Works well, but be mindful about "Entire Site" option. If you want it to work on an entire site, first go to the root site (i.e. www.website.com) if you go to a sub-page (i.e. www.website.com/page1, then it doesn't seem to work for the whole site, and will only work if you select "Single Page". Once i figured that out, it's worked every time by selecting "Entire site" when the page I'm on is at the root of the website.
