Thanks Dave, I'm a big fan of your content. This comment means a lot!

But I got a perfect score with generate press! Clearly it’s better. 😂 From a users point of view their is a lot of good options right now. Almost too many.

@@dave-swift I’m not knocking Gutenberg (Generatepress) in the performance department. It’s more about that Bricks is on par with Gutenberg performance. In my experience, I prefer non-Gutenberg builders for complex page layouts because they are just easier to work with. I love Oxygen because it gives me the ability to do dynamic data, conditions, etc. with ease. The drawback is the builder interface is not the most pleasant to use. You have to be attentive to build accessible websites. The developers don’t seem to implement what their users are asking for. Bricks is still early on in its development but it’s surprisingly mature. Within the next couple major releases, it should have most of the features I consider essential in order for me to replace Oxygen. In many instances, Bricks implements these features better than Oxygen. I love using the Automatic CSS framework. It’s really accelerated page development and overall layout consistency across the whole website.

@@JohnChvatalGSTV Well I'm curious, it's been 6 months, have you replaced Oxygen with Bricks?

@@kakenetit2 yes, all sites I’ve built in the past 3+ months are using Bricks. In fact, I rebuilt an Oxygen site using Bricks. High Lighthouse scores are easy to achieve. 92+ without breaking a sweat.

@@JohnChvatalGSTV That's encouraging news. I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on the $249 Lifetime before it's gone.

Which do you use more often?

@@dave-swift I use GP + GP. Kadence blocks I use as well for TOC + Accordions + Lottie files. GB will have accordions + pop up in feature updates. Hopefully TOC, too. I use Kadence blocks to fill the gap for now. Generateblocks has more flexability. I can do almost everything with it. Create testimonials, pricing tables, quote blocks... Its great, when you have made a template.

Hi, i have a question. I built a local news website with elementor and wanted to move to bricks builder, how do i move all my contents that built with elementor to bricks builder ?

@@michaelkato8999 You have to rebuild everything from scratch. If the News are build dynamically, you could transfer them with a plugin

Definitely... two options for you: Complete sites: generatepress.com/site-library/?ref=2607 Patterns using their block plugin: generateblocks.com/library/?ref=4

People get really bent out of shape about mobile PSI scores. I don't put much value on them when they're still simulated (lab data). Google doesn't either -- there is no impact on search engine visibility until the scores are based on field data. Lab vs. field data often have drastically different results. I'm not saying it doesn't matter, it just isn't as important as many hype it up to be.

hey, it's 3 months later. Should I still do this? Lots of Bricks content out now, what do you want to see?

@@dave-swift Make video when Bricks 1.6 stable out in 2 or 3 days. I can free activate it for you.

@@Hassanakora Ok, I'll look for that release. Anything specific in Bricks I should highlight? Making a video on an entire page builder is a lot to ask people to focus on.

@@dave-swift 1) Performance and Speed. 2) Most website can be made without plugin. 3) Class based system. Interaction dynamic visibility. 4) Development Speed. 5) Open roadmap for upcoming features 6) Listening to community through form and good support 7) Very good support. 8) LTD Price.

GeneratePress has been my default since making this video. Playing around with others like Bricks, but GP is still my goto. I don't think I made a build out video. Don't remember much interest.

it's only an ad if they pay you. 🤣

@@dave-swift 😀

No reason not to.

@@dave-swift much better to host your own and save having another http request for the full font from Google. All helps to get your content on the page quicker.

Yep

Until GP recent dynamic content update, I would have disagreed with you.
