Not possible

  • [06.14.19] Add support for Google Tag Manager for local analytics. Reason: New containers and previews rely on the latest version of the script. Google will generate a bad request if trying to host locally.
  • [06.19.17] Add WordPress version compatibility message. Reason: This isn’t possible because the plugin isn’t in the repository.

Not planning to implement

If you have any questions as to why we’ve chosen not to implement something, feel free to contact us.

  • [05.03.20] Limit file upload size for non-admin users. Reason: Already handled with other solutions and not the focus of our plugin.
  • [04.27.20] Easier way to add multiple URL patterns other than Regex. Reason: Regex is the most powerful solution. We are continuously improving our regex documentation.
  • [02.24.20] Toggle to disable built-in WordPress pages.
  • [01.08.20] Reseller option. Reason: Our ecommerce platform doesn’t support this.
  • [12.08.19] Add admin bar Script Manager link to home page settings on the main WP Admin Dashboard. Reason: We are improving the Script Manager visibility in other ways.
  • [11.27.19] Host Hubspot tracking locally. Reason: This would need to be compliant with GDPR and other third-party solutions to load it properly. At this point, we aren’t planning to commit the development time required for this feature.
  • [10.22.19] Script Manager, ability to save configurations of page settings, and load elsewhere. Reason: Not a supportable solution due to post IDs not matching, etc.
  • [09.08.19] Migrate to gtag.js from analytics.js for local analytics implementation. Reason: analytics.js is the lighter and faster version, and therefore we will be working to add more integrations to that. gtag.js is actually 2x the size of the analytics.js script.
  • [06.19.19] Add additional page exceptions to go along with Disable WooCommerce Scripts option. Reason: If you have problems with global disables, you can always use the Script Manager.
  • [06.14.19] Add customizable cron event time for local analytics. Reason: Not really needed.
  • [06.10.19] Prefetch links, Google quicklink. Reason: We are going to be implementing instant.page.
  • [05.27.19] Script Manager, network-wide settings for multisite environments. Reason: This is not a supportable solution.
  • [01.17.19] Really Simple SSL Pro Similar functions. Reason: You should update your HTTPS links in your database. Really Simple SSL should never be used as a permanent solution.
  • [01.06.19] Host Facebook Pixel locally. Reason: This would need to be compliant with GDPR, along with third-party integrations to be useful to ecommerce site owners. At this point, we aren’t planning to commit the development time required for this feature.
  • [07.29.18] P3 Profiler similar functions. Reason: Query Monitor is already a well-supported plugin that we already recommend to debug performance issues.
  • [01.25.18] HTTP/2 server push https://bjornjohansen.no/http2-push-wordpress Reason: This can cause problems if pushing the wrong assets or too many.
  • [01.29.18] White label for clients.
  • [01.21.18] WordPress Menu Cache. Reason: Not supportable long-term and also might not be useful for a majority of users.
  • [12.07.17] Hide/disable menu elements in dashboard. Reason: This isn’t a performance feature.
  • [09.03.17] Disable blog (comments, categories, tags, etc.) Reason: Core WordPress feature that doesn’t impact performance when not used. We already have an option to disable comments.
  • [08.01.17] Disable automatic JPEG compression. Reason: This pertains more to quality than performance and we always recommend using an image optimization plugin, such as ShortPixel.
  • [07.24.17] Remove multiple instances of Font Awesome if loading from different plugins/themes. Reason: We recommend disabling additional Font Awesome calls with the Script Manager when properly enqueued.
  • [06.30.17] Show local gravatar (disable external gravatar calls). Reason: Recommend loading gravatars from CDN instead.
  • [08.03.18] Delete default WordPress themes. Reason: Easy enough to do already within WordPress.
