## Description

Erfika Optimizer 3.4 is built around an adaptive Optimization Lab rather than a 
fixed list of generic optimization switches.

The Lab creates a local site profile, measures cleanup opportunities, estimates 
autoloaded option data through WordPress APIs, generates site-specific recommendations,
stores a local baseline, and lets administrators compare later scans against that
baseline.

Key features:

 * Explainable Opportunity Map: each finding answers what it means, what was measured,
   and what a non-technical administrator should do next.
 * Impact Passport: records Optimizer actions with before/after local measurements
   so administrators can see what actually changed.
 * Read-only heavy-autoload view: surfaces the largest always-loaded options without
   automatically deleting or disabling unknown data.
 * Local Optimization Lab with an on-demand site scan.
 * Site-specific recommendation engine based on measured local conditions.
 * Baseline and before/after comparison.
 * Local scan history (last 10 scans).
 * Conservative one-click optimization profile with settings rollback.
 * Approximate autoload footprint measurement using WordPress-loaded options.
 * Revision, expired transient, auto-draft, trash and junk-comment opportunity detection.
 * Cleanup of revisions, expired transients, auto drafts, trash, and spam/trash 
   comments.
 * Configurable revision retention.
 * Database table optimization.
 * Advanced CSS and JavaScript handle controls for experienced administrators.
 * Heartbeat controls for dashboard, editor, and front end.
 * Optional removal of common WordPress front-end overhead.
 * No cloud account and no automatic telemetry.

The Lab Score is an internal prioritization indicator based only on the local conditions
the plugin measures. It is not PageSpeed, Core Web Vitals, a hosting benchmark, 
or a guarantee of performance improvement.

The conservative profile changes only Erfika Optimizer settings and stores the previous
plugin settings so they can be restored. Destructive database cleanup remains a 
separate manual action and is never run by the conservative profile.

### Privacy

Erfika Optimizer performs its Optimization Lab scans locally. It does not automatically
send site, user, administrator, scan, or performance data to erfika.com or another
external service.

## Installation

 1. Upload and activate Erfika Optimizer.
 2. Open Settings > Erfika Optimizer.
 3. Run “Scan Site” in Optimization Lab.
 4. Review the site-specific findings before changing settings.
 5. Use the conservative profile only if its changes fit your site.
 6. Create a current backup before destructive database cleanup.

## FAQ

### What makes Optimization Lab different from a normal optimization checklist?

The Lab first profiles the current site and then shows recommendations only when
its measured local conditions trigger them. It also stores a baseline and local 
scan history so later scans can be compared.

### Does the Lab Score represent real-world page speed?

No. It is an internal prioritization score for the local conditions measured by 
the plugin. It is not a replacement for browser-based performance testing or Core
Web Vitals.

### Does the plugin send scan data to Erfika?

No. The WordPress.org edition performs these scans locally and does not automatically
transmit the results.

### What does the conservative profile change?

It changes only selected Erfika Optimizer settings, such as conservative revision
retention and low-risk WordPress overhead controls. The previous plugin settings
are stored for rollback. It does not automatically delete database content.

### Can cleanup actions be undone?

Destructive cleanup actions cannot be undone by the plugin. Use a current backup
before cleanup. The rollback feature applies to the conservative settings profile,
not deleted database content.

### Can disabling CSS or JavaScript handles break a site?

Yes. Asset handle controls are advanced tools and are not part of the automatic 
conservative profile.
