SpeedNest

SpeedNest is a complete, commercial-grade WordPress performance and multi-layer cache management plugin crafted by Code Buddy’s (https://codebuddys.in).

Design Preservation Guarantee:
SpeedNest is designed to improve performance without intentionally changing website design or visual appearance. Aggressive optimization features may affect functionality on some websites and therefore require explicit activation and testing.

Key Objectives

• Maximum Safe Performance: Improve Page Loading Speed, TTFB, Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, INP), CSS/JS delivery, HTML minification, image and font loading.
• Complete Multi-Layer Cache Control: Genuine, verified cache purging across 11 cache layers: Page Cache, Object Cache (Redis/Memcached), Transients, CSS Cache, JS Cache, HTML Cache, PHP OPcache, Server-Level Cache, and Cloudflare CDN.

Features

• Safe Mode by Default: Preserves your design, layout, typography, animations, WooCommerce checkout, and Elementor layouts.
• Non-Destructive File Architecture: Original theme, plugin, and core files are never modified or overwritten.
• Multi-Layer Cache Purge: Real status reporting for every layer. Never displays “Cache Cleared” unless the purge actually succeeded.
• Nuclear Purge Option: “Purge Everything Possible” across all internal and connected layers.
• Smart Lazy Loading: Excludes above-the-fold hero images to protect Largest Contentful Paint (LCP).
• Guaranteed Native Logo Preservation: Header logos, mobile brand headers, and company emblems are 100% bypassed from lazy loading and dimensional alterations.
• Non-Blocking Asynchronous CSS: Accessory stylesheets use modern non-blocking media=”print” delivery, eliminating render-blocking delays without saturating cellular network bandwidth.
• Elementor & WooCommerce Native Compatibility: Automatically detects edit modes, protects structural stylesheets, and preserves responsive breakpoints.
• Conflict Detection: Scans for other performance plugins (WP Rocket, LiteSpeed, W3 Total Cache) and provides safe one-click conflict resolution without deleting data.
• Official Cloudflare API: Purge entire zones or specific URLs on post updates.
• WP-CLI Support: Manage caching, status, and diagnostics via command line (wp wpso cache clear).

External services

This plugin connects to or interacts with the following external services to provide optional caching, font optimization, speed diagnostics, and script deferral features:

Cloudflare API

• What the service is: Cloudflare (https://www.cloudflare.com) edge CDN and caching service.
• What it is used for: Allows administrators to purge the Cloudflare CDN edge cache (entire zone or specific URLs) directly from WordPress when site content is modified.
• What data is sent and when: Only API authentication credentials (configured by the administrator) and cache purge requests (zone IDs or post URLs) are sent to the Cloudflare API (https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/). No visitor or user personal data is ever collected or sent. Data is sent only when the administrator enters their API token and triggers a cache purge.

Google Fonts

• What the service is: Google Fonts (https://fonts.google.com).
• What it is used for: Used for the optional “Local Google Fonts” optimization. It downloads Google Fonts stylesheets and font files to store and serve them locally from your server, eliminating external third-party requests on page visits.
• What data is sent and when: Standard server-to-server HTTP GET requests to fetch font CSS from fonts.googleapis.com and font binaries from fonts.gstatic.com. No visitor or personal data is transmitted. This occurs only when the administrator enables local Google Font optimization and a font is downloaded.

Google PageSpeed Insights API

• What the service is: Google PageSpeed Insights & Lighthouse API (https://pagespeed.web.dev/).
• What it is used for: Allows administrators to run performance audits of their public homepage to measure Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, INP) directly from the WordPress admin diagnostics screen.
• What data is sent and when: The public URL of the website is sent to the Google PageSpeed Insights API (https://www.googleapis.com/pagespeedonline/v5/runPagespeed) or opened via direct link to https://pagespeed.web.dev/. No personal user or visitor data is sent. Data is transmitted only when the administrator initiates an audit or clicks the external audit link.

GTmetrix

• What the service is: GTmetrix Performance Testing (https://gtmetrix.com).
• What it is used for: Provides an external diagnostic link in the admin dashboard so administrators can benchmark their live site performance and Core Web Vitals on GTmetrix.
• What data is sent and when: The public website URL is included as a query parameter in the outbound browser link. No visitor data is collected or transmitted by the plugin. Sent only when clicked by an administrator.
• Service Provider: Carbon60 / GTmetrix

YouTube & Vimeo (Lightweight Embeds)

• What the service is: YouTube (https://www.youtube.com) and Vimeo (https://vimeo.com).
• What it is used for: When the lightweight video embeds feature is enabled, the plugin replaces heavy embedded iframes with responsive preview thumbnails until the visitor clicks play, saving bandwidth and improving initial page load time.
• What data is sent and when: Fetches static video thumbnails from img.youtube.com or loads video players from youtube.com or player.vimeo.com only when an embedded video exists on a page and is clicked by a visitor.

Third-Party Script Optimization & Delaying (Meta/Facebook Pixel, Microsoft Clarity, Hotjar, TikTok)

• What the service is: Deferral support for third-party scripts including Meta/Facebook Pixel (connect.facebook.net, fbevents.js), Google Analytics/Tag Manager (google-analytics.com, googletagmanager.com), Microsoft Clarity (clarity.ms), Hotjar (static.hotjar.com), and TikTok Pixel (analytics.tiktok.com).
• What it is used for: The plugin does NOT initiate connections or transmit user data to these services on its own. When site owners embed tracking scripts on their website, SpeedNest provides a delay-loading feature to postpone executing these scripts until user interaction (such as mouse move, scroll, touch, or click) or a safety timeout, preventing them from blocking page rendering and slowing down Core Web Vitals.
• What data is sent and when: SpeedNest transmits NO data. When the visitor interacts with the page, the user’s browser loads the scripts directly from the respective third-party provider according to the site owner’s existing configuration.
