Perfmatters – Speed Optimization & Script Manager for WordPress

Perfmatters helps you make WordPress fast by turning off features you don’t need and trimming excess CSS/JS. With simple toggles and a powerful per-page Script Manager, you can stop unnecessary files from loading, reduce HTTP requests, and lower page size—no coding required. It’s a perfect complement to any caching solution and works great alongside popular performance plugins.

Fine-tune everything from emojis and embeds to heartbeat activity and post revisions, and use extra tools like prefetch/preconnect to speed up third-party resources. The result is a cleaner front end, a leaner database, and faster load times across your site.
