Greenshift - WordPress Gutenberg pagebuilder blocks (with animation)

Reviewing the pros and cons of this cool new Gutenberg block library that comes with animation effects, and allows you to animate any Gutenberg block. Cool and fun to use.

@WPJohnny, Thank you, Johnny, for this great video! I found out why the speed of different parts of their site was different (I created a special topic in their FB group). It turns out that they have introduced a new product - GS on top of their classic theme - ReHub (any WP Theme detector shows it) . After I showed them your video with time-stamps, they recognized the problem and made corrections (perhaps not everywhere). But now those problematic parts are "flying" at a good speed. Thanks to you (and their answers) I was able to 1) to see the problem, 2) show it to the devs, 3) get satisfied answers. Thank you, it was very important to me.

About speed. If you check details from google, you will see that problem are from woocommerce and Wordpress assets and not related to plugin. But, ok, we replaced classic theme to Greenshift block theme and it gives immediately +20-30 points. Checked some posts from video and it shows me 99-100 scores

@WPJohnny, You have a gift (or a skill) to explain things very clearly. May I ask you to record a video on how to use FSE with the Greenshift Theme? This is an absolutely incomprehensible and confusing skill for beginners. You will receive thanks from hundreds or even thousands of newbies. The Greenship theme and plugin is gaining popularity, but no one knows how to use FSE with GS. (OR you can use some other Theme with the simmilar structure. They say not every Block Themes behaves the same way with FSE)

Unfortunately, a very poor review. Normally I find your reviews quite good, but except for the minimalist design libary, I can't understand the review in any way.

The speed test is a bad joke. - If you had taken 2 minutes to look at the themes they also offer in the (bad) design libary, you would have noticed that they are all, fast as hell.

On a blank page with just a headline, i get a 73 Speedcore on Pindom vs. a 160 for Breakdance.

I don't even want to start with the fact that such a design with the breakdance you mentioned is not possible without custom code. (Should actually be the other way round.)

- You really can't speak of slow. Even if you look around a bit in the community, you can quickly see which page builders people are switching from to Greenshift, precisely because of the speed.

Comparing pagebuilders like Breakdance with Gutenberg is an apple / pear comparison, that should be clear to everyone.

The review did not even show 10% of what is possible with greenshift and how it works.

For example how many gutenberg plugin do you know, that have a grid option?
(Maybe 3 out of 30 ? - Greenshift is one of them.)

Also comparing it with Cicwly. - When i want class based builder i use Bricksbuilder or Oxygen. Cicwly is rather diffiuclt, time consuming and also force you to use their theme, if i am not wrong.
Cicwly is also WAY slower, not even a comparison. Greenshift is in a whole different league. Comparisons would be possible here with Generateblocks or ThePlusblocks, both of which are also very powerful block builders, that are very fast.

That there are no tutorials is also not true. There are plenty of good tutorials on their youtube channel and homepage, how to use Greenshift. For example i searched today, how i can use their carousel option to make a logo slider. No problem to find. Try to find this on Bricksbuilder homepage.

To be honest i don´t get even what you talking about 13 minutes. You keep saying it feels fast, loads fast in the backend too, but somehow it's not fast without showing any tests, because you found 1 block inside the libary that was bad optimized in your eye? Thats your review, really?

The funny thing is, i took the same block today und used it for test purpose with other blocks, and got instant a 100/100 on Pagespeed Insight, weird.

I can only recommend everyone to do their own tests and compare Greenshift with other Gutenberg and non-Gutenberg page builders. You'll quickly find that it's hard to find other page builders that are significantly faster.

Please make a battle and comparison between top Gutenbrg addons 😊
GHreenshift vs Cwicly vs Stackable vs The plus addons vs Kadence

What would you use.. any nice Real Life example.

Does Greenshift have functionality of dynamic content?

[OneBrighDay]

I haven't used WordPress in 10 years, so I have a different perspective. I really want something I can insert js functionality into; plus, I usually use Figma to design things first, so I don't mind a minimal design library. You have done Greenshift, Cicwly, and Breakdance; which one do you like better. Also, you didn't show the page speed scores with the other builders, how did those fair? Thanks in advance.

[HaifengZhu-pnuq]

hi, is Greenshift lightweight or heavy?

[kimberlydisney]

Completely disagree. Lazy developers want wireframes and templates. The page scores in Yellow Labs are much better on current versions but I feel like I need to defend these guys. This is an extensive toolset for the dollar amount. Even the free version "core blocks" which you did not show what was "free" is better than anything else out there.
