[Resolved] Opinion of Crocoblock/Elementor

[Leighton]

Hello, all!

I’m loving GeneratePress, thus far, but I’m looking for more styling features for the front page, without negatively affecting my page speed score.
I came across CrocoBlock (https://crocoblock.com/) and JetBlog (https://crocoblock.com/plugins/jetblog/), which is an add-on styling plugin for Elementor, and I’m wondering if anyone has any experience with this setup. Are they speed optimized, clean code, etc? Will it integrate with GeneratePress? Any speed issues?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi Leighton,

I’m wondering if anyone has any experience with this setup. Are they speed optimized, clean code, etc

Unfortunately we don’t spend time digging into other plugin’s code to be able to provide comments on this.

Will it integrate with GeneratePress?

All plugins that are well-coded and built to work with WordPress themes will work with GP.

Any speed issues?

Same as the first note unfortunately. The easiest way to tell is to run a speed test before/after using the plugin.

Is it something that needs to be with Elementor? Page builders aren’t generally great for speed.

Lastly, have you considered our very own GenerateBlocks?

Definitely give it a shot if speed and performance are key factors for you 🙂

Hey, Leo!

Thanks for the quick reply… I’ve looked at GenerateBlock and I’d prefer to use it if possible, but from what I’ve seen, it doesn’t have block functionality to create blog post grids, like are used for a magazine-style layout.

It cannot be used to create post grids for now but we have plans to make that possible – need a couple of updates in GP first.

Alright, thanks for the info

[Leo]

No problem 🙂

in the Crocoblock page support they said that generatepress is compatible with their jet plugings, but when i want to create a template checkout page with with jetwoobuilder the fields in the form are very small, Thanks ??

Hi Ahmed,

Can you open a new topic about this? And kindly provide more details to it so we can check things out.

Opening a new topic lets you use the private information text field we need more details that can’t be shared in public like the site link and temporary site credentials. 🙂
