Fast for Public email but slow for other domains, example for: LIVE, GMAIL, HOTMAIL, YAHOO MAIL etc. takes about 4 seconds, but when comes to any other domains, the validation can take up to 10-20 seconds to validate. Thats my experience anywayzz. Works, but bit slow You get 100 free checks, BUT the paid plan is super cheap, minimum $10USD for 5000 checks and credits never expire. There's other plans

Tested the plugin from a handful of choices and this one performed far worse than the others - not sure if it even checks email addresses at all?

So far working as expected with Gravity Forms. Will be testing with WooCommerce too and the cost is very reasonable for the service.

I use debounce on 3 sites and it works perfect. I just make sure to check 1 time/mo to see my credits left and forget about it for whole month. It works perfectly.
