Lightify – Performance Optimization & Cleanup

Lightify is a lightweight performance helper for WordPress. It focuses on a small set of safe, well-understood front-end optimizations you can toggle from a single settings page — no caching layer, no file rewriting, and no external services.

What it does

• Bloat Removal – Optionally disable emojis, dashicons (front end), block editor CSS, jQuery Migrate, oEmbed discovery, XML-RPC, and RSS feeds.
• Network Improvements – Add preconnect and dns-prefetch resource hints for the origins you specify, printed by WordPress in the document head.
• Media – Add native loading="lazy" to iframes in your post content.

Every optimization is off or on by a simple checkbox and applies only where noted. If something looks off, just turn the relevant option back off.

External services

This plugin does not connect to, or transmit any data to, any external service. All functionality runs locally on your WordPress installation.

Source Code

Lightify contains no minified, compiled, or obfuscated code. All PHP, CSS, and other source files shipped in the plugin are the original human-readable source and require no build step. The plugin’s stylesheet (assets/css/admin.css) is enqueued directly in its readable form.
