What is Divi 5?
We use Divi Sitebuilder for many WordPress sites to enable end users to manage their site with a simple visual builder.
Divi 5 is the next evolution of Divi’s visual builder, rebuilt from the ground up to be incredibly fast and infinitely capable, including a refreshed UI built for speed and efficiency. Divi 5 doesn’t add new features (don’t worry, those will come next) but instead focuses on the fundamentals, acting as a springboard to propel Divi into the future.
A Lightning Fast, Reinvented Website Builder
Divi 5 is very fast. Furthermore, it can handle large, complex designs with ease. You’ll notice the lightning-fast speed right away! Divi 5 significantly improves front-end page speeds as well. Speed and scalability are two of Divi 5’s core principles.
Improved Front End Page Speeds
In tests, Divi 5 is twice as fast as Divi 4 regarding front-end server rendering. The new architecture is much more efficient and built to never get bogged down no matter how many new features are added in the future.
Divi 5 Says Goodbye to Shortcodes
Divi 5 is built to be future-proof. That means removing shortcodes and migrating to a modern storage format that shares much in common with WordPress’s block editor. This allows for improved interplay between both editors, ensuring you won’t miss out on the latest WordPress features.
