This plugin should be used in all website. Maybe you should create a block to be better integrated in the block editor.

One of the best plugins I’ve ever tried. It does exactly what it says on the tin and it does it very well. I find it very useful if you want to propose a summary page on your site. Now I just have to figure out how to customize the style a bit, but that’s my limit. Thanks to the developer!
