The Plus addons for Gutenberg: Should You Use It?

[@romuloaraujo6809]

Great find! The format of your videos is very well done, keep it that way. It must have been a lot of work and that's why you deserve a lot of recognition and likes for your work. Thanks 👍

Hi and thanks for sharing this tutorial, I think adding DOM size is just one important metric, but we also need to see haw many and how much JS and CSS will be added by these plugins.

[@felipe_arbelaez]

How about CSS and JS?

[@JoeGator23]

I saw your post about comments disappearing... You can see this one? Thanks for the helpful video. I'll watch it now.

Hi Jack, excellent presentation ! I tested few blocks using Kadence theme content inside this block

[@wilsonip]

Any plans to also have a look at their Nexter theme?

[@yadago2010]

How well does The Plus play with Kadence Blocks? Can their blocks be placed inside of a Kadence Blocks Row? Our sites and pages are very fast, thanks to you I'd like to add. I don't want to mess them up by falling prey to "shiny object syndrome." Thank you for your hard work.

[@adityaarsharmapersonal]

Thanks for the amazing video Jack ❤, creator like you uphold the WordPress community with such detailed analyzed videos. And for the Front end issue, I would like to inform you that that can be easily fixed by clearing The Plus Performance Cache, This is a special asset delivery mechanism to deliver 2 assets for each page i.e. 1 CSS and 1 JS for any no of widgets present.

Jack, you're a pro. Can you clarify your words at 23:18 where you say: "...my next favorite block plugin after ==> ('get rid is taken down')? What are your words in these parentheses, thanks!

[@JackCao]

Getwid. It was a block plugin that was taken down recently.

[@miketaiwanwalkcity6355]

Thank you, I had the same question, got trouble to understand Jack. Correct Subtitles should bring more audience

Basket 29 seconds ago Hi Jack, excellent presentation ! I tested few blocks using Kadence theme and they are a bit buggy. For example, accordion block is giving me an error if I try to place some dynamic content inside this block. In Kadence accordion block this dynamic content, which is done with another plugin, is showing nicely. ps. long time ago I asked you for your opinion regarding Jetengine plugin...anyhow, I tested it. It is lightweight, you can query/filter almost anything, create CCT,etc. However, they don't have block for raw and columns, hence you need to pair with another gutenberg plugin, and Stackable is the only one I found to work with Jetengine, especially if you want to use Jetengine listing block. In addition, Stackable container and columns block (V2) is so awkward. Stackable V3 is not stable with dynamic content. This is my experience.

[@adityaarsharmapersonal]

Hello Basket, Dynamic content support is not yet added in The Plus Addons. As we speak we are working on it. Then afterwards it will be integrated with ACF, Toolset, Pods & Meta Box.

[@Andrew-C-Witham]

Wow Jack... there are some awesome blocks here. Thanks for the review. The Data Tables made me sit up and gasp! Data tables are such a useful way to display information but such a design challenge when it comes to responsive layout. To have a good implementation done for you (when its fixed) is almost worth the price just for that. interest

[@JackCao]

Absolutely. When I was doing it with CSS, it was a nightmare. This makes it so much easier! I've done lots of research and even some premium Table Plugins do not provide such mobile optimized table. Definitely worth the money! Hopefully, the bugs will be fixed.

[@marioluna6203]

Thank you for showing this! I can see myself using this as well. Regarding the lottie animation; was there an option to display it only once per page load? I would like to have an animated site logo, and was thinking if the lottie block could solve this challenge.

[@tulipcrush7010]

Another great video Jack! ...but just wondering what you think about The Plus Blocks and their positioning for future FSE readiness vs. Stackable with their seismic shift towards FSE with their v3.0 release? In your opinion are The Plus Blocks 'future-proof' for FSE (and thus worth the LTD now) or might they too also need to make a shift in their approach the same way Stackable did? In other words - does it appear the LTD of TPB will hold it's value 'as is'? (...or if you had to pick 1 of the 2: maybe Stackable is the safer bet with them simply needing to keep adding more blocks to catch-up to others like TPB? ...while already being ready for FSE).

[@Sammyli99]

[@jasonnorman8975]

What's fse

[@wilsonip]

Lots of blocks I'm looking forward to in this package but reportedly there are still a lot of bugs and quirks. Things that don't work the way you'd expect etc

[@mecrayavcin]

Jack Could you please make a video about how to decrease DOM elements in an article while we are using Gutenberg Editor on Wordpress? Thanks

[@JackCao]

If it is an article, I recommend only using lightweight blocks. There is no way to reduce DOM other than using lightweight blocks and try not to use animations as they are heavier.

Wp rocket vs litespeed plugin. Which one is best for litespeed server?

[@JackCao]

Litespeed cache! Free and integrated.

[@miketaiwanwalkcity6355]

The Plus vs Stackable V3, which one do you prefer?

[@JackCao]

Stability: Stackable; Features: The Plus 😁

Love your vids. Can you do a review on Cwicly Gutenberg Toolkit, please?

[@msaqiib]

Thank you Jack ✌️

[@MB-sl8pw]

What you just showed is my experience with Gutenberg alot of potential but soooo many bugs all over. My second concern is that i could end up with frankenberg. Installing Gutenberg plugins from serval places cause you cannot get blocks from one place that cover all tour needs. And last i know you said dont look at the speed number but why the big drop from 87 to 60 ?

[@adityaarsharmapersonal]

Hi MB, We have our own Asset delivery mechanism, due to which we just have to purge Performance cache once from our dashboard. And for speed scores, its because just after fresh Siteground cache purge the content was fetched for page insights. Once cache gets preload, you will experience much better speed scores. For example our own domain with all blocks used - its 90+

[@MB-sl8pw]

@@adityaarsharmapersonal ok that would mean that without cache the score is 60 and with cache its 90 plus ?

[@bloggerpilot]

Too expensive.
