Top Notch Customer Service | Very Useful Plugin
What can I say. I suggested a few features I was hoping the plugin had, but didn't. And what do you know, the publisher emailed me back and said all the features I requested (and more) would be added within a few days. This guy kept his word. The new updated plugin is well worth it and has tons of great features. The best feature in my opinion is the WP Admin dashboard widget. You get a full view of all backend and server stats in real time, right in your WP admin. Awesome plugin. Thank you again.

Simple but very useful
Simple but very useful plugin. Work as expected. No ads, no push to buy a pro version (there is none AFAIK).

Useful.
Way more information than I know how to use, but someday when I'm troubleshooting, I'm sure it will save me a lot of time looking it up elsewhere. All I really wanted was a quick way to get version numbers, and I see I also got memory, RAM and CPU, which will be great for comparisons before and after installing plugins, changing Web hosts, etc. I agree with the reviewer who requested PayPal in order to make a donation. The donation link takes me to a payment processor I never heard of, and when I decided to go ahead (what the heck, the credit card I'll use expires soon anyway), my bank declined the transaction. So I would have donated, but I'm not putting in a second credit card. I'll check again after I do taxes and decide how much money I have to spare. I want to donate to a number of plugin creators once I actually have an income stream.
