Hi @chaosheld
Thank you for sharing your concerns, and I deeply regret hearing about the frustrations you’ve experienced. I understand how upsetting it can be when a plugin doesn’t meet your expectations and disrupts your workflow.
Regarding performance, I’d like to assure you that our team continuously optimizes Essential Addons to provide the best performance. Based on our testing, only the widgets used on a specific page load their assets. However, if you’ve noticed otherwise, I’d truly appreciate it if you could share details about which widgets are being loaded unnecessarily. This will help us investigate and address the issue promptly.
Additionally, I want to clarify that our widgets are not enabled by default unless there’s a dependency. However, I understand that unexpected changes can be frustrating, so we’ll carefully review this feedback to ensure improvements in our future updates. Also, we’ve built a Global Control feature that allows users to enable or disable specific widgets easily. You can check out how it works here: Global Control Demo.
Regarding the notices you mentioned, all our notifications are dismissible, and there’s even an option to prevent them from reappearing entirely. Here’s a quick demonstration on managing notices: Notice Management Demo.
Additionally, even our important notices about the latest releases can be permanently dismissed. You can close them, and they will not appear again. Here’s a demonstration
Your feedback is valuable to us, and we genuinely appreciate the opportunity to improve. If you’re open to sharing specifics about the performance concerns or which pages/widgets are causing issues, we’ll treat this as a top priority and work toward resolving it.
Thank you for taking the time to provide your thoughts, and I hope we can help address your concerns to improve your experience.
Best regards,
Pial
