✅ Pros (Advantages)

• Creates a sense of urgency — good for promotions, events, launches.
• Flexible design — many options make it easier to match the countdown with your website theme.
• Easy to integrate via WPBakery, so non-developers can use it without coding.
• Responsive, so good across devices.
• Recurring timer and custom labels help adapt the timer for many use cases.

❌ Cons / Limitations

• Having many options/settings might make it a bit overwhelming to configure perfectly.
• If animations or heavy styling are used, could affect page load / performance.
• Dependence on WPBakery Page Builder — if WPBakery is updated or conflicts with theme/plugins, addon may break.
• Limited to features provided — very advanced timer behavior (e.g. visitor-based evergreen timers) may not be supported.
• If version is old and not frequently updated, compatibility with newer WordPress or PHP versions may become an issue.

⚠️ Tips & Considerations

• Always test the timer in different browsers/devices to ensure it looks & works well.
• Check time zone behavior and whether timer uses server time vs client time.
• Use animations moderately; overuse can slow things or distract users.
• For promotional/marketing use, ensure timer behavior is honest (don’t mislead users with wrong end-times).
• Backup before updates and ensure you have legitimate license / updates from official source.
