It was very well for the free version. I still have to try to Pro.

Not as user-friendly as hoped for, some features are difficult to understand, but still very good

Well done for creating an optimisation plugin which materially slowed my site down. Tested on pingdom before and after multiple times and with every optimisation switched on my site was significantly slower with Hummingbird.

devo ancora capire alcuni meccanismi delle opzioni avanzate, ma direi che finalmente ho trovato una cache che funziona

Let me start by saying, I love WPMUDEV, I have loved them and been with them a very long time now. The tech support is second to none and 24/7. With out them I’d be toast. I went with them because of that and the fact they have very alluring plug ins and hummingbird is one of them. I have dealt with humming bird and Smush off and on well over 5 years now. It has been an absolute hell. Humming bird will crash your site and has hundreds of on off features. The “only” way to know which one will affect you is to turn it on, wait for it to propagate and check it and then on to the next. This can take weeks. Then you have a plugin update and the hunt to find what is causing the site to crash is on. 9/10 you can just turn off hummingbird and it goes away. THEN you have to do the same crap all over again. turn one feature off, wait, propagate, check and onto the next one. This is like pulling your own toe nails out and at a snails pace. Another problem is hummingbird causes the entire back end to load SUPER SLOW! Talk about anxiety!! I have a few sites with Woocommerce and similar templates, so now you have your work cut out for you. So then you get on tech support. They tell you what I just told you, and they will take a look at it and if you get a great tech they can even fix a few things. However with extreme limitations.
So now they introduce a new feature. For 400 bucks you can hire there certified humming bird specialist. WOW, so yes the plugin is free, but I also pay over 75.00 per site per month and have done so for years.
I had to upgrade my plan to make the back end faster loading for my main site, which did absolutely nothing. Meanwhile I do have several paid cloudflare accounts and it hit me today. Isnt that enough? So I turned humming bird off and guess what? Just using cloudlfare my site loads like a wild banji with its ass on fire. WHAT A TRIP!!!! and My back end now loads super fast. It was hummingbird the entire time!!
Counteless broken pages, countless security issues, countless cart issues and countless other problems. My file for support is ginormas and it all came down to one plugin. Humming bird.
How did I learn all of this finally? I got a Semrush account and scanned my site. Hummingbird CSS and java scripts errors all over the place. It was clashing with Woo and everything else and they had told me I need a new theme and was literally in the middle of painstakingly moving the website. Countless hours and thousands of dollars out the window and they want 400 to have there team set it up, but what happens when it updates or another plugin updates? Anotehr problem is HB and CF both have many of the same features. and it is up to you to determine which is on with one and the other. To many caches. You have them on the server side and on the website and on CF. TO MANY CACHE! Then if you have already compressed your photos and turn it on, guess what, they are super blurred and double compressed. Also if you ever delete it or move later, now you have to go back and compress them all. Dont be lazy and just compress them before you ad them.
Conclusion:
If you are using a blog, or a simple site, sure, use the freebies/paid. If you are like me and take it serious/ecommerce stay far far away. The majority sites out there are not e-commerce, I assume that is why it has such great reviews. After years and years of wasted time it works better off. This is also what caused the site to take hours to propagate, even after purging CF cache (This was there techs favorite solution, Did you clear the cache?). Im not 100% but I am pretty sure every time you add a page you should not have to clear the main cloudflare cache. The worst part is all these years and time and not one of the techs figured it out. But the reasoning behind it was because it took so long to propagate; even with a cleared cache, it was consistently overlooked.
And yes I will continue to use WPMUDEV, just not smush or HB.

Works well, easy to use

You can clear your cache at the server level, but it also can make a difference to clear the cache within the site itself, if that makes sense? I haven’t had any functioning issues with this plugin.

The performance don’t grown exponentially but we have a little bit performance increase.

Como suele suceder, existen dudas de que algo sea bueno si está a disponible sin costo, pero esta es una de esas buenas excepciones a la regla. Me es un gusto recomendar el plugin porque, a la fecha (mayo de 2024) funciona muy bien. Espero siga mejorando y que el producto mantenga el espíritu de ser accesible.

Site speed is improved, but layout completely breaks. Plugin is super buggy with asset optimisation working on and off. Despite being on a paid plan, support tickets take a long time to get a response to. Currently waiting almost 2 days for most recent update. Among my other plugins, this is the worst support level. Disappointed and will be switching to another speed plugin.

I have had some messy problems involving a conflict between Hummingbird and our theme, but all have been resolved with the help of WPMUDev’s outstanding tech support. Nithin Ramdas and another tech got into the weeds with us, stuck with us through a number of glitches, and were true professionals the entire way. We are very pleased with the performance improvements that Hummingbird has provided us. Highly recommend.
