Divi is a visual constructor (Page Builder) for WordPress developed by Elegant Themes. It allows you to create websites with a “drag and drop” system without the need to write code, and has been one of the favorite tools of designers, marketers and entrepreneurs for more than a decade.
Divi has been one of the most popular pages in the WordPress ecosystem for years, especially for non-technical users, marketing agencies and freelancers. But with the rise of new visual editors, modern frameworks, and the need for higher web performance, many wondered if Divi would still be relevant.
With the arrival of Divi 5, officially planned for this month, the answer is clear: not only is it still in the game, but also has been reinvented to compete at the highest level.
A profound change in the heart of Divi
Divi 5 is not a simple visual update. Is a Full builder engine rewrite, designed to improve:
- The Loading and editing speed.
- The stability and performance of the visual editor.
- A More open and modern architecture for developers.
This new engine is developed in modern JavaScript and removes complex layers inherited from previous versions.
Key news in Divi 5
