How much of an impact does WPBakery have on the page speed of a site?
Thank you for sharing this I have been looking for a good theme builder in WP.All page builders bloat s site´s code making them load much slower. That´s just how it works!
Think about it, when customizing a theme, you´re pretty much injecting CSS and JS from the page builder on top of the CSS and JS from the theme.
Elementor is the page builder that less bloats a theme´s coding.
Personally?
I am starting using Oxygen!
What makes Oxygen different from all other page builders?
For starters, IS NOT A PAGE BUILDER IS A THEME BUILDER!!
Wut?
When you install Oxygen on your site it will deactivate any theme you have on your site so, any code you will inject/build will be solely from Oxygen.
Also, how Oxygen builds code it´s way more efficient than any other page builder.
I know this might be a bit biassed but, take a look at this video from the developer behind Oxygen and the differences between them and the most popular page builders on the market.
The learning curve with Oxygen is a lot more steeper in comparison to Elementor for example. There´s a reason why Elementor is the most popular page builder on the market and it´s mainly due to how friendly it´s the interface is.
Oxygen was built mostly having web developers in mind and not the average joe.
Also, Oxygen requires you to know some CSS but, I believe knowing basic HTML, CSS, and JS is ALMOST mandatory these days if we´re going to work with WordPress sites. We can´t just relay dragging and dropping elements and hope that will be enough to have a fully optimized site.
If you can pass the learning curve a learn a little bit of CSS, all you need is a few weeks working with Oxygen and I promise, you won´t use any other page builder in your life!
NOTE: By the way, Bakery is by far the worse page builder on the market in terms of how it bloats a site´s code.
Yes, WPBakery was kind of slow for me to edit in as well, what took me days / weeks would take days in Elementor.All page builders bloat s site´s code making them load much slower. That´s just how it works!
