Awesome! REST-API 4x speedup!
by opicron·1 year ago·2 replies

Though I’d like a revamp of the UI the result of filtering our REST-API and REST-API WC plugins makes a TON of difference.

We went from updating 3000+ products in 60mins to updating them in 15mins.

Awesome! Well worth the purchase.

fantastic!!!
by dolceremy·2 years ago

with this fantastic plugin I accelerated my site 1000% by avoiding loading all the plugins in my collection every time, but loading them only in the right place!

Works very well!

lifesaver plugin!
by crisicon·2 years ago

This is a great plugin and I see two main uses for it:
1. solve problems with some plugins that affect functionality but are needed on specific pages or in some popups
2. improve pagespeed results by only allowing badly written code only where it is needed (e.g. Stripe integrations)
Great work and brilliant idea.
Thank you!
