By activating Lottie, all the style of Gutenberg editor broke…
I was using this plug-in for a year until I started looking into why I was getting low website speed scores.
This plug-in is horribly bloated, wow! I had C and D scores on GTMetrix due to browser render-blocking due to heavy file sizes and JS. I replaced it with the Lottie Player from bPlugins and immediately got A.
Replacing the plug-in brought the file size on an HTML page I used for comparison down from 2.3 MB to 190 KB.
Make your own tests and decide for yourself or know that I already did it for you, and look elsewhere for a better plug-in.
The plugin has not been updated for many months. I see the following error in the block editor (developer console), even if I don’t use the Lottie block:
Uncaught (in promise) NotSupportedError: Failed to execute ‘define’ on ‘CustomElementRegistry’: the name “lottie-player” has already been used with this registry
Critical Error. Not working!
It injects whole tailwind css with 29.628 css rules in the admin!
For those who understand this, it is nothing more to say.
