“Our intention is to provide useful companion plugins that serve specific purposes.”
But what if that interferes with the current setup? This is only convenient for you guys to make more money with other plugins. For every sane user, it is not normal and would rather be considered malware.
In matter of fact, i’m pretty sure this is not allowed under the GPDR, since it is an op-out as you just said.
The real problem is that these extra plugins were automatically installed on several wordpress websites when performing updates via the WordPress Toolkit in Plesk. There was no human confirmation for an opt-in, therefore making it illegal in the EU. Allot of the websites that we had updated were configured months / years ago. But all of a sudden, there was WPForm installed as well?!?!? In my book, that is pure malware. Only to benefit the corporate greed.
So yeah, “Our goal is to provide helpful starter tools for popular and related needs, while also giving you the option to uncheck or uninstall them if you are already using alternative solutions.”, is a lie. You install something the user probably doesn’t even realize it is installing, which can result in errors on existing parts of the website. A user with lacking knowledge can destroy it’s website and not even knowing why, until it’s to late and many form entries are gone for example. That is not helping anyone.
What you guys are doing is illegal, stop it now or i will report it to WordPress and the European Union. They are really fond on these kind of cases… What you are doing might be legal in India, but not here.
All in all. Corporate greed took over for them, they are only trying to help themself, which is all fine, so people know and can stay away from it.
Maby focus on fixing this bug: https://www.cvedetails.com/cve/CVE-2023-3213/ if you want to help all off your “dear users”, instead of installing malware.I just checked our VPS, and this shit plugin is now installed on every website that has WP Mail SMTP without our consent (50+ websites). Thanks guys! Now i can work 4 more hours to fix your greed.
This plugin is just malware now i guess. Beware people! They will install everything on your website as long as this is commercially viable for THEM.
I will report this as Malware, since it installs a extra plugin without our consent. This is highly illegal in my country, so i will fill in a claim for you guys.
See you in court Syed Balkhi!Well by the response and tone i already now that you have barely a clue on how websites work. You’re probably one of them “webdevelopers” that pretend to be capable of making websites, while you are not. But hey, easier to blame someone else right for your missing knowledge?! As someone with 20+ years experience in websites, software and apps, i’ve seen more then enough of your type of “webdevelopers”. I replaced allot of those websites that had a plugin for every problem.
Elementor is a backend tool to generate the front end in a quick and easy way. In the Editor you will be generating HTML, CSS and JS depending on the widgets you use. This will be shown on the front-end.
The first rule to optimize everything, is making everything as it should, using best practices and know what you’re doing. I don’t assume you know the basics of HTML, CSS (3), JS and PHP because you know for sure it’s Elementors fault…. but cant fix it. Start with learning this. Will only take a few years to become an expert.
Another very important step is to get a good server that has enough resources. We use only the best of the best, because we want the best of the best results. So get a VPN with Litespeed servers and then install the Litespeed Plugin (Free, but only work as intended with a Litespeed server). Read the entire documentation so you know what to do and what setting does what. (Took me 3 days) After this, our performance went up from +- 50 pagespeed / seo score to 90+. Especially the webp converter and the auto crawler are very important.
Make sure you make the websites in Elementor with the “Flexbox container” option. And maby the most important one is, don’t solve every problem with a plugin. Only use the plugins that you need. If you have installed more then 20+ plugins, you lost, try again. I made extremely complicated webshops with Elementor + Crocoblock, with only 8 plugins.
Few examples that have 90+ scores:
– https://handgemaaktbrood.nl
– https://myfloorshop.nl/
– https://fysiotrainingweesp.nl/
– https://stekkersnel.nl/
So before blaming Elementor, try blaming yourself.Yeah, thats not really true tho. We use Elementor for 100+ websites, we reached .4s load time for the newer sites and always have 95+ SEO score (Mostly 100).
Most people just don’t understand how to optimize their website properly, but that hasn’t anything to do with Elementor. When the site is crawled and cached, Elementor is out of the picture.
