Installation

The plugin can be added by downloading it from our WordPress listing or by searching directly in the plugin directory from your WordPress admin dashboard.

Using The Plugin For Initial Ezoic Integration:

The Ezoic plugin can be used on its own for initial Ezoic integration. It is NOT recommended as a long-term integration method.

Sites can follow setup directions inside their Ezoic dashboard upon login to finish setting up Ezoic after integration is complete.

Ezoic recommends switching to Cloud integration

Ezoic’s plugin is best utilized alongside Cloud integration (via Cloudflare or by changing your nameservers at your host or registrar)

Setting up Ad Tester Placeholders:

Ezoic’s WordPress plugin allows you to easily set up and adjust ad placeholders based on Ezoic’s best practices.

The following guide will walk you through installing, activating and updating your placeholder setup within the Ezoic WordPress Plugin:

Leap Optimization:

It is recommended you install the Ezoic plugin to maximize performance while using Leap.

Cloud Integration is required to ensure the best performance when using Ezoic Leap. Without Cloud integration in place most of Leap’s features and the plugin’s benefits will not be available.

Note: Installing and activating the Ezoic Plugin will not change your integration method if you are already Cloud Integrated.

• Step 1: Download the Ezoic Plugin found here: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/ezoic-integration

• Step 2: Navigate to the “Plugins” section of your WordPress dashboard

• Step 3: Complete the setup by activating the Plugin

Using the super-fast Ezoic Cloud for caching and page loading:

You will need to enable API access to the Ezoic Cloud to utilize caching features inside your site’s WordPress admin. This is located in the settings tab of the Ezoic user dashboard.

Note: WordPress integrated sites are unable to use Ezoic Cloud caching unless they are Cloud Integrated.

Once you have your API key from your Ezoic dashboard, it can be added to your Ezoic plugin settings inside the site’s WordPress admin dashboard under Ezoic > CDN settings.

Huge Waste of Time

FAOU July 18, 2024

Ezoic wastes a bunch of your time trying to force you to do bizarre stuff like change your nameservers just to put up some ads. As soon as I installed the plugin, Ezoic blocked our account saying for “content.” Our site is a very professional and high-quality site. It has just been a terrible experience with the service from Ezoic’s support to Ezoic’s plugin.

Frustrating Experience: Ezoic Plugin Slows Down and Breaks Websites

ashifahmed June 5, 2023

I regret to share my disappointing experience with the Ezoic Plugin. Unfortunately, instead of enhancing my website’s performance and monetization, it had the opposite effect, causing significant issues that severely impacted user experience. First and foremost, the Ezoic Plugin drastically slowed down my website. Pages that used to load quickly now take an agonizingly long time to display content, leading to frustrating delays for my visitors. This sluggishness has undoubtedly contributed to a decrease in user engagement and potential conversions. To make matters worse, the plugin’s installation broke various elements of my site. I encountered numerous glitches and compatibility issues that resulted in distorted layouts, broken links, and overall degraded functionality. This not only compromised the visual appeal of my website but also negatively affected its usability and credibility. Despite trying different configurations and seeking support from Ezoic, the issues persisted. The promised benefits of increased revenue and improved ad placement were overshadowed by the continuous problems caused by this plugin. It has left me with a sense of frustration and a need to find an alternative solution to rectify the damage done. Considering the detrimental impact on site performance and the numerous technical glitches encountered, I cannot recommend the Ezoic Plugin to fellow website owners. It falls short of its intended purpose, and the drawbacks far outweigh any potential benefits. I strongly urge others to explore alternative options that prioritize site speed and stability, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable user experience for visitors.

Could not disable plugin

expirator April 2, 2023

I installed this plugin and then decided not to use it. I tried to deactivate the plugin but it would not deactivate! I tried all sorts of things, but nothing would make it inactive and thus uninstallable. I was forced to revert to backup. Very annoying

Ezoic is one of the best ad platform I have ever seen

Ezoicrap Forced to watch a useless video after signing up on their site in order to continue to the next page, then only to find out my one and only option is to change my nameservers? And there is no delete my account option on their website?Wasted my time. And just installing the plugin (no activation) causes my WordPress website to die.Trash. Absolute Trash.
