Shit***Apps... Note Recommended..................
Hi there,
Not a big fan of the swearing, but I understand that you might have been frustrated using the app for some reason.
More than happy to help dig into any issues you may have had if you'd like to share?
Cheers
Stuart
the app is true , before i used i test my speed webiste in other platform ,it was 11,0 after i used it , it become 7.0 that's not very much big 4 , but it's true and good, i recommend to use this app
It does not reduce the loading time of the first page web visited by the client, what it does is make it worse.
Most times a user does not get to enter the web since the web is slow and takes time to load. What happens with this APP is that it loads its code on the first page that a user visits so the loading time increases and there is more probability that the client will never come to visit us. Apparently, when you have already entered, if you browse the web, it loads faster because the links are preloaded. In my opinion I prefer to look for another one that improves the loading time of the first page you visit.
You can check from the official google links to measure time, both in mobile version and in computer version:

https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights
I'm not sure it worked, do I need to wait for a period of time before checking the speed? I checked before and after and the score had got worse rather than better!
Time wasted, it does not work to increase page speed, It does not work in Gtmetrix or any tool , so stay away
Hi there, thanks for the review. You are absolutely correct, the app will not show any increase or decrease in GTmetrix or any other tool.
From our FAQ on the dashboard of the app:
https://share.getcloudapp.com/NQugzdW0
-----------
Important Notice:
This app will not increase or decrease any pageload speed metrics such as Pingdom or Gmetrix. The app preloads links, which only works from the second page view. These apps DO NOT account for second page load times in their results.
-----------
The app utilizes open source software (https://github.com/instantpage/instant.page) to preload links on your theme, thus speeding up loading times after the first page load.
As mentioned throughout the app, some themes already include this open source code by default. As a result, these themes wouldn't see any increase in speed because the code is already present.
Cheers

My website run very slow, i have downloaded this app from the app store because i read that it really helps to make the website load faster, unfortunately it didn't help and my website still running very slow.
there is no option to contact any one in this app who can really help, no contact info no costumer support.
I don't understand how this app has 779 reviews 4.8 Rated.. something is wrong here.,,
Hi there, sorry we let you down here. Some themes already include our speed optimization code. As a result, these themes wouldn't see any increase in speed. Cheers, Stuart
I haven't yet used the app... I am just verifying my store and they asked if I could give them a review. They have been very helpful so far so 4 out of 5 is where its at currently.
Thank you so much for leaving a review! Just let us know if you need help or assistance along the way. Our team here at Booster Apps is happy to help! All the best, Kevin
Does not work in the theme by Out of the Sandbox. After turning on, all images disappeared, and when off they came back.
Support just blamed everyone else and didn't even have a look. First it was domain provider, then it was Shopify and then heavily optimised theme (it really isn't) - just guessing.
Hi there,
Bryan here from Booster Apps, I'm sorry for your experience using the app. I read through your conversation with our support team and we haven't had a scenario like this before happening with any theme. We would love to investigate and find out what could have caused the issue. We've reached out over on email as well to help us uncover this.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Cheers,
Bryan.
Tested load speeds with pingdom and went from 5.61 seconds to 5.84. I am sure this works with some sites but it certainly doesnt work with all of them.
Hi there, thanks for the review. Unfortunately page speed apps such as pingdom or gtmetrix will not show any improvements when the app is installed. This is due to the fact that these apps measure page speed on first page load.. this app only starts working after first page load as we are preloading links on the page.. 😔
Cheers, Stuart
The service is great and app works well. Speed us up and we were suggested new apps that would benefit our site.
