Too Slow. Needs improvements. Poor communications.

  • DO NOT BUY IF YOUR TABLE HAS MORE THAN 5 ROWS.

    I bought a lifetime pro version. The plugin is easy to install and the tables are decent. However, I am giving it a 1-star rating because as your table grows, it becomes very slow and doing anything on it becomes a waiting game.

    The plugin needs to improve in the following areas:

    1. It is slow. Every time a add, edit or cancel anthing on a cell, it takes 45 seconds or more to respond. It has taken me over 1 day of work to do a simple 30×3 table
    2. Text cells appear pre-populated with “Table Data” instead of empty. I have to erase it and it takes an additional 45 to 60 seconds or more to respond.
    3. It would be nice to have functions to copy complete rows and columns.
    4. Adding a new row is not very efficient. There is no function to add a new row. You have to add a new cell and then turn on the New Row switch. Not intuitive at all.
    5. I was under the impression that I could add icons and pictures in the same row with text. Not possible.
    6. There is no documentation on the website.
    7. Customer support is not present. I sent two emails via the support link on the administration page, and there was no answer at all. I feel like there is no one to look at the emails.

    Hi @sotonets, The slowness you’re experiencing is due to the architecture of Elementor. When multiple repeaters are added, it can slow down the editor. However, this only affects the editing process; the page load speed for visitors remains fast. Here’s a detailed response to your suggestions:

    1. We’re actively working on a fix. The issue is tied to Elementor, specifically when using multiple tabs in the builder, which can slow down the editor. This slowdown is only during editing; your live site and preview won’t be affected.
    2. We’ve added sample text so users can easily spot it in the live preview.
    3. Unfortunately, Elementor has limitations that prevent us from implementing repeaters within repeaters. We would like to provide this functionality to separate row and column, but it’s restricted by Elementor’s current capabilities.
    4. Similar to point 3, this limitation in Elementor prevents us from offering the feature, even though we’d like to.
    5. You can display icons and pictures within the same row using the rich text editor. If you provide an example, we’d be happy to consider adding another layout option.
    6. We are working on the documentation part.
    7. We’ve replied to both of your emails. If you haven’t seen our responses, please check your spam folder.

    If you encounter performance issues with very large tables, feel free to reach out to us at [email protected], and we’ll assist you to build it.
