Why Ecwid Ecommerce Widget SUCKS! (Part 1)

The Webmaster Presents
why his 12 year experience with Ecwid SUCKS. There are many good things about Ecwid, which was once more for no POS (no physical point of sale premises), online only individual online ecommerce entrepreneurs, mostly doing solo businesses - but now Lightspeed has taken over Ecwid, the Admin CPO, Loding Times, and SEO has become a shambles, with features going missing on every update, attempting to remnove what was offerend in your terms of service on signup (against the law in US), and slyly trying to upsell aps and addons to you (highly overpriced and mostly useless and as trustworthy as a burglar). The dashboars and 'product number per page feature is already removed, and they do not even have a buyilt in newsletter, preferring you to sign u to and log in to an external paid newsletter (Mailchimp affiliates)m which charges more than Ecwid itself for the basic monthly subscription! Greedy, unresponsive to complaints, and evidently unable to even design their own text editor, which is an old MCE from way back in the days of HTM4 transitional, and uses span instead of p tags bearching chtml data rules of the W3C. In al, the product editor is a third party cheapo solution proving Ecwid, having sold for 50,000,000, is too stingy to even develop their own text/product editor that is up to the pesent state of the art. Shopify, Wix, and all others such as Big Commerce, have their own, as does wordpress. Blog each product on your website, as Google cannot read the products in Ecwid properly. Proved by the fact that a direct Google search for one of my product titles brings up a top search result in a different website to my store (another of my pages, but which should not take higher SEO for
the product title because Ecwid )
http://mastertheweb.is set to declare my site at ancientamulet dot com as main site, not luangphor dot com. This shows that wordpress SEO is good with certin themes, but not that Ecwid has anything to do with Google finding my products. Absolute rubbish. It used to be the be the best ecommerce solution with Ecwid, a small team, very engages=d with their customers needs, and innovative. Now it is merely a complacent company in the shadow of an umbrella company, in decline, as its' new owners, do not have a clue about non point of sale internaional digital nomads who make money online with non registered company, online only businesses, which do bot belong to any taxable nation. The loading times of products on frontend, slow your site down from 2 seconds to up to 15-30 seconds, making Google hate your site, as wlel as products and sales pages in CP loading in up to 30 seconds! with a 500-1000 MBPS internet speed! DO NOT RISK ECWID. You will be imprisoned within an environment you, into a different software you cannot escape from with cvs product feed exports, unless you re-download images, copy and paste product by product into your other software/website. Don't Risk it until Lightspeed figure out how to succeed with their new product, that is foreign to their corporate approach
