    Why I Recommend Bricks Builder Over Elementor

    Filippo Tinnirello

    For years, Elementor was the industry standard. But for agencies that care about performance, clean code, and developer freedom, there is a new king in town: Bricks Builder.

    The Performance Difference

    Elementor is notorious for "DOM bloat"—wrapping a simple text element in 5 or 6 layers of divs. This hurts your Google PageSpeed scores significantly.

    Bricks is different. It outputs clean, semantic HTML. A text element is just a text tag. This lean approach means Bricks sites often score 95-100 on performance tests right out of the box, without needing heavy caching plugins to mask the problem.

    Developer-First Workflow

    Bricks feels like it was built for developers. It has native support for CSS classes, loop builders for query loops (goodbye generic post grids), and a powerful dynamic data engine.

    • Vue.js Power: The builder interface is incredibly fast and responsive.
    • Full Control: You can edit the CSS directly for any element.
    • No Lock-in: It doesn't leave a mess of shortcodes if you deactivate it.

    Why I Use It for Agency Projects

    When you hand off a project to a client, you want it to be fast, stable, and easy to maintain. Bricks delivers on all fronts. It allows me to build complex, custom layouts that load instantly, providing a better user experience for your leads.
