  • Nice lightbox with ways to go

    Here is a positive review to boost your motivation, dear developer ;)It's the simplest lightbox for images that I use on all my clients' websites, which are something about 10. Its standout feature is its unobtrusiveness: it doesn't affect loading speed, doesn't conflict with caching plugins - it's as simple as a bolt - robust and effective.However, I would like it to have zoom functionality and the ability to customize its design in some future.

  • Amazing plugin

    For me lightweight means (no jquery) and this plugin checks all the boxes for my requirement. I never wanted a bloated lightbox plugin which adds tons of options and customization features adding un-necessary CSS and JS. Here I just get the lightbox feature with minimal CSS adding no extra bloat to the website. Best part is NO JQEURY and I hope it remains this way. Thanks again!
