Spectacular and versatile tool to optimize the management of your WordPress site.

I have it on every install

Yep, one of those plugins I have on every single wordpress site for myself and my clients. I love that it’s free, and the premium version seems very comprehensive, although I haven’t used it.

I love this plugin

I was getting tons of errors in my database and being able to easily look at the debug logs and turn debugging on and off from the admin panel is so much faster than messing with my file manager. Than
