Perfmatters v2.6.6 – Lightweight WordPress Performance Plugin

Perfmatters is a high-performance optimization plugin designed specifically for WordPress; it boosts page loading speeds by minimizing HTTP requests and disabling unnecessary default system features. Built with a minimalist approach to ensure conflict-free operation, the tool works seamlessly alongside popular caching plugins.

Key Features

• Script Manager: This is the most powerful feature, allowing you to disable specific plugin JS (JavaScript) and CSS files on pages where they aren’t used (e.g., disabling the Contact Form 7 plugin on blog posts).
• Disable unnecessary default features: Easily remove WordPress features that slow down the site—such as Emojis, Embeds, Dashicons, XML-RPC, and RSS feeds—and automatically change the login URL for enhanced security.
• Database optimization: Fine-tune and optimize post revisions, the Trash, spam comments, and transient data.
• Performance enhancements: Defer or delay JavaScript execution, preload critical assets, and utilize DNS prefetching.
• Image optimization: Built-in Lazy Loading for images, videos, and iframes, plus automatic addition of missing image dimensions (width/height) to reduce Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) errors.
