not scaling images

The plugin does not actually scale the images in the menu and displays them only in full size.

False sense of security?

This is “half” the equation for the purpsoe. If you hide a menu item with this plugin, this does not mean that search engines can’t see it. Be SURE and also password protect any pages you want to pro
