Reviews

March 11, 2022
A straightforward plugin that is easy to use. In my case, I only need the ‘General’ options to simplify the HTML that WP generates – removing the shortlink from <head>, query strings (version numbering) from CSS and JS files, etc. I then create a static mirror using wget and the output is clean.
