## Descriere

**A dozen single-purpose plugins do what this one does — and most of them phone 
home. This one never does.**

XO Magic Box Light is the maintenance layer nearly every WordPress site ends up 
needing: front-end performance, head cleanup, essential SEO, security hardening 
and the small tweaks you always apply anyway. Seven groups of switches in one fast
admin screen, instead of a shelf of separate plugins each loading its own framework.

Every feature is a self-contained module, and a module that is switched off **loads
no code at all** — the things you leave off cost you nothing at runtime.

There is no account, no subscription, no telemetry and **not a single outbound request**.
Nothing in this plugin contacts any external server, ever.

#### It works alongside your cache plugin, not instead of it

A page cache makes WordPress send a page faster. This plugin makes the page itself
lighter before anything caches it — fewer scripts, fewer third-party connections,
less markup. The two jobs are different, so nothing here duplicates or fights your
caching setup, and the dashboard **detects other active cache and optimization plugins**
so you can see up front where features might overlap.

#### Faster pages

 * Remove jQuery Migrate, asset query strings, front-end Dashicons and unused block-
   library CSS.
 * Minify HTML, safely: `pre`, `textarea`, `script`, `style` and `code` blocks are
   never touched.
 * Defer JavaScript, with an exclusion list.
 * Delay JavaScript until the first interaction, matched by keyword — ideal for 
   analytics, chat widgets and trackers.
 * Preconnect hints for third-party origins, handed to WordPress’s own resource-
   hints pipeline, plus a preload list for your own critical assets.
 * Speculative loading (prefetch/prerender) for near-instant navigation, configured
   through core’s own ruleset on WordPress 6.8+.
 * Disable or relax Google Fonts, and force `font-display: swap`.
 * Throttle the Heartbeat API, and send `Last-Modified` headers.

#### Better Core Web Vitals

 * Preload the featured image as the LCP candidate, with a proper responsive `srcset`.
 * Adjustable above-the-fold lazy-load threshold, so the first images are not lazy-
   loaded.
 * Stop generating registered image sizes you never use, on future uploads.
 * Control big-image scaling and the maximum upload dimension.

#### Cleanup

 * Remove the generator meta tag, RSD/WLW links, shortlink, REST and oEmbed head
   links, and the recent-comments inline style.
 * Disable emojis, embeds and the feeds you do not use.
 * Limit or disable post revisions; keep trashed items instead of auto-purging them.
 * Scheduled database cleanup, plus an on-demand cleanup that shows you **how many
   rows each type would remove before it removes anything**.

#### Essential SEO

 * robots.txt editor.
 * Noindex for paginated archives and post subpages.
 * Noindex on staging and non-production environments, detected automatically.
 * Attachment-page redirects and forced HTTPS, including a mixed-content fix.
 * `rel="noopener noreferrer"` on external new-tab links, with optional `nofollow`.
 * Disable the built-in search where a site does not need it.

#### Security hardening

 * Limit login attempts, and unify login error messages so they stop confirming 
   valid usernames.
 * Block user enumeration.
 * Disable XML-RPC, application passwords and the built-in file editor.
 * Security headers, `X-Powered-By` removal and `X-Pingback` removal.
 * Comment spam honeypot — no captcha, no JavaScript, no external service, cache-
   safe.
 * Password-protect the whole front end behind one shared password, for staging 
   and private previews.

#### Tweaks you would otherwise install plugins for

 * Disable comments, the comment website field and self-pingbacks.
 * Classic widgets, no remote block patterns, no block directory or Openverse.
 * Local placeholder instead of Gravatar, so no visitor data reaches an avatar service.
 * Clean up the admin bar and dashboard, remove rarely used widgets, show post and
   page IDs.
 * Duplicate any post or page in one click.
 * Auto-publish posts stuck on „Missed schedule”.
 * Choose whether WordPress emails you about every auto-update, only failures, or
   never.

#### Change things without holding your breath

 * Take a settings snapshot before risky changes, and restore it in one click.
 * Curated one-click presets.
 * Import and export the whole configuration.
 * Conflict detection for other optimization and cache plugins.

#### What this plugin does not do

Being explicit saves everyone time:

 * It is **not a page cache**. Use it together with your caching plugin.
 * It does **not** minify or combine CSS and JavaScript, and does not generate critical
   CSS. HTML is the only thing minified here.
 * It is **not** a full SEO suite. It handles indexing hygiene, not editorial SEO
   analysis.
 * It is **not** a firewall or malware scanner. It hardens configuration; it does
   not police traffic.
 * No backups, no SMTP delivery, no cookie banner, no image CDN.

#### Privacy

No telemetry, no analytics, no advertising, no remote account features, no licence
checks, and no outbound HTTP requests of any kind. Everything happens on your own
server. Settings live in a single autoloaded option; feature data lives in its own
non-autoloaded rows so it never bloats the settings load.

#### Good fit for

 * Site owners replacing several small maintenance plugins with one.
 * Agencies standardising client sites, with presets and export/import.
 * Shops and content sites working on Core Web Vitals.
 * Shared hosting, where every avoided request matters.
 * Cleaning up an inherited WordPress install.

## Instalare

 1. Install through **Plugins  Add New**, or upload the `xo-magic-box-light` folder
    to `/wp-content/plugins/`.
 2. Activate **XO Magic Box Light** on the **Plugins** screen.
 3. Open **XO Magic Box Light** in the admin sidebar.
 4. Optionally apply the **Recommended** preset on the Dashboard tab for a safe baseline
    in one click.
 5. Take a snapshot before making broad changes, and check the conflict notice if you
    run a cache or optimization plugin.

No account, API key or configuration file is required.

## Întrebări frecvente

### Does it replace my cache plugin?

No, and it is not meant to. A cache plugin serves pages faster; this plugin makes
the page lighter in the first place. Run both. The Dashboard flags other active 
cache and optimization plugins so you can spot overlapping features before enabling
them.

### Does the plugin collect any data or phone home?

No. There is zero telemetry, no licence or update server of its own, and no feature
that contacts any external service. The plugin makes no outbound HTTP requests at
all.

### Will enabling a lot of modules slow my site down?

No. A disabled module never loads its code — `boot()` only runs for what you switch
on, so there is no dormant overhead. Settings are read from a single autoloaded 
option.

### What if I change a lot of settings and something breaks?

Use the Dashboard’s safe mode: snapshot before you start, restore in one click if
anything misbehaves. Presets are snapshotted automatically before they are applied.

### Does it work with WooCommerce, page builders and caching plugins?

Yes. It does not assume a theme or builder, and the conflict detector warns about
common cache and optimizer plugins.

### Does the database cleanup delete anything without asking?

No. Each cleanup type shows its row count first, and nothing is removed until you
click that type. Auto-drafts follow the same 7-day age rule WordPress core uses,
so a post you are still writing is never touched.

### What happens to my data if I uninstall?

Every option the plugin created, its snapshot and its login-lockout transients are
removed on uninstall, on every site of a multisite network.

### Does it work on multisite?

It runs per site: every site in a network keeps its own settings, whether you activate
it per site or network-wide. There is no network-admin settings screen, so each 
site is configured from its own admin. The conflict detector also takes network-
activated plugins into account, and uninstalling removes the plugin’s data from 
every site in the network.

### Is there a fuller version?

Yes. XO Magic Box (the full edition) adds local WebP/AVIF conversion, schema.org
structured data and Open Graph, IndexNow, a redirect manager, 404 monitor, activity
and mail logs, conditional per-page asset unloading with a live asset scanner, self-
hosted Core Web Vitals monitoring, lazy-loaded video embeds, login-URL renaming,
WooCommerce optimisation, WP-CLI commands, and Dashboard tools such as a database
optimizer, serialization-safe search & replace and a broken-link checker. Those 
features are marked with a „Pro” badge in this plugin’s admin so you can see what
they are. It is a separate, larger package — none of its code ships here.

### How is the admin translated?

The plugin is fully internationalised and translations come from translate.wordpress.
org, so WordPress downloads and applies the pack for your site language automatically.
Contributions in any language are welcome there.
