• I have been using the Redux Framework as it was recommended for the Travelista theme on my WordPress site. However, my experience with this framework has been far from satisfactory due to its significant impact on site performance.

    1. Performance Issues: Unfortunately, the benefits of using Redux are heavily outweighed by the severe performance issues it has caused. Since installing Redux, I’ve noticed a substantial slowdown in my site’s loading times. This is particularly problematic where speed and user experience are crucial. My page load times have increased significantly, which negatively affects user experience.

      If you’re using the Travelista theme or any theme that recommends Redux, I would advise caution. While Redux may offer robust customization options, the cost to site performance is too high. In a time when speed and performance are critical, using a framework that slows down your site can have detrimental effects. I hope the developers prioritize optimizing Redux for better performance in future updates.

    Again, folks are blaming Redux for theme issues. We have no control over how theme developers use Redux and many times, they use it improperly. If you were to use a stock WordPress theme and activate the Redux demo mode, you’d see no such issues. This is a complaint you need to take to the theme author. We do not have access to premium themes and we are unable to support themes that use Redux. Blaming us is blame misplaced. If you have a specific error or conflict that originates with Redux, we’ll be happy to look into it. You’ll need to (properly) use our support form: https://redux.io/support/

    To substantiate what Kev is saying, here’s an automated report from plugintests.com, which independent and automatically tests WordPress plugins – https://plugintests.com/plugins/wporg/redux-framework/latest – “Page speed impact: insignificant. The plugin didn’t make the site noticeably slower.”
