FAQ

Is it possible to use the plugin on multi-sites?

The plugin has not been developed or tested for multisites.

The plugin is multifunctional, how does it affect the speed of the site?

The plugin has a wide range of functions and in order to speed up work with data, we have distributed processing and analysis.
Where possible, we have applied processing to Cron functions, as well as to administrator requests in the panel.
The data analysis time is minimized as much as possible and does not have a big impact on the server response to requests from site visitors.
