Frequently Asked Questions

Why migrate from Elementor to Gutenberg blocks?

Removing Elementor eliminates 200-500KB of CSS/JS per page, dramatically improving Core Web Vitals scores. Native blocks load faster, are maintained by WordPress core, and integrate with Full Site Editing. You also eliminate the Elementor license cost.

Will my pages look the same after migration?

Nivo preserves layouts, colors, typography, and spacing as closely as possible. Some Elementor-specific animations and effects may need manual recreation. Each page produces a before/after comparison for review.

How long does the migration take?

Most sites complete in 15 to 30 minutes depending on the number of Elementor-built pages. Each page is converted individually, and complex layouts with many widgets take longer to map to block equivalents.

What about Elementor Pro features?

Elementor Pro features like forms, popups, and theme builder templates are mapped to free or lightweight alternatives. Contact Form 7 or WPForms replace Elementor forms. Theme builder templates become block template parts.

Can I migrate one page at a time?

Yes. Nivo supports incremental migration, converting individual pages from Elementor to blocks while leaving others unchanged. This lets you validate each conversion before proceeding.
