Oxygen 1.1 improves page load times and performance of the visual editor, along with various minor bug fixes and UX improvements.
Improved Editor Performance
We’ve significantly optimized the Oxygen Visual Editor, and performance is much better, especially on very large pages with lots of elements. Dragging & dropping in the DOM tree is much faster, elements are highlighted instantly instead of with a delay, and double-clicking to edit text is significantly faster.
Faster Page Load Times
We’ve optimized page load times on the frontend by minifying the CSS, cleaning up the HTML output, and making significant improvements to HTML & CSS generation time.
However, the current page load times are still not good enough for us. They’re not slow, but they’re not fast either. They’re mediocre, like most other page builders. So we continue to explore ways to make Oxygen load faster, and are confident we can release another round of very significant speed improvements in Oxygen 1.2.
