Q: About product roadmap
From my experience with the platform for a while now, I’ve noticed a few things:
1. The platform is quite complex due to its extensive features. Its user interface is outdated, and the user experience is quite confusing, especially when compared to other modern directory builders available in the market.
2. The website performance is extremely slow, and I haven’t seen any significant improvements in the past few years. Could you please address this issue?

🎛️ Complexity vs. Robustness
You're absolutely right — BD has a lot of features, and that’s because it’s built to support a wide variety of use cases out of the box and deliver a lot of value as an all-in-one. But if you're just looking to create a simple directory, you can get started in 15 minutes using this setup guide:

⚡ Speed & Performance
Performance is something we take seriously. Most BD websites score 95+ on Google PageSpeed without any custom optimization. If you ever notice your site performing slower than that, we encourage you to contact our team — we’ll review it and help identify whether it’s from user-added content or something else.
Here’s an example of a real BD site with a 99/100 PageSpeed score on mobile:
