  1. CSS Print Method: Choose if your CSS will be included as an independent stylesheet (recommended) or on each page
  2. Switch Editor Loader Method: In cases of server configuration conflicts, enable this option*
  3. Editing Handles: Show or hide editing handles when hovering over the element’s edit button
  4. Enable Unfiltered File Uploads: Enable or disable the ability to upload SVG, JSON, and other unfiltered files. Please note! Allowing uploads of any files (SVG and JSON included) is a potential security risk. Elementor will try to sanitize the unfiltered files, removing potential malicious code and scripts, however, we recommend you only enable this feature if you understand the security risks involved.
  5. Optimized DOM Output: Select Enable to use the optimized DOM output, which removes several HTML wrappers from output. By default, this is only enabled on new sites created with Elementor 3.0+. Sites upgraded to 3.0 from a previous version should be set to Disable by default to avoid causing site layouts breaking.
  6. Load Font Awesome 4 Support: Choose Yes or No. Font Awesome 4 support script (shim.js) is a script that makes sure all previously selected Font Awesome 4 icons are displayed correctly while using Font Awesome 5 library.

* Switch Editor Loader Method is useful in solving the “err_content_decoding_failed” and err_empty_response” issues that sometimes occur. Enabling this option helps users running sites on servers with low resources which have difficulty reading long JSON code. When enabled, the tool splits the lines so that these servers can read the JSON code without issues. Switching to this method won’t negatively affect performance. Instead, it will likely improve performance. This tool can also be useful sometimes in solving the white screen of death.
