Skip the Plugin Bloat

Most WordPress testimonial plugins are:

Bloated — Slow down your site with unnecessary features
Limited — Can't import from G2, Trustpilot, or social media
Manual — You have to add every testimonial by hand
Outdated — Many haven't been updated in years

Shoutjar is different:

Lightweight — One embed code, loads async
Connected — Import from review platforms + auto-discover social mentions
Automatic — Updates without touching WordPress
Modern — Beautiful widgets that match 2026 design standards
