ATTENTION!
Be careful!
The document-emberdder.2.0.0.zip plugin archive contains /document-emberdder/freemius – Freemius!!!

This table quickly fills with logs up to 3GB or more, which drastically slows down the site, both in the admin panel and on the frontend.
Be careful and don’t trust fake positive reviews!!!
