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.

    Your freaking plugin loads and play mp3. Fix this! Audio loader location located in file wp-ajaxify-comments\dist\wpac-frontend-menu-helper.js

    It’s a good plugin, but it didn’t work for me(flatsome theme) . After activating the plugin and lazy load, site comments were visible only to the admin and not to the guest user. After checking, I noticed that when I disable Cache Rocket, the comments appear for guests . The problem is probably the activation of “Delay JavaScript” in wp-rocket or the interference of such items from js files or two lazy loading same time..

    The latest major update caused some issues on my site but the developer delivered a fix in less than 24 hours. I’ve been using this plugin for years and it’s been working wonders.

    From my experience I can say that this plugin is the Best Comment Optimization Plugin so far, without any bugs. I have tested “Ajaxify Comments Plugin” on two of my sites which are heavily loaded with comments. It instantly solved all my wordpress comment optimization related requirements in a second. It increased my website page speed by removing “Avoid Excessive DOM size” warning from Google page speed insights. The author of the plugin is very cooperative and seriously solves all problems raised by the users. I hope that the author never abandons this plugin, and keeps it updated regularly. All the Best!

    This plugin is very useful. By default WordPress show missed filed error in a comment in a new page, this behaviour is not really nice on my point of view and, in some cases, made user loose text that was previously inserted in the fields. I tested this plugin with the “Hestia” theme but was not working so I created a support topic and the support is present and replied. This is a good point! I tested the plugin with another theme “Customizr” and works. This plugin is very useful.
