 * This is a javascript application that runs in the client’s browser. The e-commerce
   store’s HTML is created in the client’s browser, not by WordPress, selecting 
   products and navigating between products is done in the client’s browser, independent
   of WordPress, the current URL and current title is updated in the client’s browser,
   not by WordPress. This is only a “WordPress plugin” in the sense that WordPress
   adds the e-commerce store’s javascript to the content area of one page – everything
   else happens in the client’s browser. All product data is located on another 
   website, not in your WordPress database. If you’re hoping to use an SEO plugin
   with this, or for any plugin or theme to get any information from this plugin’s
   products, forget it.

 * Hi,
   This is Ecwid support team. Thank you for your feedback!
 * Let me address your concerns:

 * Ecwid stores are indeed hosted on Ecwid servers, not on WordPress. However, Ecwid
   store added to WordPress is still a part of a WordPress site. When you add Ecwid
   to a WordPress site, the store embeds into the page source code and the store
   elements become a part of DOM. You can find store elements, SEO tags, JSON and
   Microdata markup in the page source code, and Google bots are able to find and
   crawl such pages.
 * We use different technologies including JavaScript in order to improve page surfing
   and speed up the checkout. Clients don’t have to wait for the page to load each
   time they navigate between store pages. Also, we recently released new features
   that improved the load speed of Ecwid stores and Google PageSpeed Insights scores.
 * > All product data is located on another website, not in your WordPress database.
 * We use cloud-based solution because it has several advantages:
    - Ecwid is independent of site hosting. We use reliable and secure servers to
      store Ecwid data and CDN that provides fast delivery of content to clients.
      In case of any security breaches on your WordPress site, the store data will
      be intact.
    - We regularly scan Ecwid for breaches and protect this information with software
      updates and backups of your stores’ information.
    - Ecwid plugin is light and doesn’t take much space on your hosting account.
      So you won’t need to pay for expensive hosting additionally in case you have
      a lot of products since all data are stored on the Ecwid side.
 * > If you’re hoping to use an SEO plugin with this, or for any plugin or theme
   > to get any information from this plugin’s products, forget it.
 * You can get store data for developing custom integrations via Ecwid API. Here’s
   the link to our API documentation: [](https://api-docs.ecwid.com/reference/overview)
   [https://api-docs.ecwid.com/reference/overview](https://api-docs.ecwid.com/reference/overview).
 * Regarding SEO, Ecwid is compatible with various WordPress SEO plugins, and it
   has its own features that automatically add SEO tags to the store pages’ source
   code. If you would like to change SEO data for your products and categories, 
   you can do it in the Ecwid admin account.
 * May I ask if there is any plugin/theme that you use and that is incompatible 
   with Ecwid? Please, let me know what issue you faced and we’ll check how it can
   be fixed. Thank you!
 * Looking forward to hearing from you!
