I love the solid construction theme but it isn’t compliant with the new google algorithm changes coming 05/2021 – these penalize site for slow load and place more emphasis on UX. My site is getting poor ratings for cumulative layout shifts. See data below. Is there an update coming or does the pro version eliminate these slow loading elements? I hate to have to redesign/choose new theme.
