Q: Hi Webboss deal seems very competitive with SiteJet but - On your websites, can we remove "Powered by WebBoss.

io 3.6.4 " ?
- Does the Appsumo Deal include CDN?
- Most of your websites are in the UK, Ireland, when do you install servers in the USA (West, Middle, East), in Asia (Taiwan, Singapore)?
- Do you focus to increase score in Page Speed Insight + score of Core Web Vitals + score in WebPageTest?

Thanks, Michael

Hi Michael

Thanks for the questions!

- On your websites, can we remove "Powered by WebBoss.io 3.6.4 " ?
> Yes in the HTML editor you can remove the template tag that makes this appear.

- Does the Appsumo Deal include CDN?
> Not at the moment, but we have roadmapped a CDN integration

- Most of your websites are in the UK, Ireland, when do you install servers in the USA (West, Middle, East), in Asia (Taiwan, Singapore)?
> We are currently expanding our servers to better serve the global community (see our roadmap for details)

- Do you focus to increase score in Page Speed Insight + score of Core Web Vitals + score in WebPageTest?
> Yes, we are always trying to improve speed and loading times to make our users have the best experience possible!

You can view our roadmap here: https://roadmap.webboss.io

I hope this helps!

Hi Luke,
Most of experienced Sumolings who are interested in your offer have ALREADY visited your website, visited the websites of your clients, run speed tests, SEO tests, and, of course, visited your roadmap (we don't buy on roadmap)...

- Does the AppSumo Deal include CDN?
> Not at the moment, but we have roadmapped a CDN integration
=> it is not "in progress" board on your roadmap
=> Sumolings want to know if it will be included for free or for extra money

- Most of your websites are in the UK, Ireland, when do you install servers in the USA (West, Middle, East), in Asia (Taiwan, Singapore)?
> We are currently expanding our servers to better serve the global community (see our roadmap for details)
=> Roadmap shows: "A whole new server structure is currently being built and tested in order to improve on speed, scaling and security.
This is in progress and is in the final testing stages, just tweaking and fine-tuning some of the config etc. to make sure it runs as smooth and as fast as possible to make the WebBoss experience even better!"
+ a picture
BUT it doesn't show WHERE the servers are installed and WHEN (at least a deadline before the Appsumo deal ends)

- Do you focus to increase score in Page Speed Insight + score of Core Web Vitals + score in WebPageTest?
> Yes, we are always trying to improve speed and loading times to make our users have the best experience possible!
=> Good because Page Speed Insight + score of Core Web Vitals + score in WebPageTest show RED FLAGS for SEO

You can view our roadmap here: https://roadmap.webboss.io
=> we ALREADY visited your roadmap before asking questions... but we don't buy on roadmap promises

I hope this helps!
=> sorry no

Your deal pricing is very interesting but the loading speed for international and SEO potential are road blockers. If you can solve that before SiteJet deal comes back then we'll switch to WebBoss.

Hi macrogiant88

It's our first time launching on AppSumo, so we're still learning how this community responds to things! Hopefully we're doing alright with it so far :)

=> it is not "in progress" board on your roadmap

> I will update the status of it as it's something we're looking at still, like image specific CDNs etc. Although, like I mentioned to someone else, you could use something like Cloudflare as that just requires a DNS change which we can do for you easily.
Anything we develop to be a standard feature in the platform comes in updates at no extra cost. The times we may charge for something would be things like additional, bespoke development that is specific to a single customer.

=> Roadmap shows: "A whole new server structure is currently being built and tested in order to improve on speed, scaling and security."
BUT it doesn't show WHERE the servers are installed and WHEN (at least a deadline before the Appsumo deal ends)
> The servers will replace the London ones at first, and then that will make it easier to roll out to other parts of the world. The *when* is hard to say exactly right now, as it is subject to the testing going well to make sure everything is running smoothly. I'll keep the roadmap updated with details as they become available.

=> Good because Page Speed Insight + score of Core Web Vitals + score in WebPageTest show RED FLAGS for SEO
> Although we do try our best to make websites as fast as possible with optimised images and clean code, we do also hand off the site management to our clients who don't always use the best practices when updating their own sites, so loading times could vary based o

> Good to know! But I will say we do take our roadmapping seriously when we add features. We have always been a very customer-led business in terms of development, so any feedback and voting on the roadmap will play a part in what comes next. :)

I hope this helps!
