It didn’t actually hurt the site (uninstalling the plugin worked fine), but on pages with a broken image, the page kept reloading and reloading. It had a flashing look to it. The plugin was easy to use and easy to install; I’m sorry it didn’t work for me (maybe the Cherry framework?) but I’m glad it works for others.
