## Description

**Digify Speed Engine** is a lightweight, zero-dependency WordPress performance 
suite designed to optimize Core Web Vitals, boost Google PageSpeed scores, and accelerate
WooCommerce checkout flows.

Unlike heavy alternatives, Digify Speed Engine runs 100% locally on your server 
without relying on external SaaS APIs, third-party subscriptions, or intrusive background
processes.

### Key Features:

 * **Automatic WebP Conversion:** Automatically generates lightweight `.webp` images
   for all new uploads and intermediary thumbnail sizes using native PHP GD/Imagick.
 * **Smart Image Downscaling:** Scales down high-resolution camera uploads to a 
   custom maximum width (e.g., 2048px).
 * **Native Lazy Loading:** Enforces `loading="lazy"` on all content image tags.
 * **WooCommerce Cart Fragments Optimizer:** Dequeues the resource-heavy AJAX cart
   fragment script on non-shop pages (blogs, home, static pages).
 * **WooCommerce Asset Dequeuing:** Prevents WooCommerce stylesheets and scripts
   from loading on non-commerce pages.
 * **Defer Non-Critical JavaScript:** Appends `defer` attributes to non-essential
   scripts to eliminate render-blocking resources.
 * **WordPress Bloat Cleaner:** Removes emojis, discovery links, RSD, WLW manifests,
   shortlinks, and generator meta tags.
 * **Heartbeat API Governor:** Throttles background WordPress Heartbeat API calls
   from 15s to 60s to reduce server CPU consumption.
