Having a review by us or having an interview helps the traffic to the developers website. As was bought to our attention recently when we did an interview and reviewed a plugin for a developer who sent us snap shots of their traffic before and after the shows and the traffic stayed so there is some great benefits to being reviewed by WP Plugins A to Z.

Before you shut down the REST API you might want to check and see if you are using it and not knowing or to evn just have a peek at what is being requested on your web site. This plugin makes that task easy, by just installing it and then checking the log to see what is being access on your site for what purpose.

Have a video that you want your website viewers to watch? Watching a video would typically restrict the viewer from viewing the rest of the webpage. Shrinking video solves that problem by shrinking the video to the upper right corner of the screen once the user scrolls past the video. Once the user scrolls back up to the page the video unshrinks and returns to its normal position.
