Before

SEOPress – Analytics panel

  • Found this GTM ID – GTM-T5TV9W6
  • Found this GA4 ID, but it was disabled – G-91SQP3DV2S
  • Found this Matomo authentication token, but it was disabled – mdzBU5bt&o!vU78%LmO*Yo7Q

After

Plugins added

Plugins removed

  • ✅ Duplicate Page (this is only required in the development phase of a website)
  • ✅ Maintenance (this is only required on demand, and it should not be active all the time)
  • ✅ Yoast SEO (it was disabled, outdated and SEOPress Pro was already installed)

Plugins deactivated

  • ✅ All-in-One WP Migration (this is only required if a website migration is taking place)
  • ✅ Email Encoder – Protect Email Addresses (this adds extra page loading time and extra JavaScript resources – also, it doesn’t really protect anything)
  • ✅ Mega Main Menu
  • ✅ Simple Custom CSS and JS (no need for this as all custom JS snippets have been moved to GTM)
  • ✅ Slider Revolution (I have coded a custom plugin – Revolution 0.0.1 – to replace thee bloated functionality of Slider Revolution and used a no-dependency library called Flickity)
  • ✅ NitroPack (this so-called “performance” plugin uses an external server for caching, so it negates its functionality)

Themes removed

  • ✅ Removed 4 old “Twenty” themes

Actions

  • ✅ Configured SEOPress and removed unused (but expensive) features such as redirections, broken link checks and Dublin Core

  • ✅ Configured the Lighthouse plugin and removed all unused WordPress functionality
  • ✅ Configured the Autoptimize plugin and joined all JS/CSS assets for faster loading
  • ✅ Improved Google’s PSI score from 48 to 87
