A lightweight and modular plugin to apply performance, security, and database micro-optimizations to your WordPress site.
Beriyack Optimizations gives you back control over WordPress’s core features. Instead of installing multiple plugins for small tasks, enable only the optimizations you need from a single, simple, and intuitive settings page.
This plugin is ideal for site administrators who want to improve their site’s speed and security without adding unnecessary code.
Current Features:
- Control the number of revisions: Define the exact number of revisions to keep per post/page (or -1 for unlimited).
- Disable Emojis: Removes emoji-related scripts and styles to lighten your pages.
- Disable XML-RPC: Blocks access to
xmlrpc.php to prevent brute-force attacks.
- Remove WordPress version: Hides your WordPress version from the public source code.
- Remove RSS feed links: Cleans up your site’s header by removing links to RSS feeds.
Each feature is independent. You have full control.
Confidentialité
This plugin does not collect or store any personal data from your site’s visitors. All information managed by this plugin is retrieved from your existing WordPress database or configured by the site administrator.
FAQ
Why disable XML-RPC?
The xmlrpc.php file is an old method for allowing third-party applications to communicate with your site. Today, it is largely replaced by the WordPress REST API and is a frequent target for brute-force attacks. Disabling it is a simple and effective security measure if you do not use applications that depend on it (like the old WordPress mobile app).
Will disabling emojis break my site?
No. Almost all modern browsers and operating systems display emojis natively. The script that WordPress loads is a compatibility solution for very old systems. Disabling it improves performance with no visible impact for the vast majority of your visitors.
What is the purpose of limiting revisions?
Every time you save a post, WordPress creates a copy (a revision). Over time, this can add thousands of unnecessary rows to your database, slowing it down. Limiting revisions (for example, to the last 5) is an excellent practice for maintaining a healthy database.
