Gutenberg is a block-based page builder released with WordPress version 5.0 and boasts a minimalist user interface for an easier experience. Furthermore, it integrates well with many plugins available and includes various content blocks for use.
Elementor, on the other hand, is a comprehensive page builder offering more advanced tools and features. With an intuitive user interface and everything needed to build an impressive website (front-end editing, workflow optimization, landing page creation and integration with marketing tools) Elementor boasts both a free version and additional premium add-ons.
Both Gutenberg and Elementor aim to provide an intuitive editing experience, featuring side panels where users can select elements they wish to insert in particular sections of a webpage before dragging and dropping them into place. Elementor stands out as being more user-friendly compared to Gutenberg; with more advanced content blocks readily available and being simpler when adding new ones; more intuitive moving previous placed blocks around; plus support for custom coding!
Note that both Gutenberg and Elementor can be powerful tools, they should not be used to build complex websites. To create engaging and responsive sites that engage visitors and adhere to SEO best practices, premium themes with managed CDN-powered hosts should be used along with premium CDN hosting packages that ensure pages load at acceptable speeds without adversely impacting SEO efforts.
Gutenberg and Elementor both provide fast performance, though Gutenberg may edge ahead due to not adding extra HTML codes or plugins compared to Elementor. If using an older WordPress theme with lots of widgets and plugins, however, Gutenberg may take longer to work as intended – in which case, upgrading your host or switching themes might be the way forward in order to maximize performance of your site.
