Support doesn’t work at all anymore

by mikekdd9·1 month ago

Since the introduction of AI support, nothing works anymore. I’ll probably have to switch to an alternative where they actively take care of their customers. What a shame…

Support has become very poor

by klaushein·5 months ago

Unfortunately, the support has become very neglectful. Either they rarely respond or they haven’t gotten back for weeks. Very disappointing!

Incredible Plugin

by Vassos Hadjivassiliou·7 months ago

This is an incredible plugin. I am not sure why nobody talks about this. I found it accidentally. Give it a try. It is a WPRocket alternative.

Took our site down

by tispratik·1 year ago·2 replies

The plugin has landlines in it. There was a particular setting about loopback which I flipped on and the site went down!! It is going into infinite redirects.

This page isn’t working
enthu.com redirected you too many times.
ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS

Not heard from support yet, its been 10+ hours now.
