Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Core Diet

The Light tab is safe for virtually any site. For the Moderate and Strict tabs, read the descriptions carefully — some features may be required by your theme or plugins. Use the Scale tab analyzer for personalized recommendations.

Core Diet only disables features when you explicitly enable each toggle. Nothing changes until you save settings. If something breaks, simply turn the toggle off.

Yes. Core Diet makes changes at the WordPress level, which works perfectly with any caching plugin.

Yes. The WooCommerce quick profile is preconfigured to keep REST API and comments active for reviews. Be careful with the REST API settings if your store relies on public endpoints.

It detects active plugins (Jetpack, Yoast, Rank Math, AIOSEO), checks your site content (comment count), and cross-references your current settings to provide tailored recommendations with risk levels (Safe, Recommended, Evaluate).

Deactivating the plugin immediately restores all default WordPress behavior. No permanent changes are made. You can also use the "Reset all settings to defaults" button in the Scale tab.
