Q: Serious performance issues?
I've checked a few websites that were built with Brizy from your website's Showcase page. And all of them loaded slower than normal.
So – thinking it was an issue on my end – I ran some analytics with GT-Metrix and PageSpeed Insights. And they both showed that sites built with Brizy are slow, and have quite a few technical issues and low performance scores (even worse on mobile).
Not willing to give up, I browsed through your questions & reviews here on AppSumo. And I stumbled upon quite a few users complaining about performance issues. Some of the comments were a few years old, and some of them were quite recent.
So my question is: what are you doing to speed up your sites, remove bloat, and improve their performance? Is this amongst your immediate priorities? Can we realistically expect substantial improvements in the near future?

Oct 18, 2024A: We are constantly working to improve page load speed and we've make great progress in optimisations across the years.
Are you basing you slow statement on the score Google gives or GT metrics ? because that is not how fast or how slow your website is actually loading as perceived by you when you are accessing it in the browser. That are some numbers that are calculated based on multiple factors that are not translating directly on how fast your website is actually loading.
Take our website for example: https://www.brizy.io/ hit an enter in browser and tell me how slow is loading. Forget about the numbers in an algorithm on a website. How fast are you perceiving the website is loading ? (loads almost instantly on my end).
- We have a DR score of 80+ which is amazing.
- We rank #1 in google on certain keywords we are pursuing.
This is a more complex discussion, and to reduce it "it slow" based on some score without understanding what impacts that score, how is calculated and how it translates into actual impact on your website performance in SEO, ranking, loading speed, I think it's a simplistic approach.
Brizy Cloud doesn't have any problems with speed, not more or less compared with other managed platforms out there or website builders out there.
Let's take a concrete example, a LP built in Brizy Cloud: https://agens.brizy.site/
Pingdom score: 93
👉 https://tools.pingdom.com/#64a7c17bb5000000
👉 https://jmp.sh/sOd81nyf
GT Metrix score: 100
👉 https://gtmetrix.com/reports/agens.brizy.site/Vzr4c2ed/
👉 https://jmp.sh/RM38LXrf
Google: desktop 97, mobile 79
👉 https://pagespeed.web.dev/analysis/https-agens-brizy-site/lwge31awqr?utm_source=psi&utm_medium=redirect&form_factor=desktop
👉 Desktop: https://jmp.sh/Rc9hoI3v
👉 Mobile: https://jmp.sh/CtgbPyTk
Anything over 50 is ok 👉 this is another thing regarding the perception of these numbers (in our head), if it's not 100 ... it's slow, but this is another discussion all together.
I'm pushing the comment length to a small novel, I'll stop the rant here :)
Bottom line:
- Is there room for improvement in Brizy Cloud ... of course.
- Are we constantly working to improve it ... hell yes.
110669513183436194281Good question. While some pages might load fast, it is always possible to address the reasons why pagespeeds are not ideal. Focus on that and forget the rest, this is the main risk we are running by picking up a flashy site builder, we don't know if or when it might slow down, so showing us that you have addressed the things that pagespeed insights says you should address at least gives faith =)
peceofphilThat's just half the truth, that received speed counts. For Google SEO speed, uptime and code basic logic counts. If you want the real test, don't do it just logged in in your home Wi-Fi but also on mobile Internet. And that's what these tools take into consideration also.
You can't tell us brizy webpage is hosted on a normal brizy account without optimization.
VikingfinityPLUSSorry, but I'm not convinced (I'd like to be):
• brizy.io loads slower than average (for me) and your scores aren't great either – it's a combination.
• Your example is a VERY basic page. I'd like to see similar performance on a more complex site.
• ALL sites I've checked on your showcase page load slow. Either almost none of your users are using Brizy correctly or Brizy has performance issues.
And mind that, after quite some years in development...
Top priority for next releases should be page speed enhancements, especially for cloud where we can't use caching plug ins and WordPress tools to enhance speed.

I completely agree, ppl think you see something nice and think it's all good but even most basic web devs know the speed is the indicator of quality today. Please focus on fixing the codebase for ALL websites hosted with Brizy. If you commit to this in your roadmap priority, I and my community will buy a significant amount of licenses. It's not fun work it's necessary.
jasonstrackPLUSNot quite sure what you are seeing viking. Perhaps your internet is congested? I have tested several of the sites on mobile(cellular) and my local internet and they load basically instantly like Dimi mentioned.
107362315607353817489I agree. Brizy cloud is very slow for first time page load (even with the new browser compiler) and it's a problem for serious business .If I compare for the same website build with wordpress and wprocket their's a huge difference.
