A lightweight plugin inspired by Jetpack but designed for privacy, speed, and accessibility.
I want it to be fast. I want to be able to enable any of the features and not have my Google Pagespeed score drop. To be fast it:
- Doesn't use jQuery or any other javascript framework. All javascript is vanilla js, and minified.
- Minifies all assets (JS and CSS)
- Loads all assets inline. They are already small, and loading them directly on the page means there are no server requests.
- Only loads things when they are needed. JS and CSS are only loaded for activated modules.
- Options? There's only one for the database; an array that stores what modules are active.
- Uses the minimum code possible. Minimum Javascript and PHP. Less code means more speed, and fewer bugs.
- All modules are disabled by default. You only enable the ones you need.
To ensure the plugin is as privacy focused as possible it:
- Does not phone out. No data is shared with third parties.
- Does not use standard social sharing javascripts (loaded from social networks servers).
- Does not track your usage of the plugin.
- Does not add generator comments, or secret comments to your site html.
- Admin Interface Tweaks - Small CSS changes to make the interface nicer to use.
- Avatars - Algorithmicly generated private avatars that are consistent across websites.
- Breadcrumbs
- Contact Form - Gutenberg compatible & private. Supports the spam blocker module.
