Mala idea adquirir la versión PRO

Pague la versión PRO, y realmente fue un desastre, mi web tuvo constantes caídas, excesiva cantidad de cache, problemas con el CSS, realmente fue una perdida de dinero en el Plugin

Funktioniert

Das Plugin selbst ist sehr gut, es ist aber schlicht eine Zumutung, jedes Mal in WordPress die nervige Aufforderung für eine Bewertung zu erhalten. Deshalb nur 3 Sterne.
