WP Toolbelt

A lightweight plugin inspired by Jetpack but designed for privacy, speed, and accessibility.

Speed?

I want it to be fast. I want to be able to enable any of the features and not have my Google Pagespeed score drop. To be fast it:

• Doesn't use jQuery or any other javascript framework. All javascript is vanilla js, and minified.
• Minifies all assets (JS and CSS)
• Loads all assets inline. They are already small, and loading them directly on the page means there are no server requests.
• Only loads things when they are needed. JS and CSS are only loaded for activated modules.
• Options? There's only one for the database; an array that stores what modules are active.
• Uses the minimum code possible. Minimum Javascript and PHP. Less code means more speed, and fewer bugs.
• All modules are disabled by default. You only enable the ones you need.

Privacy? GDPR?

To ensure the plugin is as privacy focused as possible it:

• Does not phone out. No data is shared with third parties.
• Does not use standard social sharing javascripts (loaded from social networks servers).
• Does not track your usage of the plugin.
• Does not add generator comments, or secret comments to your site html.

This plugin is heavily inspired by the Jetpack and Machete plugins. A lot of the modules use code from these plugins as starting points.
