Elementor – How to deregister/dequeue jquery.sticky.js in Elementor (Pro)?

I want to increase my page speed by deregistering unnecessary external resources. I already managed to remove most of the external scripts, Elementor loads by default on the frontend. However, I can’t remove the jQuery plugin Sticky somehow. I guess it has to do with being a part of Elementor Pro.

I’ve already tried to look under jQuery depencies, however that didn’t work for me. 

function remove_jquery_sticky() {
    if ( ! is_admin()) {
        wp_deregister_script( 'sticky' );
    }
}
add_action( 'elementor/frontend/after_register_scripts', 'remove_jquery_sticky' );

I expect the jQuery plugin not to load on the frontend, however it still does.

    I have found a solution that works for me. If you've a cleaner solution, please let me know :)

        if(is_front_page()) {
        // Dequeue and deregister elementor-sticky
        wp_dequeue_script( 'elementor-sticky' );
        wp_deregister_script( 'elementor-sticky' );

        // Dequeue and deregister elementor-pro-frontend
        wp_dequeue_script( 'elementor-pro-frontend' );
        wp_deregister_script( 'elementor-pro-frontend' );

        // Re-register elementor-frontend without the elementor-sticky dependency.
        $suffix = ( defined( 'SCRIPT_DEBUG' ) && SCRIPT_DEBUG ) ? '' : '.min';
        wp_register_script(
                'elementor-pro-frontend',
                ELEMENTOR_PRO_URL . 'assets/js/frontend' . $suffix . '.js',
                [
                    'elementor-frontend-modules',
                ],
                ELEMENTOR_VERSION,
                true
            );
    }
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'elementor_pro_frontend_scripts' );```

    If you know the name of the action that is being added you can use the function remove_action( $tag, $function_to_remove, $priority ) or you can use wp_dequeue_script( $handle )

    Elementor and Elementor PRO register and enqueue some scripts with dependences. For remove you need deregister and register again without specific script (example without ‘elementor-sticky’).

    if(is_front_page()) {

        // Dequeue and deregister elementor-pro-frontend
        wp_deregister_script( 'elementor-pro-frontend' );

        // Re-register elementor-frontend without the elementor-sticky dependency.
        $suffix = ( defined( 'SCRIPT_DEBUG' ) && SCRIPT_DEBUG ) ? '' : '.min';
        wp_register_script(
                'elementor-pro-frontend',
                ELEMENTOR_PRO_URL . 'assets/js/frontend' . $suffix . '.js',
                [
                    'elementor-frontend-modules',
                ],
                ELEMENTOR_VERSION,
                true
            );
    }
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'elementor_pro_frontend_scripts', 20 );
