    Legally I can’t call it a “scam,” but there are major red flags for a plugin that’s supposed to “boost Core Web Vitals”:

    • it modifies wp-config.php to include an external file (core.web.vitals.php),
    • it downloads IonCube-encoded code and requires a remote license,
    • the promise to “optimize everything, regardless of the site structure” is technically untenable, and the UI itself admits the optimization is still manual.

    In short: best avoided.
