HubSpot – CRM, Email Marketing, Live Chat, Forms & Analytics

I recently integrated the Hubspot WordPress plugin into my website with high hopes of streamlining my marketing efforts. While the plugin offers some useful features, there are a few drawbacks that significantly impact both mobile website performance and user experience.

First and foremost, I noticed a significant decline in mobile website performance after implementing the Hubspot plugin. According to Google PageSpeed Insights, my website's performance score plummeted from 64 to 39 (unable to add links to screenshot to compliment my review). This decline is quite concerning, as a slow-loading website can have a detrimental effect on user engagement and search engine rankings. It is essential to consider this performance impact before deciding to use the Hubspot plugin, especially if website speed is a priority for your business.

I encountered a frustrating issue with the plugin's login functionality. Whenever I close my browser, all data associated with Hubspot, including my login information, is automatically deleted for security reasons. Consequently, I find myself having to log in manually to the Hubspot dashboard every time I access it. This inconvenience disrupts my workflow and wastes precious time that could be better spent on other tasks. This issue seems to be a significant flaw in Hubspot's design and should be addressed promptly.

Despite these setbacks, it's worth noting that the Hubspot WordPress plugin does offer some valuable features for marketers. It allows for seamless integration of Hubspot's CRM and marketing tools, enabling easy lead capture, email marketing, and contact management. The plugin also provides analytics and reporting functionalities, giving users insights into their marketing performance but the downside is, when you option for an upgrade it gets pricey.

The Hubspot WordPress plugin presents a mixed bag of pros and cons. While it offers useful marketing features and analytics capabilities, it comes with notable downsides. The decline in mobile website performance according to Google PageSpeed Insights is concerning, and the persistent login issue is a significant inconvenience. If you decide to use the Hubspot plugin, it is crucial to be aware of these limitations and consider the trade-offs carefully. Hopefully, the Hubspot team will address these issues promptly to improve the overall user experience.

UI is good, we have more control on customisation of forms, live chat etc. I recommend it.

I have installed the plugin on 4 different site and none of them work, I have it on one site no other plugins so no conflict there and it still will not connect. I can not find any information or help on what to do. What a waste of a day, researching and still can not get it to work, I also set up an account on hubspot and could not even get the email section to connect, it should not be this hard.

Its great but it needs work with the connection sometimes bugging out

We used this plugin for a while, only to track some pages. No forms, no CTA. We had to uninstall it because it was responsible for a huge drop in our performance. We went from 99 to 67 in lighthouse! After disabling, our performance was back to normal. This is unacceptable, especially, for a plugin that is supposed to be in the SEO domain...

This makes my life easy.

Thank you for such helpful solution! This plugin is really amazing! Didn't have any problems with installation or configuration.

Wordpress is quite an amazing experience. However that aside I would like to introduce my fellow visionary wealth thinkers to a financial expert in US, the email is 'synodx @ tutanota • com' and he's certified, I took his advice and invested $15k in crypto assets, now I got up to $350k so far. He can assist you in building at least 6 figures with little capital.

How we are equal our views will b enable to find out our solution.

I really wanted to give this a go, and all the way through sign up and creating my first form I was very impressed with the free version. It was intuitive, helpful and promising. I then pasted the short code for my first form, an email subscription box, which looked very good, and there it was, bright as day, a link back to hubspot, including a full logo, right in the middle of my page...! Other offerings don't force this on you...! I've been through loads of offerings and Hubspot seemed so promising. I wouldn't mind paying for extra options, which I really was planning in the long term, while I gave my brand new business a footing, but I refuse to be forced to pay, almost by blackmail... Nope. If this is the state of play at the beginning, what sort of strong arming will to be to come...? Bye bye... Edit: I take it back, other providers also add their own marketing blurb...! Total rubbish...!
