Perfmatters is a lightweight WordPress performance plugin that optimises WordPress settings and disables unneeded functionality (JS & CSS) in order to speed up any WordPress site.
It is a simple plugin that allows you to turn on and off WordPress features without any technical experience. Your website will have fewer HTTP requests, less code to improve the user experience, and a speedier WordPress admin panel for logged-in users.
To install the Perfmatters on your WordPress Website. First, you need to Purchase the Plugin from the Perfmatters Website. After you’ve downloaded the plugin, follow the steps below to install the Plugin.
The Perfmatters plugin has a powerful Script Manager. With a single click, you may disable JavaScript per post/page or across your entire site. All scripts are organised by plugin and theme so you can simply identify which scripts are being utilised by which. You can also disable scripts based on your device (desktop or mobile) and whether you are logged in or logged out. This is quite strong and can significantly improve the speed of your WordPress blogs (especially your homepage).
Here are a few examples of how this can be used:
Script Manager is designed to be simple to use, although it contains many complicated functions. For example, you can use Regex to disable any combination of scripts. MU mode elevates the Script Manager to a whole new level. You can modify every component of a plugin, including its front-end scripts, inline code, and MySQL queries (disable plugins entirely). Use Testing Mode (New) to safely examine your settings before making changes to your public site.
Perfmatters provides Direct assistance from the plugin’s developers. The team has over 19 years of everyday WordPress experience. Creating plugins is the team’s full-time job. The development team is constantly adding new features and addressing bugs. Their plugins are always tested with the most recent WordPress releases.
In addition, the team feels that providing adequate documentation saves everyone time. That’s why they provide more than 80+ step-by-step instructions on how to use and setup Perfmatters.

Perfmatters is a great tool for enhancing your website’s page speed and, as a result, page experience. Always remember the Core Web Vitals. They will play an important influence in the ranking of your website. The only choice is to optimise your website.
WP Rocket is another option to consider if you require WordPress speed plugins (My WP Rocket review here). To be clear, you can use both WP Rocket and perfmatters at the same time; their functionalities hardly overlap as perfmatters is a request optimization plugin and WPRocket is a caching plugin.
In the end, you can manually code any change perfmatters allows you to do in WordPress. There are a lot of free plugins that can perform all of the functions that perfmatters performs if you don’t want to go into coding. For instance, there are free plugins to limit or disable the heartbeat API and to disable XML-RPC.
