 * Hi. This plugin is causing my WordPress customiser to refresh on a continuous
   loop (like every two seconds). Not sure why, because it happens even with only
   this plugin active. It looks like there’s a 404 happening over and over again.
   I could not replicate it in my test site though. So it seems it began randomly
   by itself.

 * Hi. I restored a database backup from the previous day and the issue seemed to
   have resolved itself. The issue occurred even with all plugins disabled except
   external links itself and it began randomly when I was editing CSS in the customiser.
   Even my theme author looked at it and recommended I speak to the plugin author
   in case the issue has ever happened before. I will consider it resolved for now.
   If it occurs again I will let you know. Cheers and thanks!

 * OK, great! Maybe it was a one time thing related to cache or something.

 * Now for the why: The internet is a wonderful place full of very nice people and
   a few very bad ones. I’m sure everyone here is very nice however, by giving some
   ones keys to your house you are trusting they wont steal anything. Likewise the
   person who takes the keys is now responsible for the house FOREVER.
