Don’t use – terrible performance and code

  • Easy to install and configure and I love the interface plus on initially looking, it looks to be great, but dig into the code and the notification bar’s performance impact on any website and it’s shocking.

    I have noticed a number of issues related to impact on page load speeds, teh notification bar lingers over header bars in some scenarios and if you take a closer look when using certain options, if you say turn off the button the button is hidden, but whats bad is teh code, the link etc. is all left in the DOM and if that link went to a promotional page thtat you haev now taken offline for edxample and jsut hide the button, then Google can still see the link for example in the code even though its hidden and then still tries to index teh linked page taht no longer exists.

    Sloppy coding which could be fixed rather easily, but this is just one small point of many identified.

    The impact is so much, that as soon as I disable teh plugin our traffic volume and form conversions immediatly start to increase again.

    Hi @stevenwillett ,

    Sorry but this is a big surprise and perhaps the very first time ever that we would be getting this sort of complaints about our simple, handy and light-weight plugin.

    But as it seems this is only happening on your website so far!
    I would urge you to not use the review section for reporting technical issues, rather reach our dev team via the thread to offer more visible details about the issue and get it fixed for you asap here:

    Looking forward to hearing back from you!

    Regards,
    Bruce
