About this plugin
AQT alloq Tempo bundles the performance features most sites need into one lightweight plugin. Everything is switched off after activation: you turn on only what you want, one switch at a time. A disabled feature costs nothing on the front end, its code is not even loaded.
digital.
What makes it different: a per-page Script Manager (switch any script or style off where it is not needed, optionally as a must-use plugin so disabled plugins are not even loaded), fonts and analytics hosted locally for GDPR-friendly setups, and database cleanups with preview, schedule and log, all in one plugin and without upsells.
What it does
- Clean up WordPress: remove emoji, embeds, jQuery Migrate, Dashicons for visitors, head clutter; control Heartbeat, revisions and autosave; comments, feeds and REST API restrictions; XML-RPC hardening; custom login URL; WooCommerce script and style control; block style loading.
- JavaScript: delay scripts until the first interaction, defer scripts, minify JavaScript. Quick exclusions for popular plugins, per-page switches.
- CSS: minify CSS and remove unused CSS (generated locally on your server, no cloud service).
- Images and media: lazy load images, iframes, videos and CSS backgrounds, YouTube preview facade, add missing image dimensions, lazy elements, WebP/AVIF output for new uploads.
- Preloading: preload critical images and other resources, preconnect and DNS prefetch, fetchpriority, speculative loading, instant page, Early Hints headers.
- Fonts and analytics: host Google Fonts locally with font-display swap, local Google Analytics (gtag) copy with consent handling.
- Script Manager: disable scripts and styles on selected pages, one by one or all assets of a plugin or theme at once.
- Database: scan and clean revisions, transients, orphaned data; optimize tables; scheduled cleanup; autoload audit.
- Tools: safe mode, import and export, presets (safe, balanced, aggressive) with undo, system info, WP-CLI commands.
Performance by design: one output buffer and a single HTML pass for all features, no front-end JavaScript unless a feature needs it, a few kilobytes per feature.
