core Web Vitals scores, ranking #1 across all measured WordPress hosts in the independent Core Web Vitals report.

In addition, another critical metric is Time to First Byte (TTFB): The time it takes for a browser to receive the first byte of page content from the server. It directly affects perceived speed and SEO performance. Elementor Host, powered by Google Cloud’s compute-optimized C2 machines, reduced average TTFB by 72%.

For agencies, this means:

• Faster-loading websites that improve user experience and reduce bounce rates
• Better SEO outcomes through stronger technical performance
• Fewer client escalations due to lag or downtime

The Google Cloud Advantage: Speed, Scale, and reliability

Focusing on performance, Elementor Host was built on Google Cloud’s infrastructure from day 1, which gives agencies an edge when it comes to delivering reliable, high-performance sites for clients.

• Auto-scaling built in: Using Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) and Infrastructure as Code, Elementor Host adjusts to traffic surges automatically – no manual upgrades or downtime worries.
• Blazing-fast loading times: Leveraging compute-optimized C2 machines, we reduced Time To First Byte (TTFB) by 72%, improving user experience and SEO across the board.
• Reliability and security: With enterprise-grade infrastructure from Google Cloud, your clients’ businesses are always protected.
