I use Bricksbuilder 1.9.2 and the rest are the latest versions.
I haven’t been using Bricksbuilder that long, but I’m very enthusiastic about Pagebuilder. I’ve been using Eelementor for years and you always have to have a caching plugin like WP Rocket. Now I use WP Rocket with Bricksbuilder and unfortunately I have to realize that any kind of changes in Bricksbuilder are not immediately visible in the frontend. I always have to clear the cache first. Elementor used to have the same issue. Will this be solved in Bricksbuilder also? I have read something about this on the internet, but that was a long time ago. I also have this issue with other caches like WP fastest Cache, WP Super Cache etc… Does anyone have a workaround?
I also came from the pagebuilder with E in the beginning of the name, and there I had to use WPRocket to get the page speed into at least acceptable speed levels.
Now with Bricks, I don’t even use WPRocket anymore as I get a speed rating of 99% at PageSpeed Insights. The only optimization plugins I now use are “Performance Lab” (free) and “WP Meteor” (free).
And without WPRocket, I don’t have that issue with the caching anymore.
Secondly, with Bricks, I was able to remove around 20 (!) plugins that I had to use with the other builder. So I am very happy to have lost all these plugins as Bricks can do most of it itself and for the rest there are available hooks and filters that can be used.
So in that respect, Bricks is fast. Very fast.
So just try Bricks without WPRocket and you will be very positively surprised, believe me.
thanks for your reply. I’ve tried your recommendations, but they don’t work very good as well like WP Rocket. I have got bad result on GTMetrix and Pagespeed insight. WP Rocket will be still my favorite caching plugin. You’re right, Bricksbuilder is much faster than Elementor and has a good speed result without a caching plugin, but with a caching like WP Rocket you can optimize the good result to a perfect result. I also agree with you that the Bricksbuilder is much better than Elementor in many aspects. I still have to learn more about some things, but I already favor the Builder. They have created a very good alternative. Nevertheless, the issue with manually deleting the cache remains.
I haven’t used WP Rocket so forgive me if this doesn’t apply, does it have an option to clear cache on post updates? Because at the end of the day, the bricks templates are still posts, so I believe it should clear the cache when the template (post) is saved?
The problem is probably caused by the fact that Bricks is executed in the front end. If you exclude the builder, changes should be directly visible. The parameter for this is ?bricks=run
Something like this should work: /(.*)/?bricks=run
sorry, I don’t understand the logic right now, if I exclude the Bricksbuilder, then I can also remove the caching plugin, because the pages are all created with Bricks. Just an example, if I change the navigation, i.e. add a menu item, then it is only displayed when I delete the cache. I have also looked for it in WP Rocket when something is updated that the cache is deleted. I think I have seen something like this in WP Rocket. When I look for it now, I can’t find the setting.
You don’t need to cache the “builder version” of the page which is why @timmse mentioned to exclude it. This does not exclude the page itself that users would visit.
Sorry, I misunderstood you. I have tried your tip. Is that OK if you save to WP Rocket and the /(.*)/ remains? Normally the parameters should have been left in as well, right? But for security reasons it is escaped.
Normally it does, but apparently WP Rocket has changed something here. As far as I remember it used to work, but it looks like WP Rocket has outsourced the query strings:
