The social reviews widgets in Premium Addons for Elementor plugin let you display actual consumer feedback from Google, Facebook, and Yelp straight on your WordPress site. Compared to any other Elementor reviews plugin, these widgets provide more sophisticated customizing choices.
The widgets automatically cache the pulled review data to avoid overloading your server with new requests to get reviews on page load, hence guaranteeing the best page speed. But should you change your reviews or choose to manually refresh them, we have included a straightforward mechanism to remove the cached information.
Supported Widgets
The following Premium Addons PRO widgets let you manually delete cached data:
Why Social Review Widgets Use Cached Data
- Caching is used to:
- Avoiding repeated API requests helps lower page load times.
- Avoid reaching API restrictions for sites such as Google and Yelp.
- Enhance your guests’ experience.
The cache guarantees, by default, that your reviews don’t change every visit to the page. A manual clear is now only one click away; however, if you require a refresh.
Requirements:
- You will need Premium Addons PRO plugin installed and activated on your website.
- Also, make sure that this widget/addon is enabled so you can find it in the Elementor editor. Check this article to know how to do that.
- Premium Addons works only with Elementor Page Builder plugin so you will need to have it installed and activated as well.
Steps
