PostX looks like a winner. I know the product is magazine oriented, but I can see a lot more possibilities beyond that. Looking forward to them completing their roadmap for even more dynamic content integration. They also have an interesting program for adding pro features to a fixed theme developer.
Thanks for this. Could you do a episode on the effect of each block plugin’s effect on PSI scores. For instance, Essential Blocks killed mine on a dev site. Keep up the great Gutenberg evangelism. You’ve already convinced one 4 yr Divi user to switch.
Me too. Sadly spent thousands of dollars buying dedicated plugins and lifetime bundles for Divi builder. My main issue was the backend being so slow that it was unbearable for designers. Now the investment is in the trash, and I have to redesign 20 websites with Kadence.
Automatically subscribe after watching this, and now Im gonna switch onto guttenberg too, thankyou for the information, shorts but critical and hit to the point for me before deciding what should i do for start a wordpress.
Hello Jack. Just a suggestion: Based on this and your previous video, why don't you suggest us what could be the best block combination among them all? That would be fantastic! Thanks, Jack!
Thanks for this, you're doing great work. I have a question though, Which one could affect the loading speed? I have read a comment somewhere saying that Qubely affects the loading speed.
I am curious about the *plugins best user practice, for installation and later de-installation, to change to other (newer/better) block plugins:* if I use a block from a plugin, create content in it, and then later on *delete/deactivate the plugin*, the content which was created by utilizing a block from the deleted plugin will go back to a basic block (picture, text, etc)? So if a block plugin is deleted, chances are high, that layouts are affected. How to prevent this? I guess we need to be able to see which dependencies a block plugin has with which post (content in general). Any thoughts on that? I assume, as block plugins progress, some might become obsolete. How would one approach such an issue? An example: Qubely is great today, but will become obsolete, since Gutenbee will have it all and more in the future. How to make the transition without having all kinds of outdated Gutenberg block plugins installed?
I was looking exact for such an amazing vid like this one for month!!! You are just awesome, thank you! I really hate page builders and your thoughts are exact the same as mine: Page builders are obsolete in 2022. They are outdated. But I did not know about all this features and things you are showing here. What about the header and footer design? Can you make transparent header and dynamic header too?
Thanks for another great video Jack. I’m going to play around with these new block plugins this weekend. Can I ask - which block would be best for social sharing links for posts? Keep up the great work! Cheers!
Honestly, I don't think any of them are great at the moment. There is just one plugin that has this feature but it is basic. Most have the Social Profile link, but not social sharing. If you are looking for that, you may need to rely on plugins for now.
Thanks, Jack, for the excellent video help! You're helping my site revision make huge leaps forward. Question, though: do you know if there are any blocks for Gutenberg that are containers to copyright protect content?
Jack, what happens if a start up plugin closes down in the future, will the installed block go away or have error codes appear in the section? So many new plugins coming up - it's hard to know which company will last? Thanks for all your content.
The effect will just be like the other plugins on the market. You will not notice any difference initially but as Wordpress advances, those "closed down" plugins will not be updated and slowly and surely it will not be compatible. So just in case any plugin closes down, you just need to change them immediately.
Thanks for the video! Are all of these plugins compatible most popular themes? I recently had an issue where some of the plugins you have mentioned caused massive errors with the default WordPress theme. And so I had to delete those plugins and switch the look of my site.
And a supplementary question: if you do install a number of plug-in blocks can you mix and match them and does that create an overhead in size or speed?
Thanks for your content. I work most of my projects using Elementor ir oxygen. I need to know if you can build a member area? (In Elementor you can use the profile builder of jetengine) can you do a single post of a custom post type? A archive? Custom header? Thanks a lot. I want to change muy projects to something more easier for my clients and more faster for myself thanks again
Inspired by the 'Essential Blocks' part, I just gave it a spin (well, actually several spins). Was mostly interested in one of the blocks. Seemed to work fine. But my Google PageSpeed Insights score went down 40-50 points! Mobile went from 97-98 to 65, then to 46. Weirdly it had the same effect on another page, that was never touched by Essential Blocks. When I deactivate the plugin everything goes back to normal. Back and forth several times with same results. Anybody else seeing the same?
I love the Gutenberg idea .. but man .. wordpress's weakness is plugins .. If gutenberg want to pass Elemenator just bundle much plugins in butenberg it self .. we had enough of more plugins .. .. Much plugins is much problems .. .. Keep it up Like the tutorial
Hi, I just looking for a comment plugin that doesn't has the subscribe field. Do you know some comment plugin without the subscription option? Tks Cléber
Can you build a form that redirects to a query path upon submission and shows certain posts based on that path? Its easy with elementor and conditions. Not sure how to do it other than coding a custom plugin.
Great video. Quick question. Will using one Gutenberg block builder plugin (ie. ultimate blocks) slow down my wp website at all? Should I stick with the classic editor if I don't want to sacrifice any speed? Is there one you would recommend for not affecting speed? I have simple needs, don't require tons of options. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!
'm sorry off topic, but I'm having a whale of a time resolving a Header issue. I want the text on the left and Hamburger menu on the right to line up with edges of the Slider below it. When I set the correct padding for the Tablet the padding for the phone is no good and visa versa. I cannot find a way to set them separately in the Customizer.

Love you bro your info sharing is career changing! 🛑 BIG CONCERN!!! 🛑 Why do none of these offer Lottie integration?? Lottie is such a powerful way to use eye catching animations and yet being very lightweight.
Interesting review! Is there any way to let us place "any" blocks into a carousel / slider? It will be very interesting if you create a tutorial on this, I believe this will be very interesting and brings benefit to your viewer :D
@@JackCao yes bro magazine type... and is it possible to customize the footer pages/ menu in the home page like about us, Disclaimer, Terms and conditions according to my wish?
I would probably replace GetWid with The Plus Blocks as it is lightweight: ruclips.net/video/e9VTStmKVjc/видео.html I'll stick with Kadence Blocks for design fundamentals, like layouts.
I am convinced Gutenberg is the future. It is so easy to use compared with Divi and Elementor. I am converting all my Web Sites to Gutenberg. Thanks for your videos. I use them as a reference.
Wow. 6 Builders is quite a lot. Honestly, you just need to know what design you want on your page and then you check which block plugins will provide those features to you. Most of the time you only need 1 to 2.
I'm kind of disappointed. Some of these are horrible for performance, i.e. qubely. Qubely might be all fancy but its buggy, development stopped for a while and as i said terrible Performance. Their image comparison block is also horrible. Place the same image in the two columns. They wont show exactly the same.

Would you make quick video with comparison of all Gutenberg blocks plugins? What are your top 5 between all the plugins you showed us now and before?
Top 3 maybe
Wow... so many options. It must be a full time job just to keep up with what's new. Thanks for the review.
Need an antenna that is long and wide. Haha! Actually I got most of these from the good people who left a comment on my channel. 😁
Hello Jack. Just a suggestion: Based on this and your previous video, why don't you suggest us what could be the best block combination among them all? That would be fantastic! Thanks, Jack!
Another awesome video. Thanks a lot Jack! I think I will take a closer look at Essential Blocks in a first round.
You are welcome and thank you! 😊
Will there be a page speed test of this block plugins?
Nice question. I am following..
If you put in a request, I will look into it. I did one with Kadence Blocks DOM. I am planning for Stackable 3.0 DOM. Anymore request?
I´d be very interested in watching this tutorial if you decide to do it.
Thanks for all your effort Jack, I really appreciate your channel.
Thanks for this, you're doing great work. I have a question though, Which one could affect the loading speed? I have read a comment somewhere saying that Qubely affects the loading speed.

awesome. especially the animated text is cool.
i see myself using up tp 10 plugins in the end :(
Good thing about some block plugins is you can toggle the feature off if you don't use it.
Love your videos, they have been very helpful!
I'm glad they helped! Thanks for your support! 😊

Thanks
Thankyou so much this is a big help
Does that mean page builders are not good? great vids btw!
Page builders (matured ones like Elementor, Divi, Thrive Themes) slows down your site. They are great for designing pages though.
Awesome Review, Jack. Thanks for all your hard work put into making this video for us.
Its my pleasure sharing these with you. 😊
How do these blocks affect speed?
Amazing video 👌
Thanks for the video!

this was a great video, thanks. Question: is it a good idea to install them all on the same wordpress site?
And a supplementary question: if you do install a number of plug-in blocks can you mix and match them and does that create an overhead in size or speed?
Just two will be powerful.
What about Cwicly? It's a new player and looks like it offers advanced settings like Oxygen builder
What is your opinion on Oxygen builder?
What are your top 3 Gutenberg Block plugins? I like Kadence.

Qubely and Stackable, maybe later or soon Plus addons for Gutenberg.

Hmm. That cause for an investigation on the plugin. 😁 Will do one vid on guternberg block plugins that will slow down you site.

Can you build a form that redirects to a query path upon submission and shows certain posts based on that path? Its easy with elementor and conditions. Not sure how to do it other than coding a custom plugin.
Can you rank or pick the block that good for responsive and one that’s not yet recommended ?

Nope you can use any blocks plugin with no worries and dont be so focus on speed

any block for author box?
ya very good work, but can u give us a complete website design from scratch in any one of block plugin a website tutorial....thank u
Hi Jack,
Can you mix these block editors? Will they conflict or should you choose just one?
Gutenberg Blocks should work well together, but my recommendation is not to install more than 3.
what's the interval music he's using anybody knows ?
Love you bro your info sharing is career changing! 🛑 BIG CONCERN!!! 🛑 Why do none of these offer Lottie integration?? Lottie is such a powerful way to use eye catching animations and yet being very lightweight.
There is. Discover: jackcao.com/theplus

It will be very interesting if you create a tutorial on this, I believe this will be very interesting and brings benefit to your viewer :D
You can use Kadence advanced slider block for that. Inside each slide you can do simply anything, like using other blocks.
Agree with @mistergeko! Advanced Slider Block does what you have described. 😊
This is the problem. We are still locked in the elementor... I want to use Gutenberg, but I see that it is not as easy as the other one.
Plz reply... which is the best Gutenberg for tech blog?
I presume it is a magazine type blog? If so, then this: jackcao.com/postx
@@JackCao yes bro magazine type... and is it possible to customize the footer pages/ menu in the home page like about us, Disclaimer, Terms and conditions according to my wish?
Do any of these replace the Kadence / Getwid combo you mentioned in your other video ?
I would probably replace GetWid with The Plus Blocks as it is lightweight: ruclips.net/video/e9VTStmKVjc/видео.html
I'll stick with Kadence Blocks for design fundamentals, like layouts.
Can we have more content focusing on mobile first. As most people do everything on mobile and don't really use laptops etc anymore.
I am convinced Gutenberg is the future. It is so easy to use compared with Divi and Elementor. I am converting all my Web Sites to Gutenberg. Thanks for your videos. I use them as a reference.
What about toolset
is it possible to mix using page builder and Gutenberg block plugin
Yes you can, but I don't see the point because Gutenberg blocks can do most of what page builders can do.
@@JackCao thanks
Ok so now i have 6 builders installed and waiting to hear more from you...
Wow. 6 Builders is quite a lot. Honestly, you just need to know what design you want on your page and then you check which block plugins will provide those features to you. Most of the time you only need 1 to 2.

you missed stackable bro...and getwid
Done those in this vid: ruclips.net/video/p_kdgKpv_js/видео.html
How can I get in contact with you? Do you have a email?
I don't see my comment..:-(
I'm kind of disappointed. Some of these are horrible for performance, i.e. qubely. Qubely might be all fancy but its buggy, development stopped for a while and as i said terrible Performance.
Their image comparison block is also horrible. Place the same image in the two columns. They wont show exactly the same.
