A great all-in-one that eliminates needing many other plugins

Thanks for this plugin. I love:

1. The ability to stop notifications from plugins on a per-notification basis and being able to manage and view these if want to.

2. Host Google Analytics Local – has all features CAOS does [apart for EU if you need the extra cookie /privacy control CAOS offers] so saves me the extra plugin.

3. CMS, Plugin and Theme update management with a plugin level management. Ex, last year and before it Yoast SEO upgrades sometimes broke my sites, it being full of bugs. I now use mostly SEO Framework but for sites that still have the Yoast, I like to manually update it, while checking site is not turning into milk death pages. So it’s useful controlling which plugin to manually or auto-update. Saves me needing a separate plugin for updates control.

4. Has many security hardening options. I use the login page hiding, and all other features, alongside the lightweight and well coded BBQ Firewall and Blackhole for Bad Bots, 404 Solution (redirects and gives amazing insight on what hackers try doing. So never leave backups in root or any plugin files they can access!),
Limit Login Attempts Reloaded and Security Headers – these plugins and WP-SpamShield (for perfect no-spam on any of my many sites and without annoying any visitor with all those terrible re-captchas/captchas. For all logins, form submits and comments. I get rid of Akismet and this plugin makes all so much better and faster. You’ll find it in CodeCanyon. It also adds a link by every plugin to check if it has security issues. And will tell you if your site has a dangerous plugin with a hack-vulnerability you’d wanna get rid of… I once got my entire server hacked from one site that had a google map plugin with an untreated vulnerability.).

For good solid security of your website, it’s esp great when this plugin is used alongside a free CloudFlare (CF) account where you can get a free SSL cert and do caching, minifying and for the reverse proxy and extra security!

5. I pay to use WP Rocket for best ever caching which also connects with my CF or other CDN (tried many free and other paid caching solutions but this is a fab one and fastest). Without a caching plugin, then this plugin has the ability to disable emojis and WP embeds as well as many other bloats in code and some speed optimization options like Minifying HTML etc.

6. Ability to remove clutter from widgets page manager. Often never use many widgets and this cleans it up, making it easier to find faster what I do use and need.

7. Cool comment control tools.

And most important, Alex is a great guy, always working hard to rapidly fix issues and conflicts. Thank you, Alex!
