Frequently asked questions
Will this plugin slow down my site?
No. Generated content is regular WordPress data; no extra tables or cron jobs are left behind.
Can I delete everything the plugin created?
Yes. Hit the “Delete All Dummy Data” button and the plugin will remove only the content it generated—your existing posts remain untouched.
Does it work with multisite?
Absolutely. Activate it per-site or network-activate; each site gets its own independent dummy dataset.
Is the content SEO-friendly?
The text is neutral lorem-ipsum style, so it won’t help or hurt SEO. Use it on staging/dev sites only.
