The Divi Theme's visual builder overlays the front-end view of your website with a range of buttons, borders and popup modal boxes which can be used to manipulate the webpage. These elements are animated onto the page, often scaling from zero height and visibility to full size and visibility, often accompanied by a "bounce" animate at the end. While stylish, you might find yourself getting tired of all the animations and perhaps wanting to save yourself waiting the few milliseconds they take to play out. Fortunately there is a built-in Divi setting for disabling the animations.
To disable the animations, simple click on the "three vertical dot" menu button in the visual builder, and then set "Builder Interface Animations" to "Off". Close the settings, save your page in visual builder and you're done.
Thanks, this is what I was just looking for. Looks like switching it off, helps the builder loading twice. Finnaly! :)
Hi Ada, I'm glad it helped. Interesting that it fixed the double loading for you. My understanding of the double loading is that it is Divi refreshing it's browser-side cache of the module settings, and occurs in response to changes in those module settings. So I'm not sure what part enabling / disabling animations would play… I'll have to do some testing and see if I can work it out :)
Hi there, i have the latest Version of Divi Theme (4.9.4) installed and the Button IS JUST NOT THERE. I got another 20 Site running with Divi and the option to turn off the Animations in the visual builder is not there? Do you have an answer for this? With kind regards – Billy Löwe
Hi Billy, I don't I'm afraid… I've just checked on my test sites and can still see (and use) the setting as described in the post. If you have an example site I can login to please feel free to send details through the contact form and I'll be happy to take a look and see if I can spot what's going on. Thanks, Dan.
