[Pro](https://www.adminoptimizer.com/) adds options to manually clean individual DB tables, track unused options, and remove autoload bloat from the Options table. * **Heartbeat Control**: Modify the WordPress Heartbeat API interval to reduce server load and improve the editor experience. * **Disable Emojis**: remove all emoji-related styles and scripts from the site. * **Disable jQuery Migrate**: disable loading of the jQuery Migrate script on the site. * **Disable 404 URL Redirect**: stop WordPress from redirecting requests to a similar- looking URL when a page is not found, preventing unintended content being shown. * **Remove oEmbed links**: remove the “json+oembed” and “xml+oembed” discovery links from the site’s header, preventing other sites from embedding your content. ### Security * **Block Failed Login**: limit failed login attempts and block bad actors from carrying out brute-force attacks. [Pro](https://www.adminoptimizer.com/) adds options to customise the lockout duration, a full lockout mode, and the ability to hide the login form during lockout. * **Two-Factor Authentication**: enable two-factor authentication (TOTP) for all your users. [Pro](https://www.adminoptimizer.com/) adds options to make 2FA compulsory for defined user roles, block users without 2FA from logging in, and allow users to save trusted devices. * **Custom Login URL**: hide the wp-login.php URL and create a custom secret login URL for your users. * **Disable XML-RPC**: disable the XML-RPC protocol. XML-RPC has no built-in encryption or authentication hardening, so disabling it is recommended unless explicitly required. * **Block Admin Access**: prevent selected user roles from accessing the WordPress Dashboard and redirect them to a URL of your choice. * **Disable User Account**: disable user accounts for inactive users and prevent them from logging in. * **Hide WordPress Version**: remove the WP version tag from the site’s header. * **Remove X-Pingback header**: remove the “X-Pingback” HTTP header to prevent other sites from pinging back to yours. * **Remove X-Powered-By header**: remove the “X-Powered-By” HTTP header to hide PHP and server information. * **Remove REST API link**: remove REST API discovery links from the site’s header for non-authenticated users. * **Remove Really Simple Discovery (RSD) link**: remove the RSD link used by XML- RPC clients to discover your endpoint. * **Remove Shortlink**: remove the shortlink tag from the site’s header. ### Content & SEO * **Post Cloner**: easily clone posts and any other post type, including all post meta and taxonomies. * **Content Refresh**: easily keep your content updated for SEO. Clone a post as a draft child. When you (re)publish the clone it updates the original post — perfect for refreshing old content without creating a new URL. [Pro](https://www.adminoptimizer.com/) * **XML Sitemap**: configure and manage the native WordPress XML sitemap for search engines. [Pro](https://www.adminoptimizer.com/) adds sitemap caching for improved performance and a Google News sitemap. * **Auto-Publish Posts with Missed Schedule**: automatically publish posts that missed their scheduled publication time. * **Lock Modified Date**: prevent the post’s modified date from being updated unnecessarily. [Pro](https://www.adminoptimizer.com/) adds support for custom post types and per-role permissions. * **SVG File Upload**: allow SVG file uploads. Files are sanitised on upload to ensure they are safe to use. * **Auto convert image filename to Alt text**: automatically pre-fill empty Alt text fields with the image filename. * **Robots.txt and Ads.txt Manager**: manage robots.txt, ads.txt, and app-ads.txt directly from the WordPress dashboard — no FTP or file uploads required. * **Limit Image upload size**: set a maximum file size for image uploads to stop users from uploading oversized files. * **Convert underscore to hyphen in image filenames**: automatically rename uploaded image files, replacing underscores with hyphens for better SEO-friendly URLs. * **Auto add anchor target to Headings block**: transform WordPress heading blocks into clickable anchor targets, making it easier for readers to link directly to specific sections. * **Disable Category Archive Page**: disable all category archive pages on the site frontend. * **Disable Tag Archive Page**: disable all tag archive pages on the site frontend. * **Disable Author Archive Page**: disable all author archive pages on the site frontend. * **Disable Date Archive Page**: disable all date-based archive pages on the site frontend. ### Custom Fields & Post Types * **Custom Fields Builder**: build a custom fields layout and create fields for any post type. Show or hide fields based on post type, post status, user role, and more. [Pro](https://www.adminoptimizer.com/) * **Custom Post Status**: register custom post statuses. [Pro](https://www.adminoptimizer.com/) adds options to assign them to specific post types and restrict availability by user role. * **Custom Post Types**: register new custom post types for various content. * **Custom Taxonomies**: register new custom taxonomies to support all post types. ### Admin & Users * **SMTP Email**: replace the default WordPress mailer with an external SMTP service to ensure reliable email delivery. * **Hide Update notice**: hide the update notification for all users except those with the Update capability (administrators by default). * **Disable Gutenberg Editor**: disable the block editor and restore the Classic editor as the default. * **Page Ordering**: reorder pages and custom post types that support page attributes using drag and drop. * **Hide admin toolbar for all users**: hide the admin toolbar for all logged-in users when browsing the frontend. * **Track User Last Login**: record and display the last login date for every user in the Users list. * **Track User Registration Date**: display each user’s registration date in the Users list. * **Disable new user signup notification**: suppress the default email notification sent when a new user account is created. * **Auto open Advanced panel in Gutenberg**: automatically expand the Advanced panel in the block inspector on mouse hover, saving extra clicks.
