Machete is a simple suite of tools that solve common WordPress annoyances using as few resources as posible. Machete doesn’t cover every single user case, but there is a huge amount of sites that would require less plugins if they used Machete. All Machete tools have two things in common: they solve a problems faced by many web developers and they do it using as few server resources as possible. So far, Machete includes the following tools: Header cleanup: WordPress places a lot of code inside the tag just to keep backward compatiblity or enable optional features. You can disable most of it and save some time from each page request while making your installation safer. Cookie law warning: We know you hate cookie warning bars. Well, this is the less hateable cookie bar you’ll find. It is really light, it won’t affect your PageSpeed score and plays well with static cache plugins. Analytics and custom code: You don’t need a zillion plugins to perform easy task like inserting a verification meta tag (Google Search Console, Bing, Pinterest), a json-ld snippet or a custom styleseet (Google Fonts, Print Styles, accesibility tweaks…). The Google Analytics tracking code if PageSpeed optimized, GPDR friendly and has the option to track Contact Form 7 events. Maintenance mode: The maintenance mode that ships with WordPress...

All right sparky!
