Functionalities

Stop installing 10 plugins for basic WordPress optimization. Functionalities gives you 15+ modules for performance, security, SEO, redirects, and content management—all from one lightweight dashboard.

About Functionalities

One plugin. 15+ features. Zero bloat.

I built Functionalities after getting tired of installing a dozen plugins just to do basic WordPress optimization. Each plugin adds overhead, conflicts with others, and slows down your site.

Functionalities consolidates everything into one modular toolkit that only loads what you actually use.

What’s included:

• Link Management — Automate nofollow on external links, manage exception lists, bulk update existing posts
• Redirect Manager — File-based 301/302/307/308 redirects with zero database overhead
• Login Security — Limit login attempts, lockout durations, hide error messages
• Performance & Cleanup — Disable emojis, embeds, XML-RPC, feeds, Gravatars, REST API discovery
• Schema Settings — Add microdata and JSON-LD breadcrumbs without another SEO plugin
• Custom Fonts — Register @font-face with WOFF2 support and preloading
• SVG Icons — Upload and insert inline SVGs in the block editor
• Header/Footer Snippets — GA4, custom scripts, wp_body_open support
• Content Integrity — Detect when updates break internal links or reduce word count
• And 6 more modules…

Why it’s different:

1. Modular architecture — Disabled modules don’t load any code
2. Static caching — Options are cached in memory, not re-fetched on every request
3. Fast-exit checks — Content filters bail early if there’s nothing to process
4. File-based storage — Redirects and tasks use flat files, not database queries

Pricing: Free during early access. Then $39/year for updates and support.

Requirements:

• WordPress 5.8+
• PHP 7.4+
