Hi @menathor
Thank you!
You should have no problems disabling a page builder in the backend.
I know many users use FDP just to disable the page builder where they don’t need it.
In any case, for any kind of issue don’t hesitate to open a thread on this forum.
Great, thanks! So just to confirm, all extra queries added to backend pages by the builder (Query Monitor shows that there are quite a few…) will disappear? And everything built or styled by the builder will display properly on the front end?
Yes, they will disappear.
Probably seeing those queries you think you need the plugin that requested them, but it’s not always so.
Many plugins ask for database queries and assets also where you don’t need them.
Removing the load that you don’t need is exactly the goal of FDP.
Sometimes some queries have really no impact, other times they have it.
It’s not really the number of queries that is important but the time they consume. You may have one single query that slows down more than 20 queries together.
I’ve never measured the queries introduced by Oxygen in the backend, so I don’t know. Maybe they are really fast queries and you will not see any difference in terms of performance, but in any case, I would try.
For the backend pages, in Backend => Backend Singles, you have also the button “Suggest unused plugins”. You will see the icon going with your mouse on the row.
After you click that button FDP will suggest which plugin you don’t need on that backend page. It’s a suggestion, you should also check with the Lens icon the preview before saving the options.
