VikingVogue review for Booster: Page Speed Optimizer

July 16, 2023

I will structure this review as it will be a bit longer and more into depth of how the app works. Overview: After spending substantial time working with the app I've come to appreciate its potential as an SEO tool. It certainly aids in SEO, yet it is essential to note that it doesn't entirely replace manual work. While the app automates some tasks, these tasks typically only take between 10 to 40 seconds per product to accomplish manually. Customer Support: 5/5 The customer support experience with Booster deserves a perfect rating. The support team is not only responsive but also extremely helpful. Their proficiency, however, could use some improvement when it comes to the specifics of SEO. The App itself: 3/5 The functionality is crucial to discuss. It quickly becomes apparent that once you start using the app in earnest, it becomes an integral part of your online store's operation, almost to the point of being irreplaceable. This permanent fixture results from the design, which encourages you to conduct all your SEO work within its framework. For instance, all overridden meta data is stored in a "booster config" metafield by the app. This structure has a significant implication: If you decide to uninstall the app, the "booster config" metafield is also removed, thereby erasing all your hard work. As a result, you would need to redo all the SEO adjustments manually. In conclusion, while the app has some valuable features, it comes with a critical limitation: the potential loss of your manual work if you choose to uninstall the app. Despite this, if you're looking for an app to streamline some of your SEO tasks and you're willing to stay with it for the long haul, it could be a viable option.
