Lite Loader for Tin Canny 1.0.0

First public release.

Tin Canny saves the resume bookmark of iSpring, Articulate and Captivate modules every few seconds, and each save normally boots the whole WordPress site. Lite Loader makes those requests load only Tin Canny, LearnDash and your object cache plugin.

Results on a production LMS

LearnDash + Tin Canny + BuddyBoss + WooCommerce + Elementor, ~50 active plugins, 4 vCPU:

Bookmark save (activities/state)	Before	With Lite Loader
Response time	1.3 – 2.6 s	0.26 – 0.45 s
Memory	112 MB	12 MB
CPU time	~1.0 – 1.7 s	~0.2 s

What it does

• Lite mode applies only to /ucTinCan/.../activities/state requests with a stateId.
• xAPI statements, lesson completions, every page, wp-admin, AJAX, REST, cron and WP-CLI still load the full site.
• Nothing is written to the database. The trimmed plugin list exists only in memory, for that one request.
• Settings live in Tools → Tin Canny Lite Loader. There is a kill switch: define( 'LLFTC_DISABLE', true );.
• Responses in lite mode carry an X-Lite-Loader header, so you can check it in the browser's Network tab.
