Lourd, lent, compliqué

  • En 2021, nous avons confié la refonte de notre site à une graphiste qui a utilisé Astra en version Pro.
    Depuis, nous regrettons amèrement !

    • Ce template offre énormément de possibilité, mais il est horriblement lourd et complexe, on ne retrouve jamais facilement l’endroit où corriger des choses. Chaque correction se transforme en cauchemar !
    • Alors que notre ancien site réalisé avec TOTAL était rapide (tout en ayant plus de pages, plus de contenus, plus d’images, plus de fonctionnalités = téléchargements, et sur le même hébergement), le nouveau site est lent, lent, si lent !
    • Alors que l’ancien site bénéficiait d’un SEO correct, le nouveau site n’est plus du tout référencé dans les moteurs de recherche, nous ne comprenons pas du tout pourquoi malgré nos recherches.
    • Il est fréquent que des mises à jour du template ou d’autres plugins modifient certaines mises en forme ou désactivent des menus, ce qui impose des corrections intempestives sur le site !!
    • La mise à jour automatique du plugin Astra Pro ne fonctionne pas, l’éditeur prétend que c’est un bug de WordPress alors que tous les autres plugins se mettent à jour automatiquement.

    Trop, c’est trop. Essayer d’améliorer notre site reviendrait à faire rouler un cube, nous allons donc le refaire en abandonnant Astra sans aucun regret, sinon celui d’avoir du subir sa lourdeur et sa lenteur pendant 3 ans. Notre prochain site sera fait avec le template TOTAL, comme l’ancien.
