FAQ
-
Will this plugin slow down my site?
-
No. Generated content is regular WordPress data; no extra tables or cron jobs are left behind.
-
Can I delete everything the plugin created?
-
Yes. Hit the “Delete All Dummy Data” button and the plugin will remove only the content it generated—your existing posts remain untouched.
-
Does it work with multisite?
-
Absolutely. Activate it per-site or network-activate; each site gets its own independent dummy dataset.
-
Is the content SEO-friendly?
-
The text is neutral lorem-ipsum style, so it won’t help or hurt SEO. Use it on staging/dev sites only.
