Reviews
what people actually sayEasy Table of Contents is generally well-regarded for its feature set and responsive support team, but carries notable caveats around performance impact, broken functionality on PHP 8, and concerns about the paid tier being a subscription trap with unresolved premium features.
What people like
- +Support team is responsive and has resolved compatibility and feature issues for users×6
- +Sticky TOC feature is appreciated by users
- +Plugin is useful and functional for generating tables of contents×3
Common complaints
- −Plugin causes significant page load time increase (nearly tripling load time) even when deactivated on certain page types, due to scripts running site-wide regardless of settings
- −TOC anchor links do not work correctly on PHP 8.x — clicking a link scrolls to the top of the page instead of the target heading (since PHP 8)
- −Paid/premium features reported as non-functional (e.g. mobile TOC), with support deflecting issues to future updates rather than resolving them
- −A user reported receiving a replacement plugin file containing spam link injections, and was unable to get a refund despite the provider's stated refund policy
- −Plugin modifies post code extensively, which some users find intrusive
