## Description

MP Performance Optimizer is a lightweight, dependency-free performance plugin for
WordPress. It only affects visitors who are not logged in, so your admin experience
is never impacted.

**Features**

 * Defer JavaScript execution
 * Move scripts to the footer
 * Load CSS asynchronously
 * Combine multiple CSS files into one cached file
 * Minify combined CSS
 * Remove emoji detection scripts
 * Remove block library / global styles CSS (classic themes)
 * Remove Dashicons for logged-out visitors
 * Simple exclusion lists so nothing breaks
 * Built-in cache management screen

#### Safety first

 * Optimizations never run in wp-admin, AJAX, REST, WP-CLI, or cron requests.
 * Optimizations never run for logged-in users.
 * An emergency “Disable All” switch is available at all times.
 * Append `?mpprfo_no_opt` to any front-end URL to temporarily bypass all optimizations
   for testing.

## Installation

 1. Upload the `mukesh-parihar-performance-optimizer` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`.
 2. Activate the plugin through the “Plugins” screen in WordPress.
 3. Go to **Settings  Mukesh Parihar Optimizer** to configure optimizations.

## FAQ

### Will this break my site?

Optimizations only run for logged-out visitors, and every optimization has an exclusion
list. Test on staging first and use the exclusion fields if something looks off.

### How do I find a CSS or JS handle to exclude?

View your site’s page source (logged out) and look for the `id="HANDLE-css"` or `
id="HANDLE-js"` attribute on `<link>` / `<script>` tags. Use the part before `-css`/`-
js`.

### How do I temporarily disable everything?

Enable “Disable All Optimizations” on the General tab, or append `?mpprfo_no_opt`
to any front-end URL.
