# Will loading so many widget code slow down my website, as I plan to use only 1 feature?

## 

- The Plus Addons for Elementor ships 120+ widgets across Free and Pro, but it only loads code for a widget that is actually enabled and placed on a page.
- The Plus Addons > Widgets includes Scan Unused Widgets and Disable Unused Widgets, which flags enabled widgets never placed on any page and turns them off in one step.
- Conditional loading and combined assets keep widget CSS/JS off pages where they are not used, and every widget bundles into two files total, one CSS and one JS, instead of one pair per widget.

The Plus Addons for Elementor ships 120+ widgets across Free and Pro, and a natural question is whether loading that many widgets slows your site down if you only use a handful of them.

**Short answer: no.** The plugin only loads code for a widget you've actually enabled and placed on a page - a disabled or unused widget adds nothing to your load time.

## Disable Widgets You Don't Use

If you enabled several widgets while exploring the plugin but only use a few in practice, disabling the rest keeps things tidy and avoids any needless admin-side overhead:

- Go to **The Plus Addons > Widgets**.- Click **Scan Unused Widgets** - this checks your actual page content and flags widgets that are enabled but never placed on any page.- Review the list, then click **Disable Unused Widgets** to turn them all off in one step.

## How the Plugin Keeps Load Time Down

- **Conditional loading:** a widget's CSS/JS only loads on pages where that widget is actually placed - not site-wide.- **Combined assets:** every widget you do use gets bundled into two files total (one CSS, one JS) instead of one pair per widget, cutting down on separate HTTP requests.- **One coding standard:** because every widget comes from the same codebase, there's no risk of the conflicting jQuery versions or clashing selectors you can get from mixing several single-purpose plugins.

## One Plugin vs Several Single-Purpose Plugins

If a feature you need already exists in The Plus Addons for Elementor, enabling it is usually lighter than installing a separate dedicated plugin for the same job - you avoid paying for and maintaining an extra plugin, and you avoid the coding-standard mismatches that come from combining plugins by different developers. With 120+ widgets covering listings, popups, forms, WooCommerce and more, most sites can build complex pages without reaching for a third-party plugin at all.
