Site Reviews is a complete review management solution that works similarly to reviews on Amazon, Tripadvisor, and Yelp.
Site Reviews integrates with SureCart and WooCommerce enabling store owners to collect and display customer reviews for their products while enhancing social proof and driving sales.
Site Reviews comes with shortcodes and blocks, and provides native elements for Avada Builder, Breakdance, Bricks, Divi 5, Elementor, Flatsome Page Builder, and WPBakery Page Builder.
Site Reviews provides more features and options than almost every other free review plugin, and the support provided on the WordPress forum is excellent.

Site Reviews

Speaking as developers ourselves, this is a very well done plugin - the author has put in so much work. Deserves 5+ stars.

Very well done, documented and great attention to detail


From the way everything works and is displayed, to just using it and making the changes you want. I like this plugin very much.



I wish it wasn't so difficult to "change the color" of the star. Download this, upload that, activate this and save this.. it's insane.


This is a high quality plugin... "you can just tell"


I really like Site Reviews and I also have the Filters addon.




I like the way the plugin is designed for the user as regards the GUI. And a lot of effort has gone in to clean and elegant help.





I have requested help a few times and the support has been really good.




Sometimes I come across plugins that I feel are special because of the plugin and their author. Some of these are Autoptimize, Enlighter. Now I add Site Reviews to that list!

Excellent Plugin


Perfect if we don't have WooCommerce and we want to collect reviews. Love it !


Great !


Plugin and functionality is good but want to more settings for UI configuration, for example make slider or vertical and horizontal mode


Good Review block
