Unicher review for Avada SEO Speed Image Optimize
Oct. 15, 2024
This is a terrible piece of software. Do not use any of its features. Without your knowledge, it can delete all your store's images and content, and the site you worked so hard to build will be gone. Additionally, using its features requires the manual operation of their customer service staff. The ridiculous part is that their staff member, Penelope, kept asking me for my URL without explaining what she needed it for. After finally getting it, she went off duty… Then another person took over, wasting more time. In short, do not use this software under any circumstances.
Hello Unicher store owner, I sincerely apologize for the unsatisfactory experience you had with Penelope during support. We acknowledge that she could have handled the situation better by addressing your questions correctly without going back and forth and following up more effectively. She takes full responsibility for this, and she wants to personally apologize for the inconvenience caused. We’ve taken steps to ensure better communication and avoid unnecessary delays and confusion in the future. Regarding the loss of images, after thoroughly reviewing the situation, we can confirm this issue was not caused by the app. According to the app's history, you used the Speed Up feature on a duplicate theme, which was not published, meaning no changes were made to your live site. Additionally, the Free plan only allows for the Basic Speed Up mode, which has minimal impact and cannot cause such issues. Furthermore, once the app was disabled, all its features were deactivated, yet the problem persisted, indicating that the issue was unrelated to the app and merely a coincidence. As for the misunderstanding about using the app's features, please note that all of our features come with detailed user guides, allowing users to configure them on their own. Customer service is only there to assist when necessary, but manual operation from our team is not required for using the app's features. We are glad to hear that your website has now returned to normal. Moving forward, we'd really like to turn your negative experience around – we wholeheartedly believe in this app and our customer-centric approach. SEO is undoubtedly a long-term strategy, and while it can be challenging for stores to see immediate results, it’s a process that requires time to yield outcomes. Since your store has launched recently, I believe there is room for improvement and plenty of opportunities for success. We are here to help ensure you get the most out of the app. Best regards, Esther Customer Success Lead
