Overview

One of WordPress’ biggest bottlenecks is that it loads every single plugin that
is active on your WordPress installation on every single post/page no matter
whether they are needed for that post/page or not. This plugin will allow you
to create simple rewrite rules to exclude a plugin or plugins from any URI
pattern match. This is a great way to reduce the memory footprint, SQL queries
run at page load, load times, and improve site response speed.

This is NOT a normal WordPress plugin, but an mu (must use) plugin and requires
special installation instructions. Please see the installation section for more
information.

Requirements: PHP5+, WordPress 2.9.x+
