Excellently Simple

Oliver Campion March 21, 2021

We had no idea Wordpress even had these database tools. This plugin does exactly what it says it does in a very concise and intuitive way. Not really sure why it’s not got thousands of active installs! Good work. Oliver

I like simple and like solutions

Just as I like the solutions that you offer on your blog. Very effective here also, where don’t need a lot of (bloatware) plugins for. Even if not all come with out of the box solutions, I really don’t mind but this one is simple and effective overall! Thanks!
