Reviews

Simple and Useful Plugin

jamestobin October 24, 2022

This is a useful plugin- it saves time and keeps you alerted to your page speed and security scores. It hasn’t affected performance negatively, so I’m all for it. I may even upgrade to the premium simply because if I say to myself, “I’ll remember to check it myself for free,” I know I’ll forget—moreover, the premium version updates daily rather than weekly. For less than 20 bucks a year, it seems worth it.
