Mortgage rates widget for your blog. Free.

== Description ==

[Mortgage Rates](https://www.mlcalc.com/mortgage-rates/ "Mortgage Rates Homepage") is a great value-add for any mortgage officer or real estate agent looking to provide good-looking, functional, valuable mortgage content to readers. The execution of this infobox is superb from the smooth sidebar integration, modal window trend and AJAX-based graphs that are incredibly visually appealing. It's a great little mortgage application that delivers a lot of value in a user-friendly and well-executed way.

The mortgage plugin uses external JavaScript to update mortgage rates from [https://www.mlcalc.com/mortgage-rates/](https://www.mlcalc.com/mortgage-rates/ "Mortgage Rates Source") served by CloudFlare CDN.
