Reviews
what people actually sayElementsKit is a well-regarded Elementor addon with a broad feature set and responsive support, but it carries a serious and recurring security concern around frequent XSS vulnerabilities that undermines trust for some users.
What people like
- +Wide range of widgets and features that simplify page building×4
- +Works well with Elementor and integrates smoothly into workflows×3
- +Responsive and helpful developer support team×2
- +Mega menu implementation is considered relatively lightweight for an addon
Common complaints
- −Recurring, high-frequency security vulnerabilities (Stored XSS) with a reactive rather than preventative fix approach
- −No built-in option to disable unused widgets, causing unnecessary page slowdown when all features are enabled
- −Adds extra code overhead, with some impact on page speed×2
- −Large feature set has a learning curve and takes time to explore×2
