SifrBolt — Spark (Lite)

A lightweight WordPress command deck: page cache drop-in, autoload inspector, transients janitor, cron manager, Redis hints — telemetry OFF by default.

Description

SifrBolt — Spark gives operators a clean control deck:

• Page cache drop-in (advanced-cache.php) with WooCommerce-aware bypasses and CalmSwitch integration. Opt-in from the Runway screen.
• Autoload Inspector to review heavy autoload=yes options, with JSON backup/restore.
• Transients Janitor (weekly clean via WordPress APIs).
• Cron Manager (toggle DISABLE_WP_CRON and guidance for real cron).
• Redis capability hints (no client required).
• Telemetry controls that are OFF by default. When enabled, only aggregated Core Web Vitals buckets are sent; no URLs or content are collected.

This plugin does not install software from outside WordPress.org. Upgrade links point to external documentation only.

Requirements

• WordPress 6.2+
• PHP 8.1+

Privacy

By default, this plugin does not transmit any data. If you explicitly enable telemetry, it sends only anonymized, bucketed performance counters (no URLs/HTML/user data). You can disable telemetry at any time from the Command Deck.

Installation

1. Upload the sifrbolt folder to /wp-content/plugins/ or install via “Add New Plugin”.
2. Activate the plugin.
3. (Optional) From SifrBolt — Spark → Runway, enable the page cache drop-in (advanced-cache). This writes wp-content/advanced-cache.php and can be turned off at any time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this plugin install or update code from outside WordPress.org?

No. It uses WordPress APIs and offers links to documentation for optional upgrades.

What happens on deactivation/uninstall?

If the advanced-cache drop-in was created by SifrBolt, it’s removed on deactivate/uninstall. Scheduled events, mu-plugin bridges, cache directories, and plugin options are also cleaned up.
