Troubleshooting

If it does not work

Nothing is underlined and I use a cache plugin

WP Rocket, LiteSpeed and others copy or delay scripts. Exclude glosarix.com/widget.js from “minify/combine JS” and from “delay/defer JS”, and clear the cache.

A word is not underlined

To avoid underlining ordinary words, a single word is only marked if it is clearly technical: written the same in English and Spanish (Kubernetes), an acronym in capitals (API) or long (firewall). Very general words such as “network” or “data” are never marked.

It does not appear on the home page

That is intended: by default it does not act on the home page, archives or searches, only on posts and pages. Use data-solo="all" if you want it everywhere.

How do I check that it loads?

Press F12 → Network, reload and filter by “widget”: there must be a request to glosarix.com/wp-json/glosarix/v1/widget with status 200.

Questions

What people usually ask

Is it really free?

Yes, with no account. It has a generous per-visitor limit to protect the service.

Will it slow down my site?

It loads in the background (async) after your content and weighs about 6 KB compressed.

What data does it send?

Only a list of words from the text to look them up. Nothing about your visitors, no cookies.

Does it change my content?

No. It only marks words in the reader’s browser; your articles and your HTML stay the same.
