After building 30+ client sites across 3 agencies, I've moved almost entirely to Bricks Builder. Here's why.

The problem with Elementor at scale:

• DOM bloat. A simple page generates 200+ divs. That kills Core Web Vitals.

• Plugin dependency. You need 5+ add-ons for things Bricks handles natively.

• Performance ceiling. No matter how much you optimize, Elementor sites plateau around 70-80 on PageSpeed.

What changed when I switched to Bricks:

• Average PageSpeed jumped from 72 → 94 across my last 10 projects

• Build time dropped ~30% because Bricks' query loop and dynamic data system is insanely fast

• Clients stopped complaining about slow sites

The one thing Elementor still wins at:

Ease of use for clients who want to edit their own content. Bricks' editor is more developer-focused. If your client needs to DIY, Gutenberg blocks with ACF fields is the better handoff.
