Autoloaded Options Inspector
Adds Tools > Autoloaded Options showing the total size of options WordPress loads on every page and the 40 largest ones, with a button to stop autoloading any option that does not need it.
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.
Browser and CDN Caching for Feeds and Sitemaps
Sends cache headers on RSS feeds and XML sitemaps so feed readers, crawlers and CDNs can reuse them for an hour instead of making WordPress rebuild them on every request.
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.
Delay Third-Party Scripts Until the Visitor Interacts
Holds back the scripts you list (chat widgets, heatmaps, social widgets) until the visitor first scrolls, taps, clicks or presses a key, or after a timeout, so they no longer slow down the initial page load.
Disable the Emoji Script and Styles
Removes the emoji detection script, inline styles and DNS prefetch that WordPress adds to every page. Browsers still display emoji natively.
Do Not Lazy-Load the First Images
Tells WordPress to skip lazy loading for the first three images on a page, which usually improves Largest Contentful Paint.
Inline Small Block Stylesheets Instead of Loading Files
Lets WordPress print more of the small per-block stylesheets directly in the page instead of as separate files, which saves several network requests on pages with many different blocks.
Keep Speculative Loading Away From Cart, Checkout and Account Pages
Tells WordPress's built-in speculative loading (prefetching pages on hover) to skip cart, checkout and account pages, which are personal, never cached and expensive to build, so hovering over their links no longer costs server time.
Prerender Links on Hover
Upgrades WordPress speculative loading (6.8+) from prefetch to prerender with moderate eagerness, so pages open almost instantly after a hover.
Remove Block Theme Styles From Classic Themes
Stops classic (non-block) themes from loading the global styles, classic theme styles and duotone SVG filters that WordPress adds for block themes, saving inline CSS on every page.
Remove Expired Login Sessions From the Database
Once a day, removes expired login sessions that WordPress keeps in user meta until the user logs in again, which on membership sites and shops adds up to a lot of dead data.
Run WP-Cron From a Real Cron Job
Stops WordPress from checking for scheduled tasks on every page view; you trigger wp-cron.php from your server's cron instead, which is faster and more reliable.
Send Emails in the Background
Queues emails sent by WordPress and plugins and sends them a few seconds later through WP-Cron, so form submissions, orders and registrations no longer wait for the mail server.
Site Health Check for Compression and Browser Caching
Adds a Site Health test that requests your homepage and one of your theme's stylesheets and reports whether text files are compressed (gzip or Brotli) and whether static files get long browser cache lifetimes.
Skip Loading Translations on English Sites
Stops WordPress, plugins and themes from loading translation files on the front end (or everywhere) to save memory and time on sites whose visitors read English anyway, with a list of text domains to keep.
Skip PDF Preview Images on Upload
Stops WordPress from generating preview images for every uploaded PDF, which speeds up uploads and saves disk space.
Spawn WP-Cron Less Often
Lets WordPress start its background task runner at most every five minutes instead of every minute, reducing extra requests on busy sites.
