What ElementsKit does
An Elementor add-on pack with mega menu, header and footer builder and dozens of extra widgets.
It sits in the page builder part of a WordPress stack and is sold by Wpmet on a freemium basis. We recommend it in our page builder guides because it does that one job well without asking you to rebuild the rest of the site around it.
Every plugin adds work to a page request, so treat this as a decision with a cost. Record a speed test before you install it and run the same test afterwards, on the same page, so you know exactly what it charged you.

Where ElementsKit ranks elsewhere
ElementsKit does not appear in the published "best of" lists we track from WPBeginner, TechRadar, Kinsta, Themeisle and similar sites. That is not a mark against it - those roundups are short and skew towards the biggest names.
