User sentiment analysis

Users appreciate the Simple CSS plugin for its ease of use, allowing them to add custom CSS without the complexities of native WordPress tools. The plugin improves website speed and provides the ability to apply CSS on a per-page basis, which helps maintain clean and efficient code. Users also like its theme independence, meaning custom CSS doesn't get lost during theme changes. However, there are drawbacks: the editor returns to the top after saving, causing inconvenience, and there's a lack of code hinting. Some users also missed features like a history function or line numbers visible in inspection tools.

This seems like a great idea, and it’s super to finally be clear of the small Additional CSS panel in native wordpress. What’s making me unsure if I should continue are 2 things: 1 – when you press Save, it shoots you back to the top of the CSS file. If you wanted to check and re-edit a bit you were working on, you’ve got to find it again. 2 – no code hints to help complete as you type. Both these things are present on the Additional CSS panel but not here. Hope they can introduce!

I had been struggling with page speed but could see in GT Metrix that custom CSS (Jetpack) was taking over 1 second to load. Copied it over to Simple CSS and page load dropped from 3.3 seconds to 0.8s! That’s a 75% reduction – fantastic!!! [Also, I love that I can drop a little bit of CSS into the meta box for some post-specific tweaks – so cool, saves CSS bloat for rarely used styling] This topic was modified 3 years, 5 months ago by Keirwatson.
