It works well, but...
This plugin is good. It works well and deserves 5 stars, but it has an invalid CSS class. .gutentoc.tocactive { widows: 100%; } This doesn't work for me. It would probably be width:100%. Or, I could be wrong!

Nice plugin! Few suggestions though...
Great plugin, works fine and comes with numerous well thought-out options – thanks for this!! Some suggestions / things I'd love to see in a coming version: Make the source JS readable (currently completely minified) and as such editable / understandable – I cannot contribute if it is obfuscated like this... Would love to see the numbering of the second (third, ...) levels reflect the parent numbers – by that I mean level 1 with levels 1.1 and 1.2 instead of having level 1 repeat level 1, level 2, etc. Make the plugin translatable via WP's coding standards so I can change the labels accordingly without editing plugin code directly Regards

Useful, but has accessibilty issues
This plugin does a good job, but it has multiple accessibility issues (invalid list code, TOC title isn't a true heading, open/show TOC not keyboard focusable...).

Almost perfect
This plugin is working perfectly as per requirement. Only one thing is that "rankmath seo plugin" doesn't detect this plugin, therefore getting low SEO score. Please follow the Rankmath guide to add this functionality. Thanks.

Excellent Plugin
Automatically sets table up with tags. Smooth scrolling is nice. Simple yet elegant. Please add support for Rankmath.
