Dashboard Overview: Your Site’s New Control Center

The Dashboard is your central hub for managing and optimizing your site. It provides a quick overview of your site’s optimization status and easy access to key features. Think of it as your site’s mission control.

The Main Features Overview section displays the current status of key optimization areas. It offers a snapshot of how well your site is performing in areas like cleanup, security, and performance. Click any section to jump directly to its settings.

Quick Access to Settings allows for immediate configuration changes. Find shortcuts to frequently used settings and tweaks. This means less time searching and more time optimizing.

Performance Reports and Recommendations give you actionable insights. Interpret the metrics displayed to pinpoint areas for improvement. For example, a high load time score suggests investigating image optimization or caching configurations. Each recommendation links directly to relevant settings.

The dashboard provides a centralized view. From here, navigate to different plugin sections with ease. Understand your site’s overall health at a glance. Use the information to fine-tune settings and boost performance. Settings available vary depending on your installed extensions but commonly include options for toggling specific features, viewing detailed reports, and initiating scans. Every setting contains descriptions to help in the process.

Code Cleanup: Taming the Wild West of Site Bloat

This section tackles code bloat, a common cause of slow loading times. Unnecessary code, scripts, and styles accumulate over time, impacting performance. We help you identify and safely remove these elements, keeping your site lean and efficient.

Common sources of bloat include unused theme features. Many themes come with options you might not need, adding unnecessary code. Outdated plugins also contribute. They often contain outdated code or compatibility issues. Excessive comments, while helpful during development, can be removed in the final version.

Purify Power provides tools to address these issues. You can disable specific theme features you don’t use. This removes associated styles and scripts. The plugin identifies and removes outdated plugin code, ensuring compatibility and efficiency. You can also remove excessive comments to streamline your code.

Many features from the original plugin are carried over, including script and style disabling. We’ve enhanced these features with improved detection and safer removal processes.

For optimization, regularly audit your site’s code. Identify unused features and plugins. Always back up your site before making changes. Test thoroughly after removing any code to ensure functionality.

The settings in this section include options to disable specific theme features, remove outdated plugin code, and manage comments. Each setting provides a detailed description of its function and potential impact. Use them judiciously to achieve maximum performance gains.

Database Optimization: Giving Your Database a Spring Cleaning

A clean database is vital for optimal site performance. Over time, your database accumulates unnecessary data. This includes orphaned data from uninstalled plugins, spam comments, and revisions. Bloated database tables slow down your site. Purify Power offers tools to address these issues.

Our database optimization features are simple to use. First, analyze your database. This identifies areas for improvement. The plugin then allows you to clean up revisions. Limit the number of stored revisions to reduce bloat. Next, remove trashed posts, pages, and comments. Delete spam comments and unapproved comments in bulk. Optimize database tables to reclaim space. Remove orphaned relationship data to improve efficiency. Clean up transient options that are no longer needed.

Each optimization setting includes a description. Understand what each setting does before applying it. Regular database optimization keeps your site running smoothly. Access these options in the ‘Database Optimization’ section of the plugin. This section lists all available cleaning operations. Select the items you want to clean and run the process. Always back up your database before performing any optimization.

Feature Control: Disable the Unnecessary!

Many sites load features they don’t actually need. Emojis are a prime example. Unless your site actively uses them, disabling emoji support can reduce overhead. Similarly, if you don’t embed content from other platforms like social media, disabling embeds is beneficial. Consider disabling features like the heartbeat API if real-time functionality isn’t critical.

Purify Power lets you selectively disable these features. Navigate to the Feature Control section within the plugin. You’ll find options to disable specific functionalities. Evaluate each feature carefully before disabling. A staging environment is invaluable for testing. Deactivate features one at a time, checking for any unexpected issues.

Disabling unnecessary features offers several advantages. It reduces the number of HTTP requests, leading to faster loading times. Less code also means less processing power required from the server. This frees up resources, making your site more responsive. It streamlines the site’s codebase, potentially reducing conflicts and making it easier to maintain. Remember to clear your cache after making changes for optimal results.

Advanced Settings: Fine-Tuning for Performance Gurus

The Advanced Settings section allows experienced users to precisely control the plugin’s behavior. Extreme caution is advised. Incorrect configuration can negatively impact site functionality. Before making changes, ensure you have a recent backup.

**Advanced Caching Options:** Bypass the default caching mechanisms. Specify custom cache rules based on user roles or query parameters. Tailor cache expiration times for specific content types.

**CDN Integration:** Manually configure Content Delivery Network (CDN) settings. Input custom CDN URLs and configure asset delivery rules. Ensure your CDN is properly configured before enabling this feature. Improper CDN setup will break your site.

**Custom Code Snippets:** Add custom CSS or JavaScript code snippets directly through the plugin. This eliminates the need for separate code modification plugins. This feature is for users comfortable with coding. Validate your code before saving to prevent errors. Invalid code may prevent access to your site.

**Database Optimization:** Manually trigger database cleanup routines. Optimize specific database tables to improve query performance. Only run this if you understand database structures. Backups are essential before any database changes.

Always test changes in a staging environment before applying them to your live site. Consult documentation or support channels if unsure.
