How to Reduce DOM Depth in PrestaShop with Flexbox Containers | Creative Elements

🎬 Learn how to reduce DOM depth in PrestaShop using Creative Elements and the new Flexbox Container system. In this tutorial, you'll learn how to optimize an existing Creative Elements template step by step while keeping the visual design exactly the same. We'll start with a header where our reference element is nested 15 levels deep in the DOM. First, we'll enable Optimized DOM Output to automatically remove unnecessary wrapper elements. Then, we'll convert the existing Sections and Columns to Flexbox Containers, and finally simplify the container structure by removing unnecessary nested containers. By the end of the tutorial, we'll reduce the DOM depth from 15 to just 9 levels — a 40% reduction. A cleaner and shallower DOM means fewer nested HTML elements for the browser to process, which can improve rendering performance, especially on lower-powered devices. ✅ What You'll Learn: ✔ Understanding DOM depth and nested HTML elements ✔ Enabling Optimized DOM Output ✔ Converting Sections and Columns to Containers ✔ Checking converted layouts on desktop, tablet, and mobile ✔ Using the Navigator to understand container structure ✔ Removing unnecessary nested Containers ✔ Moving widgets between Containers ✔ Preserving layout settings during optimization ✔ Reducing DOM depth without changing the design 📘 Documentation: https://docs.webshopworks.com/creativ... 🌐 Creative Elements Demo: https://pagebuilder.webshopworks.com/ ⚡ Creative Elements for PrestaShop: https://addons.prestashop.com/en/bloc... ⏱️ Timestamps 0:00 Intro 0:28 Step 1 – Optimized DOM Output 1:31 DOM Comparison – 15 to 12 1:50 Step 2 – Convert to Flexbox Containers 4:18 DOM Comparison – 12 to 10 4:37 Step 3 – Remove Unnecessary Containers 7:24 Final DOM Comparison – 15 to 9 Facebook:   / webshopworks   Instagram:   / webshopworks
