Stopped Working And Stuck

By alt77x on September 5, 2024

Plug-In stopped working after a few hours. No support either

The interface is not user friendly

By dizitele on June 14, 2024

The interface is not user friendly. If you do not have good knowledge about the subject, it can cause you big troubles. It can also be a headache for mobile themes. This is how the adventure ended for me, I hope it will be good for someone else.

Really improve the website load speed

Disregard This Review. Created Support Thread Instead.

By Ed Shway (edxd) on September 19, 2023

UPDATE: I apologize for leaving a review instead of a support thread. I've added one now - https://wordpress.org/support/topic/critical-error-activation/

I'll change the rating to 5 because I don't want to unfairly drag the rating down.

Original post: It caused a critical error on my entire site as soon as I visited the plugin's settings page.

Not working - stucks at 0%

By mirksen on March 14, 2023

Not sure if this plugin is still working. It keeps stucking at 0% and nothing happens. The contact form in the plugin isn't not working neither....
