Hi there,
I am about to move from Elementor to Bricks for all my client websites.
I’m choosing to migrate to Bricks primarily for the techstack being super lightweight. If I add Bricks Forge and Next Bricks to my techstack, will the websites still be super lightweight and fast? I am looking at buying the lifetime plan for all 3 of these so want to make sure that if I do this for all websites then I’ll still be producing rapid sites and having these 3 wont slow anything down.
Let me know your thoughts please!
Thanks
Hi there 
Thanks for reaching out!
While I can’t speak for NextBricks as I haven’t used it myself, I can tell you that Bricksforge is built with performance in mind. The plugin is modular, so you can selectively enable only the features you need. Only the code for the active modules is loaded — and even then, only when it’s actually used on the page.
So if you’re planning to use Bricks in combination with Bricksforge, you can absolutely continue to build fast, lightweight websites 
Depending on the module, however, the page naturally requires certain resources, for example when rendering 3D models or similar. But that’s self-explanatory 
Let us know if that helps!
Kind regards
Heyho
I’ve also purchased lifetime licenses for Bricksbuilder, Bricksforge, and NextBricks. So far, I’ve only used NextBricks on one website. I originally purchased it as a kind of Swiss army knife to have in my toolkit—just in case a client came along with very specific or advanced requirements. But in reality, most of my client needs (probably 99%) have been fully covered by Bricksbuilder and Bricksforge alone, so there simply hasn’t been much need to use NextBricks so far.
One thing I really appreciate is that both NextBricks and Bricksforge allow you to selectively enable only the features you actually want to use. In NextBricks, for example, you can activate specific components like the Ripple Button v3, custom menus, text animations, and so on. In Bricksforge, you also have full control over which modules are active, so unused functionality doesn’t get loaded. This helps keep everything lean and optimized.
That said, I think it really comes down to how selectively you use the features from Bricksforge and especially NextBricks. If you activate a wide range of elements and use many of them on a single page—like sliders, cursor effects, text animations, and so on—that will naturally have more impact on performance than using just one or two of them in a very targeted way. As with any plugin, the more frontend effects you load, the more resources are involved.
In my one project where all three tools are in use, I’m getting a Pagespeed score of 85 on desktop. However, since this is the only project where I’ve used Bricksbuilder, Bricksforge, and NextBricks together, it’s hard to draw clear conclusions about performance impact. The score could just as well be influenced by other factors like several self-hosted videos (currently five) and some fairly elaborate animations. Still, considering the visual complexity, I’m quite happy with the result so far.
