2. What are the Disadvantages of Building a Website with Wix?
When you consider free applications, free domain name, free design, cost, and other advantages, you may have thought of building a website with Wix but looking at the negative aspects of the system will be effective in making the final decision.
2.1. Page Load Speed Relatively Slow
Since the website speed update announced in July 2020 did not come at the time of this writing, we can easily say that Wix websites load slowly despite all improvement efforts. Although Wix Turbo measurements reveal more real values, happy results still cannot be obtained when the average of users is taken into account. Don't forget to check out how to speed test for Wix websites with Wix Turbo.
2.2. Users' Data is Shared with Wix
Even if you have your own data privacy policies, all data on your site is shared with Wix at the same time as you use Wix's services. This will result in flexibility in your Privacy and Acceptable Data Use policies. In addition, you must send a record to Wix each time in order to completely delete the users you have removed from the site members and links from the Wix database, this request may not always be accepted.
2.3. No Wix Office in Turkey
All your legal proceedings can be resolved either by email or in local courts in Tel Aviv. In the complaints on sikayetvar.com that the owners of websites that have been deleted before or whose premium package and domain name renewals have been stopped continue to be charged in the following periods, you may encounter people who have no choice but to try one of these 2 methods.
2.4. Some Apps May Have to Pay Additional Fees
Even if you haven't upgraded to the premium package, you can use most Wix applications for free, but when your needs increase or you move to a different market target, these applications may need to be used with a higher package or you may have to pay an additional package fee for this application. Although the majority of users do not see this as a problem, the needs of e-commerce sites that are especially interested in search network and e-mail marketing are changing and increasing over time.
The Ascend app is available with premium packages and allows you to send limited number of email campaigns, notification emails. To change this situation, you need to either do a separate Ascend upgrade or upgrade your existing premium package to one of the top packages, so you can use it for unlimited use. Likewise, there is a capacity limit within the site for the video's application. To overcome these problems, you can install external plugins on your site, or you can prefer Youtube instead of video application.
