### ๓ [Awesome plugin ann support](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/awesome-plugin-ann-support/)๓ ฟ
[davidmazza21](https://profiles.wordpress.org/davidmazza21/) December 24, 2025
Very Happy with this plugin : light, nice and great level of support . I wanted
to fine tune some elements not in the native way and the support helped me to achieve
it ! 6 stars
### ๓ [Lightweight and works perfectly](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lightweight-and-works-perfectly-4/)๓ ฟ
[Atom Adam](https://profiles.wordpress.org/adampaine/) November 20, 2025
Iโve used other side cart plugins for several years, but was looking for something
more lightweight (my last one loaded about 98kb of css/js on every page). I was
super happy to find Fast Cart, as it works perfectly and is far less bloated (only
16.2kb of css/js loaded!). Great plugin.
### ๓ [Great plugin and excellent support](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-plugin-and-excellent-support-340/)๓ ฟ
[udoe](https://profiles.wordpress.org/udoe/) November 17, 2025
I really love this โsite cart pluginโ, as it offers the user a nice and helpful
overview of the shopping card, each time you add a product โ without having to open
the shopping card site. Since there was an issue with relatively long product descriptions,
my support request was handled and solved very quickly! Once again thanks for this
plugin and for your awesome support ๐
### ๓ [Dedicated cart plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dedicated-cart-plugin/)๓ ฟ
[Thomas Sheldon](https://profiles.wordpress.org/thomashel47/) February 26, 2023
Adding items to the cart without reloading a specific page is advantageous. Hopefully,
this cart plugin will help my store deliver a better customer experience.
