Amazing plugin

Minimalistic and maximally functional. If the banner was also centered in height and width, it would be the best plugin I've ever seen.
Excellent simple plugin

This is plug and play - just activate and then it works.
No, advertisement for other products or PRO versions. Gotta love it!
Developer, you are the best!
Danke. So muss das sein

Es ist natürlich schwierig mit so einem Plugin Geld zu verdienen, aber ich LIEBE es.
Genau das was ich brauche. Wartung? Anschalten. Wartung zuende? Ausschalten. Kein Schnick Schnack.
Vielen Dank für dieses Plugin 🙂
