No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

    There are some php warning. Opened topic on forum about them. Css file is downloading from another website. It is risky. What if that website is down. It should be local. Due to above reasons, I will not use this.

    As the other reviewers mentions there are styling issues. Considering this banner is the first impression users will get on my website, styling is critical. Support responses are very slow. It appears the developer is occupied on other things. This is very disappointing because it makes me think I won’t get support for the developers other plugin for Google Tag Manager which seems pretty robust. NOTE: The 5-star review is the developer, not a plugin user. This topic was modified 1 year, 4 months ago by JSL. Reason: Developer offered assistance to resolve CSS This topic was modified 1 year, 4 months ago by JSL. Reason: Changing from "No Support" to "Slow Support"

    Hello, I chose this plugin because it is presented as light and the performance of my site is important. But I changed my mind and uninstalled it for another plugin. Clearly, it would have been better if: 1) the title of the box would not be in an H2 tag: it breaks the html structure of my pages and it’s negative for my SEO. And SEO is super important! 2) JS and CSS files would only be hosted on the site server and not on the external server. 3) bonus: it would be possible to change the color of the buttons, which are currently red. I could give it a higher rating if these points were corrected! Thanks

    Works great, is lightweight and does what its supposed to do. So many plugins nowadays that get bloated with superficial features.Great job.
