  <p>At first: This plugin was for free and I would like to say &quot;Thank you for you work!&quot; ... thanks Sebastian!</p>
  <p>But with a look to 33,291 active installs, I do not think I'm the only one who is thinking about this link topic in Craft 5?</p>

  This is one option: <a href="https://plugins.craftcms.com/hyper" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://plugins.craftcms.com/hyper</a><br />
