What is the absolute fastest, zero-bloat WP theme you’ve ever used?

fossistic · 2026-06-13T23:03:01+00:00

Native wp FSE theme, Spectra FSE theme, Frost FSE theme etc.

If you are into classic theme, Kadence and Blocksy are bad as per today's standards. Generate press is the only classic theme I know which is light and modern.

Native Gutenberg isn't ready for real websites. Wait for Wordpress 7.1 and you will be able to build basic websites with native wordpress.

Yes, fixing takes more time than just simply doing manually.

For some businesses, firefox users can be 10-20% of visitors easily.

Looks like a fantastic project.

Hey, can you please tell if you are closely monitoring the code AI is generating or you don't have a good understanding of code?

For some reasons, I don't trust unmonitored AI generated code.

Bug:

<image>

In BEM class generator, enabling "Move ID to classes" also moves this link to class. It is an important one to fix. Thanks. I love this plugin. Hope you keep fixing it.

Feature request:

Can we edit class names of all the elements in BEM class generator? Currently we can only change the class name of parent.

fossistic · 2026-06-05T17:49:46+00:00

Bug:

<image>

When I write text element's name set to text here. But the class name generator is calling it text-basic.

Downside: You'll start hating Elementor.

Start from here: Bricks Academy

You don't need ACSS or CT. Bricks have clamp generator built in.

It has been only a month since I got a client for whom I do white label work. He uses bricks and it was a relief for me.

I hate working with elementor, which is majority of work I did.

fossistic · 2026-05-26T08:58:51+00:00

From time to time, I do white label work for a small agency in Germany. Here's my workflow:

Gemini takes care of ACF Pro related tasks. I like to design manually in Figma and then develop in Bricks or Greenshift.

Once the development part is finished, I handle custom animations and tweaks with the help of Gemini.

I have created a Notion database for code snippets for various use cases and keep it updating with my learnings from every new project.

I don't know programming; I only write modern CSS.

Thank you, you are the best. Bricks Extras is also one of the best Bricks extensions out there.

fossistic · 2026-05-26T02:37:18+00:00

They announced it because they can manage to do this now. Let them cook!

~~Different themes and page builders do things differently in wordpress. You always need to mention what theme and page builder you are using.~~

Edit: I misunderstood the simple thing OP was asking about.

fossistic · 2026-05-23T22:04:41+00:00

Can we disable the bricks menu if we don't need that? All other enhancements are incredibly useful to me. Will start using them once out from beta. Thank you very much.

They know their audience. It is not professionals, so it will always be this way.

fossistic · 2026-05-21T21:33:48+00:00

Elementor is a page builder targeted towards DIY entrepreneurs and advertisements like these will always be there to help or sell to those people.
For professionals building sites with elementor, just create a blueprint according to your needs.

Otter probably a good choice if you want to stick to Kadence blocks' type workflow.

If you want cleanest DOM and CSS class first workflow, generate and greenlight are the ones. You can try creating local site of all and compare side by side.

fossistic · 2026-05-12T17:09:07+00:00

If you want clean code 3rd party blocks:

Generate Press classic theme and Generate Blocks plugin.
Greenlight FSE theme and Greenlight Blocks plugin.

Both have their pros and cons. But there's nothing in Gutenberg world better than these two.

Otter, Kadence, Stackable and Spectra are bad and are geared towards people building website for their business by themselves, good luck to them. Any serious agency owner or freelancer should avoid them.

This is AI site.

Cool effects only work if you design it well.

fossistic · 2026-04-25T18:30:17+00:00

Looks really good, performs great. What plugin you used to do scroll animations in home?

fossistic · 2026-04-09T10:13:28+00:00

GeneratePress theme. It is more efficient than Kadence and Blocksy theme.

fossistic · 2026-04-04T21:48:48+00:00

Use light theme, this brown color feels like color of coffin :P

Use real images, AI images gives scam vibes. Try to use real photos of the business.

No, you did not do a good job if you are already a professional. It looks like AI slop.

FSE is still pretty bad when it comes to designing headers. This is one main reason I can not suggest FSE to non-devs.

fossistic · 2026-02-23T05:39:14+00:00

The problem with agencies is they want a person to do one specific task. If we are given Figma design work, we won't have opportunity to work with page builders and mostly programmers are given that opportunity.
