  • works as promised

    I needed something like this and tried a few different solutions. This was the one that worked best for my needs.

  • Tested thoroughly on my Food Recipe site

    I have several sites but, in particular, I was wanting the WPRM (WordPress Recipe Maker) plugin owner to set his "Keep Screen Active" feature to default at "enabled" but he never would. So, I thoroughly tested this "Screen Stay Awake" plugin with no hits on my PSI performance metrics. After that, I was then able to remove the "Keep Screen Active" feature from the WPRM recipe plugin template (which helped a small amount on performance metrics). I also liked the simple easy-to-use settings so I could disable it everywhere else except on just my posts, which is where all the recipes are. So, DarnGoodRecipes thanks you for this plugin creation and it's also used alongside this author's Ad Commander Pro plugin with zero issues.

  • Saved me some $$$

    Thanks for this singular feature plugin. Saved me from having to buy a premium recipe plugin for a family recipe site. Appreciated!

  • Just what I needed!

    I am thrilled this plugin has been made! I had been trying to implement NoSleep JS on my own and it was a struggle. Took a break from it and found out someone created this plugin that does exactly what I need. I'm so grateful!
