First of all I really appreciate what Wix did with EditorX and I enjoyed building amazing looking websites with it that was never possible or easy to build with the classic editor thanks to the flex box, ccs grid layouts and more. I really believe that EditorX could set an example for what a no code website designing platform should really be looking at how super easy it is to learn and get used to EditorX even for users that aren’t professional websites designers compare to the competition out there. Kudos to the team.
However, here comes my critics. As a die hard Wix fan that has built award winning websites with Wix over the years, I must say that I felt very disappointed in EditorX at the end of the day, not because of the few bugs that I realized the team is working hard to fix gradually, and not because we lack relevant features, at least not necessarily, but because of it’s level of productivity or performance.
As its been marketed and we can all agree, the EditorX product is mainly targeting website designing teams and agencies and even if not that, no one in the world would enjoy wasting their time behind simple tasks.
EditorX has very bad performance! I used high end computers to test this out and tried several recent Apple Mac computers but the result remained the same. I did made my researches before concluding. In one trial website we built as part of our investigation into the matter, we tracked and blocked over 100k unnecessary tracking and analytics requests coming from the editor and still were able to design the pages with about 10% increase in speed and element responsiveness. I believe the team has done something or is doing something wrong with this regard. Whatever it is that you have that consumes memory out of our computer’s life is not helping us at all, please remove or improve it. You yourself should try building a simple 5 pager website using platforms like Bubble.io, Webflow and try building the same using EditorX to judge yourselves.
What disappointed me more was the fact that I have been using Wix for over 10 years and EditorX since it was released but it took me 7 days to build a simple website due to the poor performance issues and me throwing away my laptop to sleep because I couldn’t take the stress, I was able to design and build the same website on one of Wix’s close competitor in the No-code nitch in just less than 48 hours without any issues, and no it’s not Webflow in case you are wondering. I wouldn’t mention the exact name because the goal of this post is not to promote anything or anyone but to tell Wix team that you could lose your loyal customers like us who build hundreds of websites in a year to your competitors if you do not address these issues in the EditorX because we have already exercised enough patience from the classic editor’s poor performance over the years but seeing it get worse in the EditorX is unacceptable.
Finally, lets work together 
lets make EditorX great for us all.
Thanks
