Hummingbird irreparably broke my site

    The hummingbird plugin broke my site in the worst way! Afetr enabling the settings my site was just hanging.
    I went through all of the steps:
    – Deactivated the plugin via FTP
    – Removed entries in htaccess
    – Removed entries in wp-config
    – Removed caching files
    – Restarted the server
    – Reinstalled wordpress

    My site is back up but the pagespeed score is 200% worse than before, and probelms with things like downloading archives etc.

    Will NEVER use this again. Just use W3. It’s more complex but if it breaks something you can easily roll back.

    Hey @red_android,

    I’m really sorry to hear you experienced such issues with Hummingbird but I’m glad to hear the site is up now.

    What you’re describing is pretty odd and the fact that you had to go through all those steps (even reinstalling WordPress) makes it even weirder.

    On your support thread, you mentioned you simply enabled the caching options so I wanted to ask: do you remember if you enabled the Preload Cache option? Also, did you try the Asset Optimization feature or just Caching?

    I fully understand how you feel and again, I sincerely apologize for everything you had to go through but this isn’t expected behavior and it looks like a plugin conflict or something else going on that I’d like to investigate.

    If you could provide more details here or at [email protected] (make sure to add “Attn: Erick” in the subject so it gets assigned to me), I’d really appreciate it.

    Regards,
    Erick
