Dezember 2020 Great plugin, super easy to install and just sits there doing it’s job. Very light as well, so has no effects that I could see, on site speed or memory usage. Can’t think of a reason why you wouldn’t be using this to be honest. Thanks for developing it! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/f6d83c88833b7cfb0e8cdc1d053effd6656baaafba8b60f620eeaf4d37ae637e? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Not working](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-working-3457/)󠁿 [Kekeli](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ka2id/) 1.

Wish someone would write something new to fix this.
