Optimize theme

. Disable Gutenberg assets: Usually you can use gutenberg blocks on blog and post pages. So disable them in rest pages to improvement page loading.

• Open functions.php in your-site/wp-content/themes/helen-child

• Then add this following code:

function zill_child_disable_gutenberg_wp_enqueue_scripts() {
  if( ! is_singular('post') ) {
     wp_dequeue_style('wp-block-library');
     wp_dequeue_style('wp-block-library-theme');
     wp_dequeue_style('wc-blocks-style');
  }
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'zill_child_disable_gutenberg_wp_enqueue_scripts', 100);

3. Disable WordPress global style: https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/36834

• Open functions.php in your-site/wp-content/themes/helen-child

• Then add this following code:

function zill_child_remove_wp_global_styles() {
     remove_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'wp_enqueue_global_styles' );
     remove_action( 'wp_body_open', 'wp_global_styles_render_svg_filters' );
}
add_action( 'init', 'zill_child_remove_wp_global_styles' );

Config Elementor settings to get best performance

1. Disable Font Awesome 4 Support

New websites don’t need support old Font Awesome version. So choose ‘No’ to disable it then reduce some assets loading for your website.

2. Enable Improved Asset Loading

The “Improved Asset Loading” mode reduces the amount of code that is loaded on the page by default
