I have heard using page builder like elementor pro slow down the website? is that right?
What if we use optimization tools with it like rocket. and CDN. is that ok then to use page builder?
Also how we can check a wordpress theme is fast or slow before we start using it or install it on wordpress.

Mostly, I use Thrive Architect for my all Amazon affiliate sites and Elementor pro for my agency. I suggest you to go for Elementor which is better than Thrive architect.

There is not going to be any performance issues with elementor pro. Just use some caching plugins and you are good to go. Regarding performance of themes you can check it on their demo links

If you know how to optimize it you wont have any speed issues with elementor pro. I have used thrive for 2 years, and finally get rid of it and move to elementor.

Well, yes it does slows down the site speed, but you can do speed optimization.

If you are looking for a fast page builder, then you should look at Oxygen. Though you need to have some CSS, JS and HTML skills to keep up with it.

All the best

Yes, using plugins may slow down your website. Why specifically builder plugin? I have been using elementor builder for months now without any speed issue.

I've been loking at page builders, there's loads of them now. Have been using wp-bakery but am fed up with it.

What are peoples opinions of elementor vs themeco pro vs beaver builder vs oxygen vs divi?

I'm hearing good things about elementor & pro & oxygen but can't decide?

Am going to try Festingers vault to try them all out, unless you can all save me some time?

you can also do speed ompimization on the server level (i.e. httpd config, MySQL etc) then the loading speed of the site will also increase despite what plugins you use.
keep in mind that speed isn't everything though, look at many big sites. their loading speed is slow as they load a ton of js scripts (tracking, ads, frameworks) and they still rank fine.

I strongly suggest Visual Composer because, it works well with all WordPress themes and similar to Beaver Builder and Divi .
