Slow downs your website

    This plugin severely slowed down our website. It generated excessive traffic and pings, eventually leading to a server error. We suspect it’s related to their built-in advertising network, as intrusive, spam-like ads started appearing directly in the WordPress dashboard. Once we deactivated the plugin, the site returned to normal performance.

    If your website suddenly becomes sluggish, Element Pack might be the reason. We’ve now blacklisted this plugin in our company’s internal guidelines.

    As a general rule, any plugin that constantly maintains a connection to an advertising network is a red flag — and that seems to be exactly what’s happening here. Whether it’s due to an exploit or poor design, the constant ad activity has completely backfired. In our experience, this is one of the worst plugins we’ve used. It looks legitimate and has plenty of positive reviews, but in reality, it brought our site to a halt and cost us valuable time troubleshooting.

    Some negative reviews already has mentioned the speed issue here, so be aware.

    Hi ullsai,

    Thank you for your kind feedback. We want to inform you that the Element Pack is heavy because it has more than 300+ features, which is the matter. But everyone doesn’t require 300+ features.
    However, don’t worry about that. We have a great, easy solution to make it faster.

    1. We have a Widget Analytics feature on the plugin dashboard, simply you can deactivate all unused widgets to make it faster.

    1. By default our widget loads single CSS & JS files for the individual widget. In this case please use any kind of cache plugin to marge them on single files. But if you don’t want to use the cache plugin and want to load a single file from Element Pack, we also have another great feature for this problem. We have the Assets Manager feature on our plugin to merge all files dynamically to single files. That’s all.

      That’s the simple way to make Element Pack faster.

    Thanks for understanding.
    Have a good day.
    Best Regards,
    Hasib Ali
