Excelente resultado, cero molestias.
Tras un par de meses de uso, luego de tener que abandonar otras medidas de seguridad por constantes problemas de caché, este plugin viene funcionando a la perfección, y no ha generado ninguna clase de conflictos con ningún otro elemento. Por ende, totalmente recomendable. Muchas gracias!
