Scalpa Shop review for GemPages Landing Page Builder

July 15, 2020

I have been using GemPages for about a year now and I am beyond frustrated. Our Gempage load time is Over 20 seconds per page. All images optimized. The more pages we made the slower our site became and it wasn't until it was too late that we found the issue. I wish I could post the screenshot of our page load waterfall. Take 8 seconds for gem pages to load, Before... any other script will load. Support was no help at all. In fact they tried to say it wasn't gem pages fault when they could clearly see the 8 seconds of GemPages as #1 load. Still they try to blame JS and 3rd party apps. This is not the case and it is clear to anyone. Use this app if you only need to create one or two pages. Not if you are creating more. Let me explain how bad this is. When I try to search for a file in the theme directory, the page crashes. Gem pages create a system that every page you create will be a new page template file within your theme directory. We we have hundreds of pages and it is has completely crippled our website. But, gempages does not care.
