What is BHW's Most Recommended Page Builder?

[Josh Saga]

Hello All,

I'm having a hard time choosing between the 4 namely:
DIVI
Oxygen
Beaver Builder
Elementor

What I'm looking for is best for SEO and lightweight - however I don't have much knowledge with CSS

I don't have issues with pricing on these as well.

I just want to know which would work best with:

1. SEO
2. Site Speed


Any in detail recommendation would be most appreciated!

Thanks,
Josh Saga

1) check if your theme needs it.
2) if not don’t install one
3)if it needs it go for elementor or Wp bakery

Oxygen doesn't do well with themes, you build the themes basically, it's annoying to integrate with a theme
If the theme needs a page builder, I always go with WP Bakery.
I find that it's pretty light weight and does what I need it to do. Plus i'm pretty use to it aswell.
Elementor has been an excellent choice aswell.

As page speed, all 3 I mentioned haven't been too bad for me even when its graphic heavy pages.

I don’t use any of those listed but I like wp bakery and also muffin builder which comes with betheme is pretty decent.

I have seen many people recommend Oxygen. My choice is WP Bakery

 

[Ethan_Schwarz]

Elementor!

I am using WP Bakery but in the past I tested Beaver Builder and DIVI but WP Bakery is simply the best for me.

 

[Stuffedegg]

I have little designing ability or wish to. But, I have had elementor on one of my own sites which was good to use.

I have also used WP bakery on other people's sites, and hated it. But as @MrPositive has said, if you don't need one, don't use it.

I have tried Elementor and WP Bakery. The first is my main tool it can be as lightweight as you want it to be if you don't bloat your page with fancy animations and a lot of css. Bakery is more straightforward and less customizable but gets the job done.

Forget everthing, go with Generateblocks

I'm a fan of using Oxygen for building themes. I've used WP Bakery before on sites and I find it to be absolute garbage all around. Elementor has a nice looking UI and is user friendly for those without HTML and CSS experience looking to build fancier web pages than what their theme offers. A new page builder I am keeping my eye on is Bricks Builder. Version 1.0 was just released this month and it looks very promising. Elementor has the nice UI and is easy to use but is bloated, while Oxygen eliminates the bloat but it's UI is not as nice as Elementor and therefore users might find it more difficult to use. The find the actual Oxygen builder to load slow which can be annoying when needing to make quick template edits. Bricks could very well could become the best of Elementor and Oxygen rolled up into one. I uploaded Bricks here if anyone wants to try it out.

Any page builder have speed trouble, use simple page builder who not using a lot of trouble things.

If you are referring to "speed troubles" due to the website loading your end result then this is not true. Any website should be caching their pages making the speed troubles almost moot. If you want to talk about page sizes then yes, page builders like Elementor use a lot of nested divs to achieve simple layouts. Page builders like Oxygen output a much leaner code structure not much different than one you could code.

I don't use this page builder, but when I fix my client websites, I find a lot of trouble with speed and divs and codes.

I believe Oxygen is the best

Elementor!

I am using Beaver Builder and Elementor. Both are good. By comparing this two, Elementor is better.
