WP Multitool

Most WordPress performance plugins optimize the frontend — minifying CSS, deferring scripts, compressing images. But if your server takes 2 seconds to respond before any of that matters, you're optimizing the wrong end. WP Multitool is a backend optimization plugin for WordPress. It finds the actual performance bottlenecks that PageSpeed scores don't show: slow database queries, autoload bloat in wp_options, expired transients, orphaned data, and expensive plugin callbacks running on every page load. 13 modules, enable only what you need: - Slow Query AI Analyzer — monitors database queries in the background, runs EXPLAIN analysis, and identifies which plugin function caused the problem - Autoloader Optimizer — tracks which wp_options are actually used vs. loaded for nothing, then removes autoload from the unused ones - Database Optimizer — cleans expired transients, prunes post revisions, removes orphaned postmeta - Frontend Optimizer — defers render-blocking scripts, removes emoji support and XML-RPC - Find Slow Callbacks — identifies plugin hooks that take too long to execute - Config Manager — export/import WordPress settings across environments - System Info, Image Manager, Quick Updater, and more Disabled modules add zero overhead. No bloat from features you don't use. Also free: WP Site Inspector — a Chrome extension that lets you check any WordPress site's tech stack and performance from your browser toolbar. $50 one-time. No subscription. No yearly renewal. Unlimited sites. Lifetime updates. Built by a developer for developers who've had clients say "my site is slow" after everything visible has already been optimized.
