User sentiment analysis

Users appreciate the Wordpress plugin for its ease of use, quick setup, intuitive templates, and reliable maintenance mode functionality. It enables them to construct high-quality landing and maintenance pages effortlessly, often within minutes. The plugin integrates well with various WordPress themes and provides extensive customization options. However, users are overwhelmingly critical of the automatic installation of additional plugins like Optimole and Otter Blocks without clear consent, which many view as intrusive and unethical. This practice has led to concerns about unexpected site issues, added bloat, aggressive marketing, and potentially compromised site performance, prompting numerous users to question its reliability and look for alternatives.

Unacceptable that it installed 3 plugins at least: a block manager, an image optimizer and the plugin you theoretically want to install. Don’t get it close to your site… Still investigating what else it could have done :O !

Also it forces you to download other plugins.

Beware! Installed unasked and unnecessary plugins. Hope it didn’t interfere with the source code – dangerous!
