Hi, @campkins.
I’m sorry you’re encountering a critical error when trying to enable the Optimized Control Loading feature. Critical errors can occur for a variety of reasons. The following can help you troubleshoot:
- Review the PHP error logs, as they may help pinpoint the issue
- View the console tab using the browser’s inspect tools to look for errors
- Deactivate all plugins apart from Elementor to determine if the issue is due to a plugin conflict. If this helps, reactivate them one by one to find the culprit
- If this doesn’t work, switch your theme temporarily to a default WP theme, such as Twenty Nineteen, and see if that helps
- Make sure your version of Elementor is updated to the latest version.
If the above doesn’t help, please share any errors you may have noticed (in the browser’s console, etc.) in case we can help guide you further.
Kind Regards,
