    Nobody uses oxygen builder?

    I have been following the Oxygen group on FB, I have tried the demo, I watched videos about it.. somehow I felt it was not for me. I get that many people are happy with it and that's great, but perhaps for me the whole idea of going "themeless" and also the builder itself when trying it was just not what I was looking for. Not to say it is bad, it just wasn't for me.

    Probably this will overtake pagbuilders.

  • Honestly the norm is to disable gutenberg as soon as you install a clean WP instance. Any actual dev knows this is the way (trying to be funny). No but seriously, just check the millions of downloads and installs that the classic editor plugin has. A plugin that was created in response to the gutenberg been set as default.

    I would rank the top builders as : Divi Builder -> Elementor -> WP Bakery (former visual composer).
    Some elementors addon plugins were targetted recently, some security issues, make sure you are up to date.

    I put the "free" Virmach 512 MB Vps to use; Installed WordPress + OpenLiteSpeed on it. Pretty nifty stuff! On base Ubuntu 18.04, RAM usage is between 220 and 280 MB - leaving nearly 200 MB free. The test site and related blog post with images is at
    http://v.amarvyas.com/?p=11

    Note: I intend to keep this site and link alive till the duration of the server, that is, till October 3rd, 2021. For sake of Sanity, let us call it end of September 2021.

    Edit:
    It is past midnight and I borked the ssl settings and Litespeed configuration. Ignore the above link.

    Visit https://v.amarvyas.com/?p=11

    Pl ignore ssl alerts if you get any, one or two images may not load.

    For the paranoid here is alternate site hosted on blogger

    I've noticed Stackable on there for a while but after seeing what happened to Quebely (development), I'm skipping that one for now. Surely not a bad builder but rn not for me.

    I am tinkering around with TasteWP - "Disposable" Wordpess installations. These are WP sites that are valid for 7 Days.
    They do have plans for more longer term WP sites, but I like the concept.

    Here is the (aff) link to sign up for those interested. *

    https://tastewp.com/r/AbaV

    I really like the options they offer at the time of installation.

    Settings for TasteWP

    *Note: 1. You sign up for free account, For every 3 registrations, the referrer gets 1 "non-disposable" wordpress install.
    2. I am very bad at affiliate stuff, so help me learn :-)

    1. Link to the site I created- this site will self delete on August 5, 2021

    Looks nice. Definitely a niche market they could get there. As for me, I'd just spin up a Softaculous install with my favourite freely available themes/plugins pre-installed using Softaculous "Sets". I have a subdomain (along the lines demo.domain.com..) where I temporarily try, clone and migrate stuff :) Softaculous makes this a few clicks, really.

  • vyasvyas OGRetired

    I Agree- Softaculous is a good way, this gives an option for some quick and dirty installation + testing.
    Forgot to add:
    Account is free to use - probably they are in a public beta. Had last read about them on Product Hunt in Feb 2021

    It definitely sounds great and really only takes seconds to spin up, I imagine. So, I can see why it would be appealing. I even think I have heard of them before somewhere.. Hmm.. :D

    Interesting find, although I will skip this deal. For hosting, I like to carefully select the hosts I work with (unless for fun) and not sure when the first issue with "unlimited" policy would appear. That being said, I also have more than enough resources on my Reseller plans, so really not needing it now.

    On another note: What are your go to SEO plugins today? I usually choose Yoast (free), but many also seem to like AIO SEO or Rankmath (although for Rankmath it sounds kinda shilled sometimes).

    Anyone tried Slimseo? Looks interesting: https://wpslimseo.com/

    The SEO Framework works perfectly fine - and is simple to configure. That's one of my go-to plugins for practically every website.

    Content writing (long form/ short form) tools , and optimization tools. Most use GPT3 based AI tools.

    Frase, Rytr, Writesonic... Jarvis, Karka, Peppertype.... too many going around these days. Most offer suggestions for SEO compliance- sentence structure, keywords, paragraphs....

    That is true. I have mostly used Yoast and Divi SEO settings. Will give SEO Framework a look! Thanks :)

    It's not like Yoast was anything but a bunch of bloat in the first place anyways.

    Awesome news for Divi fans :)

    A mail regarding this update just came in :)

    P9M2x.jpg

    Today we are excited to release a transformational Divi Performance update that speeds up Divi from every angle and lays down a foundation on which Divi can grow with more modules and more features without ever adding bloat to your website. We turned Divi into a super light-weight theme by modularizing its PHP framework and assets, loading and processing only what’s needed on-demand based on the modules and features you use. We made Divi super smart, automatically identifying Critical CSS, deferring non-critical styles and reducing the Divi Builder’s CSS output by combining duplicate styles. We also introduced a collection of new options that automatically improve performance by caching and deferring various render-blocking requests and removing unneeded resources.

    What plugin to use instead of Yoast, Rankmath?

  • @level6 said:

    The SEO Framework or SEOPress if you want a full-fledged SEO plugin. Slim SEO if you want a lightweight plugin with limited but essential features.

    Probably it boils down to what

    For about a year now, I've switched all the websites to The SEO Framework (TSF).
    For a bit more details, I wrote an article comparing it with Yoast, and mentioning some other alternatives:
    TSF vs Yoast
    (long, boring, in detail, as usual :) )
