Performance Plugin Pack

Super happy with Scalability Pro, the support, and the results – sped up my imports by multiples.
I first came across Dave and his work speeding up large WordPress/WooCommerce sites by watching his Wordcamp presentation on scaling Woocommerce – before he had this official plugin. Having all of that expertise distilled into a plugin, it’s pretty amazing and the results speak for themselves. A+++++

Support is terrible no response for days I should have believed the other negative reviews waste of money. no chance of refund, I think. Shame seems like a good plugin.

Today put this tool on my website with 50,000+ products. The page loading times were really 10 to 20 seconds during imports via wpallimport. Set all steps and go through and now around 1 to 2.

What a great tool 🙂

BAD WEBSITE, BAD SUPPORT, BAD PLUGINS

I purchased the plugin, then I’ve installed it on my website and it did not do anything, literally nothing.

I’ve tried to contact the support and I did not receive any reply, Also I’ve tried to request a refund and no one contacted me.

This is a lie, be careful. DON’T DEAL WITH THIS WEBSITE.

Hi Dave,

the plugin is great, very fast and highly customisable. Would be great if it was compatible with Yith Brands Add-on. We have many brand pages and would like to use filters on brand pages as well, such as filter by categories and attributes, which is very important for a e-commerce site. 

REGARDS

Hey Dave, this works quite well on soundorabilia.com.

Cheers mate

I wait now over 1 Month for support. Nothing works, no support.

Please give me a refund.

Hello, I have submitted a few Q&A and a support ticket.

Can I please get a response?

Regards

Annie

Thanks, this plugin is excellent and does exactly what it says!

Our webhosting provider is one of those that offers ‘unlimited’ storage space, but in very tiny print states that there is a ‘technical’ limit on the number of files you can have in your account.

We use multi-channel listing software, and all our images are already uploaded to their own image servers, so it makes sense to use the images from there rather than have them uploaded to our website hosting as well.

Now with this plugin, I don’t need to worry about finding a new hosting provider or file storage limits, and concentrate instead on adding even more products to our Woo Shop.

Hello!
I have a wordpress e-commerce website and woocommer. My website has about 100k products x 288 variants. And recently, I often don’t have access to line items. So does your plugin optimize that? Thank you very much!

Hi,

For Woocommerce to have multiple image links, so that multiple images can be shown, will the plugin accommodate?

Also do you have any suggestions for any services that allow to upload product images along with a metadata like the SKU, which we can export to a csv/spreadsheet time to time to get the matching image URLs for a product SKU?

Bringing errors and no support

BUY AT OWN RISK.

If plugin does not work, creator becomes unresponsive to Emails and will not offer a refund as promised in Terms and Conditions. Beware..

I love how fucking fast External Images when I import a lot image without need the CDN server.

This is the third plugin i bought! Faster isn’t close to how fast woo widgets load! Excellent plugin!!!

Hi – I’m really sorry about the poor level of support the past week and a half. I’ve been relocating from Scotland to Greece.

I’ll contact you through our chat system regarding your refund.

As for the warning in the plugin, I think maybe you’re on an older version of the plugin? If so, please re-download the latest version from your account page since there was an older version which had a bug around the auto-update, so updates weren’t happening properly.

I usually avoid giving unfavourable reviews in public and prefer to contact the plugin authors in private as I do not wish to affect their business. However, I have no choice but need to resort to writing this review here.

This plugin author Dave provides extremely poor support. I had sent him many support request emails with no reply. This is vastly unlike other plugin authors who promptly reply and fix any issues within several hours.

This plugin persistently gives this error “Creating default object from empty value in /home/whi2/wp-content/plugins/auto-infinite-scroll/plugin-updates/plugin-update-checker.php on line 224 “.

Instead of fixing this problem, Dave told me to turn off the debug notice in wp-config.php. I had subsequently sent him many emails, asking if turning off the debug would be a risky measure and whether he intends to come up with a patch for this problem. He simply refuses to reply.

Dave, please issue me a refund. There are problems with several of your plugins and I am not getting technical support/help from you.

Thanks.

Bought external images and scalability pro. 5 stars for both of them. Thank you for these superb plugins which really boosted my website speed and product imports.

I can’t praise enough this plugin. It helped me scale my woocommerce site. Importing products now it’s a breeze! Scalability pro cut the importing time to half (i am also using external images). Also my site loads much much faster than previously! Next stop: super speedy search and faster woo widgets.
If you want to scale your woocommerce site don’t miss Dave’s plugins. They are a must.
Thanks Dave

I was looking to make my wordpress site faster. I ended buying/using scalability pro. Excellent product, amazing performance for my site. After importing thousands of products my server lagged due to the enormous amount of images that i imported. External images to the rescue!!!! With the external images i keep my server clean and my site super fast!!! No more unnecessary thumbnails.
By the way support from Dave is first class!! Top notch developer!! Top notch support!
Highly recommended plugin!!! AAA
Thanks Dave for the awesome plugins and support!!!!

Hi – thank you for your kind comments, and thank you for your help improving the plugin 🙂

Some time ago I bought this plugin and it always worked smoothly. Recently there were some WordPress updates and my website broke (probably because of the Gutenberg editor addition).

I contacted the support/developer (Dave) and in few days my problem was completely solved! The plugin is now even better than before and I’m sure it will keep improving.

To sum up, I definitely recommend this External Images plugin, by far the best in the market!

Hi – sorry for the delay – there’s an upgrade out today which should fix any issues you are experiencing.

I’m now working on documentation for External Images for the rare themes that do not use the correct functions to grab thumbnails etc – even with these themes, External Images will work but with those it will take a little modification to your child theme.

Unfortunately this plugin doesn’t work on my websites. I have asked for the refund and I’m waiting, but nobody is answering.

Sorry – my main support guy moved to another country so July/beginning of August was tough.

Extremely bad support! didn’t have any update or fedback for months. Created a Slack channel but the response rate is even poor than using email to communicate.

Since HTTPS became standart I was having trouble compiling with https rules on my woocommerce site, since my images are hosted on a non-https server. With External images my non-https images become https via proxy on my server.
Altough it did not work immediately as I install it due to a problem on my word press theme, great support from Dave and his team kicked in and solved the problem on the theme.
Great Plugin, Great Team, Great Support…
Many thanks!

I was originally after the scalability pro plugin with no interest in a plugin like Price Comparison Pro. Long story short I was blessed to have it fall in my lap. I never thought I could integrate a plugin like this in any of the sites I build. Now I am trying to build sites around it. Supper bad ass plugin that opens the doors to a lot of concepts you never knew were possible. Truthfully a must have for entrepreneurs.

It took me almost a year to find this plugin. I can truthfully say it is without question a must have if you have any intensions of scaling woocommerce. Not to mention awesome support the few issues I had because of my theme were taken care of by Dave himself. Not only did he fix the small issues with my theme he took the time via my request to touch up my database while he was in there. Thank again I am thankful for your help and putting up with my relentless questions. Utmost respect – joe miller

I’ve been looking for this kind of plugin to speed up my web for months . I have to admit It bothered me for a long time. And it’s so wired I didn’t find any one (no matter a free or paid one) until I watched the video of this plugin “external images” on youtube. At first, I thought this might be a plugin like others just supporting embedding pictures, not storing on remote vps. After watched the video, I knew this is the one I’ve been looking for. Now I can store all the pictures (thousands) on amazon s3 for my website, and don’t need to worry about the loading speed of my website. This is the best plugin ever!

This plugin is brilliant!!! Would give it 10 stars if I could. Brought the site loading times down to less than 2 seconds – was sitting at about 10 seconds before. Had a few problems with the configuration but the support was great and got me setup in no time. I highly recommend this plugin.

After already seeing huge speed increases with the Scalability Pro plugin I decided to purchase the rest of the plugins in the WPI Performance Pack, including this Auto Infinite Scroll plugin. Within a few minutes I had configured the wrapper parameters and I was up an running. It works perfectly!!

A great feature is when the user clicks on a product from the shop page and then clicks the “back” button this plugin remembers where they were on the shop page and saves them scrolling back down to where they were – this is something I’ve never seen before and I’ve used ALOT of infinite scrollers!

By combining the plugins from the WPIntense I now have a WordPress site with over 5k items on an average server with load times of under 3secs! I really can’t rate WPIntense enough. In a competitive online world customer experience is everything and WPIntense have realised this. Thanks for everything!

I’m truly sorry you had a bad experience with this plugin. I have many people using it successfully but there WAS an issue with certain themes/plugins if they loaded jQuery twice. This caused the plugin’s JavaScript code to fail which could in turn cause other JavaScript to fail.

I’ve recoded the way the JavaScript works in the plugin so that even if jQuery is loaded multiple times (a bad idea for many reasons) it will not break.

This plugin is fucking up my website, and support from WP intense is very poor…..

Works very well, noticeable results immediately.

Thanks Paul. It’s great to hear your feedback and I’m glad the plugin helps a lot. There’s more coming soon to shave more milliseconds off those page load speeds. In particular, I’ll be focusing on WP_Term_Query optimisations which are probably what are taking up the last of your slow load. (I consider 2s to still be slow)

My client site has about 10k products variations. Page loading time was around 10s, and by adding this plugin and doing a quick setup by following the guide, the WooCommerce pages now load in 2s. Still a bit more tweaking to do on my side with a few different options, but this plugin took my client site from being useless (yes a 10s load time for product pages renders your site useless!) to very useful 😉

Thanks for the great plugin and support!

Awesome plugin from an awesome developer.
This is just one of the best plugins for price comparison works very well plus the support is just great. you actually feel you are working with the developer and He gives you great guidance on how to configure the plugin. However, more documentation is needed, I am sure this will came with time though. Great Job

Hi – thanks for the detailed review.

Regarding missing filters – there was a bug introduced in the last version which caused this error on some setups, to do with adding the manual sorting functionality.

A fix has been coded up and is ready to be deployed, I’m just adding compatibility with the WooBrands plugin before I deploy.

re: Match against search (instead of like) this functionality was removed from Scalability Pro and has been added to a separate plugin called Super Speed Search which everyone who has purchased Scalability Pro to date will get for free. This new plugin is almost ready and is so fast that the search results update using ajax as you type (tested on 800,000+ product reference site).

Sorry about the delay with these releases – I’ve been working on making super speedy search as compatible as possible with as many themes as possible.

Yes it works in multisite but it may not yet optimise everything – I’m working on this.

I’m unsure about Ajax Search Pro – if it uses, presumably it does, the WP_Query object to perform its search, then these will be replaced by Scalability Pro with a full text search which is faster and more accurate.

If any of these things do not work to your satisfaction, I will fix them for you or refund you.

Yes it alters the WooCommerce text search to use the MATCH operator and a fulltext index rather than the awful default of the LIKE operator.

That means faster and more accurate free-text search results.
