Cache Site-Wide Comment Counts
Stores the comment totals that WordPress shows in the admin menu, toolbar and dashboard for 10 minutes, avoiding a slow counting query on every admin page view on sites with many comments.
Snippet Library
Performance snippets for WordPress
Snippets that make WordPress lighter and faster: remove emoji scripts and embeds, control the Heartbeat API, limit revisions and load scripts only where they are needed. For developers and site owners chasing better Core Web Vitals.
Disable WooCommerce Analytics and Admin Extras
Turns off WooCommerce Analytics, the React-based admin home, onboarding and marketing screens, which noticeably speeds up the admin on smaller stores.
Disable the Heartbeat API Except in the Post Editor
Keeps the Heartbeat API (autosave and post locking) in the editor but turns it off on every other admin and front-end page to save server requests.
Duplicate Database Queries Report for Administrators
Add ?wpide_queries=1 to any page while logged in as an administrator to see, at the bottom of the page, the queries that ran more than once and the ten slowest queries, with the code that called them.
Find What Is Calling admin-ajax.php
Counts admin-ajax.php requests per action (and whether they come from the front end or the dashboard) for the current day and the previous six, and shows the busiest ones under Tools > AJAX Usage.
Page Weight Summary in the Admin Bar
Shows an admin bar item on the front of the site with the total size of the page's scripts, stylesheets, images and fonts, and a breakdown with the heaviest files when you click it.
Raise the Memory Limit for Admin Tasks
Gives memory-hungry admin tasks like image processing and imports more room, without raising the limit for every front-end visit.
Remove Dashicons for Logged-Out Visitors
Stops the Dashicons icon font from loading on the front end for visitors, saving a request. Logged-in users still get it for the admin bar.
Remove the Months Filter From Admin Lists
Drops the "All dates" dropdown from post and media lists, saving a slow query on sites with many thousands of posts or files.
Server-Timing Header for Administrators
Adds a Server-Timing header with PHP time, database query count and peak memory to pages viewed by administrators, so you can read the numbers in your browser's developer tools Network tab.
Skip Slow Site Health Tests
Removes the Site Health checks that make HTTP requests back to your own site, which are slow or time out on some hosts.
Slow Down the Heartbeat API
Reduces admin AJAX traffic by running the Heartbeat API every 60 seconds instead of every 15 to 60, and turns it off on the front end.
Speed Up the Custom Fields Meta Box
Skips the slow database query that fills the Custom Fields key dropdown, which can freeze the classic editor on sites with lots of post meta.
Turn Off Autosave for Chosen Post Types
Stops the editor from autosaving the post types you list (for example products or custom data types edited by many people), which removes frequent background requests and extra autosave revisions.
Turn Off Avatars in the Dashboard Only
Stops wp-admin from loading an avatar for every row of the comments and users screens and the dashboard, which saves dozens of requests to Gravatar, while avatars keep showing on the front of the site.
