My site was loading terribly slow. I installed this plugin and used the default settings and it increased the load speed of my site by at least 60%. Definitely recommended.

I have a site that uses sobi2 and I heard about MET-pro, I saw reviews and it seemed like a logical choice. I ordered on a weekend and had to contact the developer to have my paid for download sent (he told me it takes longer to get my order on the weekends). That should have given me an idea of what was in store.

I downloaded the plugin and in the instructions, there was a easy setup and a detailed set up (for new jacks like me). Unfortunately the detailed setup was missing a page. I had to visit the forum to find out how to install. This should have given me an idea of what was in store.

If you are a little more technically saavy with me, maybe the issues I ran into wouldn't be issues, but I have to say, this plugin (along with installation and set up) isn't intuitive, which is understandable, but the documentation that should help you thru the process should be more helpful.

I checked the forums to find help with the issues i'm facing, and I couldn't find one thread that basically walked you thru the set up in a concise manner.

After playing around with the plugin for 3 hours, I figured I will just have to pay someone to set it up. After paying almost $100 (US) for this plugin, I must say i'm extremely disappointed and if I didn't need this plugin for the clients site, I wouldn't use it. So, if you aren't familiar or comfortable playing with code by way of half cocked "tutorials", don't waste your time.

Sorry you are not happy:
Betwixted is a single person operation and approvals continue to be manual for the time being. So instant 24/7 service and support are simply impossible.

MET is not a feature plugin it is a structural plugin. Meaning it doesn't do anything specific but it adds capabilities to make many more things possible with Sobi2. The additional capabilities come with some added complexity and a learning curve (not 3 hours).

Free support is provided, to help you get setup and running.

Documentation is admittedly past due for a re-write, this and a packaged implementation system will be included in the next full release.
