It will not slow down your website speed because of its clean code.

But most importantly, you will not see any close alternative to the Image Hotspot and the Image Accordion in the collection of Elementor widgets – neither in Elementor Pro, nor in the Basic plugin set. Both widgets are unique and provide you with all tools needed to create interactive content fast and easily.
