Performance

Database Cleaner: Schedule regular optimization and cleaning of the WP database to improve site performance. Pro adds options to manually clean individual DB tables, track unused options, and remove autoload bloat from the Options table.
Heartbeat Control: Modify the WordPress Heartbeat API interval to reduce server load and improve the editor experience.
Disable Emojis: remove all emoji-related styles and scripts from the site.
Disable jQuery Migrate: disable loading of the jQuery Migrate script on the site.
Disable 404 URL Redirect: stop WordPress from redirecting requests to a similar-looking URL when a page is not found, preventing unintended content being shown.
Remove oEmbed links: remove the “json+oembed” and “xml+oembed” discovery links from the site’s header, preventing other sites from embedding your content.

Security

Block Failed Login: limit failed login attempts and block bad actors from carrying out brute-force attacks. Pro adds options to customise the lockout duration, a full lockout mode, and the ability to hide the login form during lockout.
Two-Factor Authentication: enable two-factor authentication (TOTP) for all your users. Pro adds options to make 2FA compulsory for defined user roles, block users without 2FA from logging in, and allow users to save trusted devices.
Custom Login URL: hide the wp-login.php URL and create a custom secret login URL for your users.
Disable XML-RPC: disable the XML-RPC protocol. XML-RPC has no built-in encryption or authentication hardening, so disabling it is recommended unless explicitly required.
Block Admin Access: prevent selected user roles from accessing the WordPress Dashboard and redirect them to a URL of your choice.
Disable User Account: disable user accounts for inactive users and prevent them from logging in.
Hide WordPress Version: remove the WP version tag from the site’s header.
Remove X-Pingback header: remove the “X-Pingback” HTTP header to prevent other sites from pinging back to yours.
Remove X-Powered-By header: remove the “X-Powered-By” HTTP header to hide PHP and server information.
Remove REST API link: remove REST API discovery links from the site’s header for non-authenticated users.
Remove Really Simple Discovery (RSD) link: remove the RSD link used by XML-RPC clients to discover your endpoint.
Remove Shortlink: remove the shortlink tag from the site’s header.

Content & SEO

Post Cloner: easily clone posts and any other post type, including all post meta and taxonomies.
Content Refresh: easily keep your content updated for SEO. Clone a post as a draft child. When you (re)publish the clone it updates the original post — perfect for refreshing old content without creating a new URL. Pro
XML Sitemap: configure and manage the native WordPress XML sitemap for search engines. Pro adds sitemap caching for improved performance and a Google News sitemap.
Auto-Publish Posts with Missed Schedule: automatically publish posts that missed their scheduled publication time.
Lock Modified Date: prevent the post’s modified date from being updated unnecessarily. Pro adds support for custom post types and per-role permissions.
SVG File Upload: allow SVG file uploads. Files are sanitised on upload to ensure they are safe to use.
Auto convert image filename to Alt text: automatically pre-fill empty Alt text fields with the image filename.
Robots.txt and Ads.txt Manager: manage robots.txt, ads.txt, and app-ads.txt directly from the WordPress dashboard — no FTP or file uploads required.
Limit Image upload size: set a maximum file size for image uploads to stop users from uploading oversized files.
Convert underscore to hyphen in image filenames: automatically rename uploaded image files, replacing underscores with hyphens for better SEO-friendly URLs.
Auto add anchor target to Headings block: transform WordPress heading blocks into clickable anchor targets, making it easier for readers to link directly to specific sections.
