Perfmatters WordPress Plugin Content from Tyler Jurelle

Table of Contents

Perfmatters is a lightweight WordPress optimization plugin I run on this site alongside LiteSpeed Cache. Its value is in what it removes, including bloated scripts, unnecessary features, and default WordPress behavior that quietly slows down your site without you realizing it. Used correctly with a solid caching setup, it is one of the more effective ways to tighten up your site's performance without touching code.

The posts below cover my specific Perfmatters settings and how I use it within my broader optimization stack. If you are running WordPress and serious about site speed, this is worth reading.

The limited Perfmatters settings Tyler Jurelle recommends help his website achieve near-perfect scores on Google Lighthouse PageSpeed Insights.
