How we compare
We read each competitor’s own website and WordPress.org page, quote what they say and link to it, with the day we read it. Speed is measured, never claimed: the same test page in a clean WordPress, each plugin’s free version at its defaults, the median of five mobile Lighthouse runs and five page loads. Method and every figure: builders, 2026-10-01 and block plugins, 2026-10-04.
