Works, but has annoying unrelated upsell

by yvandupuy·5 years ago
I would like to thanks developpers of this plugins, which works very well with extra theme from elegant theme. Is it very simple to use and efficient. I wonder however if it supports caching ? will there be future update for the latest releases of wordpress ? my site is running on a litespeed server.NB: it is the only plug-in i know which does that job…
