Works with some modifications

Since this hasn’t been updated in forever, some modifications are needed to enable the plugin due to version checking. debug.log will show: Not yet qualified with this version of WordPress. Bypass

Support doesn’t work at all anymore

Since the introduction of AI support, nothing works anymore. I’ll probably have to switch to an alternative where they actively take care of their customers. What a shame…

by klaushein

Support has become very poor

Unfortunately, the support has become very neglectful. Either they rarely respond or they haven’t gotten back for weeks. Very disappointing!

Incredible Plugin

This is an incredible plugin. I am not sure why nobody talks about this. I found it accidentally. Give it a try. It is a WPRocket alternative.
