 * Early versions wouldn’t even connect properly with Google’s own services, leaving
   installation/integration in a partial state. Attempts to finish all failed, with
   a to itself at my domain, (domain.com/?oauth2callback=1 + a long string of characters)…
   which failed to load.
 * To their credit, the developers responded to my review and tried to help, but
   it took SEVERAL iterations of plugin updates to smooth it out, and then it finally
   finished the integration process without issue.
 * Testing with the Pingdom Website Speed Test found no hit to site performance.
 * Much better, Googlers!

 * Thanks for following up: that’s impressive.
 * Indeed I’ve tried it with each plugin update, and the last one was the charm:
   it did complete the setup finally! It still strikes me as pretty cumbersome to
   click permission after permission, but otoh I appreciate the privacy/security
   aspects of that. The information looks interesting, and nice to have it all in
   one place.
 * I will update my review.
