Using Module Visibility Settings in Divi

Learn how to create device-specific, optimized content in Divi to improve user experience and site performance.

What is the Divi Theme?

Divi is a powerful WordPress theme and visual page builder by Elegant Themes that allows you to create stunning, professional websites without coding. Its intuitive drag-and-drop interface and modular design let you customize every aspect of your site, making it perfect for beginners and developers alike.

One standout feature of Divi is its ability to fine-tune how your content appears on different devices (desktop, tablet, and mobile). With mobile traffic accounting for more than 50% of global web traffic, optimizing your site for all devices is a must.

Why Use Divi's Module Visibility Settings?

Your website visitors have unique needs based on their devices. Divi's visibility settings allow you to:

  • Improve Page Speed: Hide heavy content like large images or videos on mobile to ensure pages load faster.
  • Enhance User Experience: Customize content to fit device screens. For instance, you might show a smaller image on mobile and a larger one on desktop.
  • Create Device-Specific Content: Adjust layouts, text, or images to cater to different screen sizes, ensuring your website always looks professional.
  • Simplify Content Management: Design once and reuse content across devices, improving workflow efficiency.
