Another great piece of work Jack, I especially like the section of the video where you showed us how the GP, as well as Kadence, are CSS-based and AstraWP, as well as Blocksy, are script-based themes. That was something out of the box, it makes me research a little more into these 4 themes before I make my final choice. Thanks.
Thank you so much, Jack, for some of the clearest posts on the web. I've built HTML-based sites for decades and only now, am learning WordPress. To do this, I bought most of the better plugins, intending to try them out. Along the way, I came across your channel and I'm so glad I did.
Thank you this helped me a lot! I would like to buy a lifetime version and in this case Blocksy is much much cheaper. 199 vs $649 /one time for Kadence
Awesome! Hope you will use my affiliate link to get it. Kadence is now having a 20% discount on all products till 30 April. So, I think it is worth checking it out before the promotion ends (if this is the theme you want to get): jackcao.com/kadence

The thing is, blocksy is better in performance too because you can defer the Javascript to load after everything else done. But you can't do that with css since raw html is a no no. Blocksy have more features and after real life deployment with caching and optimizations it would perform better. I think you can retest them by creating a full rich page with same real-life optimizations.
I always like to test things raw because I always believe that if the raw html, css, and js are coded well, it will perform much better on an optimized environment.
Plus on an optimized environment, it will not be a fair test anymore because the settings for optimization on JS heavy sites and CSS heavy sites will be different.
@@JackCao I mean your point is just to put a fair comparison and you did it so well, now looking at back, its quite fair with sg optimizer and everything. It's very detailed too, hope channel grows bigger, keep it up man. cheers.
Is this mean that the Javascript theme will always perform well in most of the performance metrics over the CSS theme in a fully functional content-based website?
really impressive video, enjoyed it thoroughly. I have a question for you. I'm stuck on niche selection process. Can you please select me a sub niche where the competition is comparatively low? I'm interested in relationship & happiness related topics. Please help me, I will always be in your debt.
Especially in relationship and happiness, it gets really close to YMYL (Your Money Your Life) topics. I suggest that you check out this webinar, they will give you a better idea on the niches to select and how to tackle the content creation and make your site a success: jackcao.com/tass
Hello! On the WordPress dashboard >> Appearance >> Customize >> Blog Posts >> Single Post Layout >> Under Title Elements >> Expand the "Meta" Drop Down >> Scroll down and you should see a "Show Date" with a toggle >> Toggle that off and the past date will be hidden. You can do the same with pages as well, you just need to remember all the "Show Date" is under the "Meta" settings. Hope this helps :)
This is really informative and helpful Jack thanks. I know speed isn't everything and more features are useful too. For a photographer building an image heavy site, which would you recommend?
Glad it was helpful! I would recommend using Kadence, but for block plugins I would recommend CoBlocks. They are best for photographers. Kadence: jackcao.com/kadence CoBlocks: wordpress.org/plugins/coblocks/

Are you familiar with the Imagely Theme and NextGen Pro?
In general, how do you think Imagely product compares?
Nov 2023: How do you test for mobile speed test as majority of users are visiting from their phones? Does Kadence still win in Mobile Speeds for most of their themes?
Which one is better kadence or generatpress ??
For a fast e-commerce site with SEO what do you recommend? I was thinking Kadence because it is faster
Which theme would you recommend specifically for Woocommerce?
@JackCao we need an update of this test! I'm beging you! Please come back to your test!
Yes, please! I searched the entire internet. Need an updated review side by side as I am willing to switch but am confused.

Hello! On the WordPress dashboard >> Appearance >> Customize >> Blog Posts >> Single Post Layout >> Under Title Elements >> Expand the "Meta" Drop Down >> Scroll down and you should see a "Show Date" with a toggle >> Toggle that off and the past date will be hidden.
