A lightweight WordPress plugin designed to boost performance by disabling unnecessary features in WooCommerce and Jetpack.
Ideal for WooCommerce stores looking to streamline operations and reduce server load.

🔧 Features

  • Disables WooCommerce Order Splitter Async Queue
    Prevents unnecessary background processing to speed up order handling.

  • Disables Jetpack Bloat Modules
    Automatically disables modules like:

    • scan
    • protect
    • photon
    • related-posts

  • Automatically Deactivates Jetpack Scan (if active)
    Ensures Jetpack’s heavy scanning module is turned off and logs it.

  • Optional: Disables WP-Cron
    (Uncomment the line to enable this feature)
    For those using a real cron job instead of WordPress's built-in pseudo-cron.

  • Optional: Reduces Heartbeat API Frequency
    Reduces the frequency of AJAX calls from 15s to 60s to lessen load.

🚀 Installation

  1. Upload the plugin folder to /wp-content/plugins/ or install via the WordPress Plugin Upload interface.
  2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress.
  3. (Optional) Uncomment the DISABLE_WP_CRON line in the plugin if you're using real server-side cron.
