Switching From Elementor To GeneratePress

I recently built a new website for my WordPress management company.

The first time I built it with Elementor. Then just a day later, I built the same site, with GeneratePress & GenerateBlocks.

In this video I'll show you how they perform, how they differ in appearance, and how easy I find each tool to use.

Just wanted to say, Dave, what a great video. Common sense, balanced, clearly well thought through and planned beforehand, really well explained, and kept my attention from beginning to end. I can't say that about a lot of WP tutorial vids! Brilliant.

Great take on the mobile page speed comparison. Agree 100%.

Exactly what i needed here and now, thank you. Do you know if they are any gutenburg templates that i can simply load into generate press ??

Based on my limited experience, I’m liking the Bricks Builder so far. Built a 1 page landing page and got a near perfect 100 score in lighthouse and GTMetrix. Worst score was 97 performance score for mobile in lighthouse.

Bricks is less mature than Oxygen but it’s built using modern code and is a lot more smooth. Bricks appears to care about web accessibility a lot more than Oxygen. A couple more major updates and I think I won’t miss Oxygen.

Unless you have some VERY basic one page design, theres no way you build a site with Elementor and score an A.. sorry Im just not believing it! With all the unnecessary bloat that Elementor loads just by default alone causes a failing grade.

Do you mean Generateblock vs Elimentor? Genrate block is a theme that helps building the website, I am new I don't know if Generate block is owned by Generatepress or not?

[MrOliver]

I love Generateblocks and Generatepress although I put Kadence blocks in as well

[KariposTheOne]

I'm moving away from Elementor to Bricks, there are still a lot of issues with Elementor that could be easily fixed and improved but instead they are focussing on Hosting

Did you ever do a build out video? How is Gutenberg and generate press now?

You need to try Greenshift blocks + Greenshift Theme combo. You will be surprised to find that this combo is even Faster than GeneratePress + GenerateBlocks.

I wish you broke down the mobile PSI scores more by looking at scores for TBT, FCP, LCP, Speed Index, etc.

Anybody else laughing at the subliminal Gridpane Ad? 😁

Why not host the fonts yourself as opposed to pulling them from Google?

GeneratePress is 10x better than Elementor.
