Hi Aaron,
GP Premium and GenerateBlocks are both optimized for performance – if you are using the options or blocks from those plugin then they would need to remain activated.
To be honest, we’ve rarely encountered good experiences with Ezoic in this forum.
I’m very surprised they would say this about GP and GB and don’t believe it’s true.
You can test any of our site library templates here as they are all using GP Premium and GenerateBlocks (most of them) – they should all have excellent performance without any optimization plugins etc:
