Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Basic Optimization
No. The plugin does not modify WordPress core files. It uses WordPress hooks and options only.
Yes. The plugin supports network activation and Network Admin settings pages. When network activated, all sites use the network settings and subsite admin pages are not shown.
Yes. Each optimization is managed separately from the plugin settings screen.
No. Disable XML-RPC only if your site does not rely on XML-RPC-based tools, remote publishing apps, or services.
It may help in some caching or CDN setups, but it can also make cache invalidation less explicit. Use this option only if it fits your caching strategy.
On single-site WordPress, go to Basic Optimization in the WordPress admin menu. On multisite network activation, use Network Admin > Basic Optimization only. Email disable controls are available under Basic Optimization > Email Notifications.
The plugin provides dropdown controls to disable the auto email sent to the site administrator when a new user registers, the auto email sent to the site administrator when a user changes their password, the moderation email sent when a comment awaits moderation, and the automatically approved comment notification email. WordPress sends the automatically approved comment notification to the post author, which may be the site administrator depending on the post author.
