FAQ

Does this plugin slow down my site?

No. We use a lazy-load approach, meaning the external Google script is only called after the initial page load or upon user interaction.

Can I hide the Google branding?

Yes, the Premium version includes “Brand Protection” which hides the Google logo and “Powered by” text for a cleaner look.
