Perfmatters Performance for WordPress

Perfmatters is a lightweight and user-friendly web performance plugin for WordPress, designed to optimize your website by disabling unnecessary features, managing scripts, and improving overall speed. Unlike many other performance plugins, Perfmatters focuses on fine-tuning and removing bloat rather than implementing complex caching solutions.

• DNS Prefetching & Preconnect: Enable DNS prefetching and preconnect to external domains to speed up resource loading and reduce latency.
• Lazy Loading: Implement lazy loading for images, iframes, and videos to improve initial page load speed by delaying the loading of non-critical content.
• Database Optimization: Clean and optimize your WordPress database by removing unnecessary revisions, drafts, transients, and more.
• Preloading & Pre-fetching: Preload important resources and pre-fetch DNS for external resources, ensuring faster loading of critical content.
