Hartwell review for Bloggle: Powerful Blog Builder

Jan. 9, 2026

Avoid this app – heavy, unreliable, and harmful to performance (especially on Eurus) This app is not compatible with the Eurus Shopify theme. After a theme update, the Bloggle editor turns completely black and becomes unusable. Support response is extremely slow — expect 1–2 weeks before anything happens, even for critical issues, while the subscription keeps billing. In addition to reliability issues, Bloggle introduces significant performance problems: Blog pages are slower than product and collection pages, despite using the same theme, images, and hosting Google PageSpeed confirms poor Core Web Vitals, especially LCP caused by Bloggle’s featured image handling Images are lazyloaded and not prioritized correctly for LCP Layout shifts occur because Bloggle images/content lack fixed dimensions A major architectural issue is how Bloggle handles images across posts: When using “related blogs”, the same image is reused with multiple generated URLs The same image can end up being loaded repeatedly across different blog pages This increases network requests, JS overhead, and DOM complexity unnecessarily The result is: Worse page speed Worse SEO signals More frontend bloat for what should be lightweight blog content For a paid app, this level of instability, performance degradation, and slow support is unacceptable. If you care about Core Web Vitals, SEO, or site speed — stay away.
