Blaminhor Essentials – Redirects, Broken Links, Favicon, Maintenance, Classic Editor & 21 More vs Modular DS

One plugin to replace twenty. Free forever. I was tired of my WordPress installs looking like a graveyard of single-purpose plugins — one for SEO, one for cache, one for SMTP, one for redirects, one for backups. Each one with its own dashboard, its own freemium dance. So I built Blaminhor Essentials — and I never sell your data. Why this plugin exists: Every WordPress essential under one roof. SEO, cache, SMTP, backup, cookie banner, contact forms, calendar, anti-spam, login security, downloads, redirections, broken links, duplicator, database optimizer, domain changer, fatal error recovery, favicon, HTTPS redirect, hide login, image sizes, maintenance mode, mute core emails, post types order, user role editor, classic editor, disable comments. Switch on what you use today; the rest stays out of your way until the day you need it. Your existing data comes with you. Switching does not mean starting over: built-in importers for Yoast, Rank Math, All in One SEO, WP Mail SMTP, Post SMTP, Easy WP SMTP, Redirection, Safe Redirect Manager, Custom Taxonomy Order, Favicon by RealFaviconGenerator, and the standalone User Role Editor. The dedicated plugins you’ve stacked one by one over the years, now in a single coherent toolkit. No tax for what you don’t use. Each module is independent: an inactive one loads no PHP, registers no hooks, enqueues no assets, runs no queries. You’re only paying — in memory and milliseconds — for the features you actually turned on. Rebuilt on modern PHP. Since version 2, every module has been re-engineered from the ground up to take full advantage of PHP 8 — strict types, enums and value objects — for tighter security and faster, leaner execution. Free. All features above are free. No tracking, no telemetry. Translated in 11 languages. English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil), Japanese, Russian, Turkish, Dutch, Indonesian. You can email me anytime. [email protected] Available Features — 26 modules: Performance Cache & Performance — Page cache, asset optimization and lazy load, plus a Web Vitals dashboard and an auto-pilot that benchmarks each speed option on your own pages. SEO & Links SEO/GEO — Meta titles and descriptions with SERP preview, XML sitemaps, per-type indexing control, and one-click import from Yoast, Rank Math or All in One SEO. Redirections — Simple or regex redirects (301, 302, 307, 410, 451) with hit counters, slug-change detection, and CSV / plugin import (Redirection, Safe Redirect Manager). Broken Links — Scan posts, pages and custom post types for dead internal and external links, with live results and one-click fixes. Emails SMTP Mailer — Reliable delivery through 12+ providers (Brevo, SendGrid, Mailgun, AWS SES…) with automatic relay fallback, logging, and import from WP Mail SMTP, Post SMTP or Easy WP SMTP. Mute Core Emails — Silence WordPress automatic notifications (updates, new users, password changes, comments) individually. Security & Maintenance Cookie Banner — Self-hosted consent banner that blocks tracking scripts and embeds until visitors agree, with GDPR/CCPA/LGPD presets, Consent Mode v2, and a 13-month consent log. Anti-Spam — Block spam bots on the comment, login, registration and password forms with a hidden honeypot trap, and encode the email addresses shown on your site so harvesters cannot read them — no CAPTCHA, no external service. Login Security (Beta) — Lock out brute-force attempts on every sign-in route (login form, XML-RPC, REST API, application passwords) before the password is checked, add two-factor authentication (authenticator app, security key or passkey, emailed code, single-use backup codes) with trusted browsers, alert on sign-ins from unfamiliar devices, enforce a password policy per role, and keep a journal of every attempt with addresses stored hashed. Entirely local, no external service. Hide Login Page — Replace wp-login.php with a custom URL and block bots probing the default login. HTTPS Redirect — Force HTTPS site-wide with optional mixed-content fixing and an HSTS header. Fatal Error Recovery — Recover a crashed site from a secret URL by disabling the culprit plugin, with no FTP access. Maintenance — Show a Coming Soon (200) or Maintenance (503) page, with role and IP whitelisting. User Role Editor — Create, clone and edit roles and capabilities, with per-user overrides, JSON import/export and one-click import from the standalone User Role Editor plugin. Database & Migration Backup & Restore — Scheduled backups of files and database as separate archives, with a safety backup and one-click undo before every restore. Database Optimizer — Clean revisions, transients, spam and orphaned data on a schedule, with an at-a-glance size and overhead overview. Domain Changer — Change your site domain and update every database reference, including serialized data, in one click. Content & Media Calendar (Beta) — Publish events with recurrence, venues, organizers, calendar views, iCal import and RSVP, and run a full booking system for appointments and resource rentals with reminders and Stripe payments. Forms (Beta) — Accessible drag-and-drop contact forms with entries stored in the database, no-CAPTCHA spam protection, and GDPR controls. Downloads (Beta) — Count how many times each media library file is downloaded, and how many distinct people downloaded it, without recreating your files as anything else. Make documents save instead of opening in a tab, restrict a file to signed-in visitors, chosen roles or a password, and optionally route direct file requests through the counted link so links already shared are covered too. Robots, link previews and repeat clicks are filtered out, and no visitor address is ever stored. Content Duplicator — Clone any post, page or custom post type with all fields, taxonomies and child posts; supports every major page builder. Classic Editor & Widgets — Restore the classic editor and/or the classic widgets screen, independently. Image Sizes — Disable unused thumbnail sizes, register custom ones, and regenerate existing images. Favicon Generator — Generate every favicon format (PNG, Apple Touch, Android, Windows tiles) from a single square image, or import an existing set from Favicon by RealFaviconGenerator or the WordPress Site Icon. Post Types Order — Reorder posts, pages, custom post types and taxonomies with drag and drop, and import an existing term order from Custom Taxonomy Order. Disable Comments — Remove the comment system site-wide and hide it from the admin, reversibly. WP-CLI Commands Every module is fully configurable from the command line through the wp blaminhor ... namespace — useful for scripts, CI/CD, fixtures, and AI assistants like Claude Code or Cursor. The CLI delegates to the same validation pipeline as the admin UI, so settings stay consistent.

Mutating commands require --user= for the capability check. Sensitive values (SMTP passwords, recovery keys) are never printed in cleartext. The Backup module exposes list and delete only — creating and restoring a backup remain admin-only, where the stepped AJAX flow avoids PHP timeouts and the pre-restore safety net runs.

Bulk management and updates Install, update, activate, or delete plugins, themes, and WordPress versions across multiple websites at once (or one by one). The global updater also gives you a full picture of what’s happening across your sites: detected vulnerabilities, Update Copilot risk scores, warnings for abandoned plugins, and more, all from one place. Smarter, automated updates Choose how your updates run: as quick standard updates, as safe updates with before and after screenshots and instant rollbacks, or as smart automated updates that let you define when and under what conditions they should run. Pair it with Update Copilot, our AI-powered scoring system, to understand how risky a plugin update might be before applying it and make more informed decisions.

Whatever approach you prefer, Modular DS gives you more control and flexibility to safely keep your sites up to date.

Choose between full or incremental backups and easily restore entire sites, files, or databases from Modular DS. Uptime monitoring Never get caught off guard by downtime. Get notified by email, WhatsApp, Slack, or Discord when any of your websites go down, before your clients even notice. Customize check frequency, response time, keyword detection, and alert settings to fit your workflow. Modular DS includes one of the most complete uptime monitor tools for WordPress. Security monitoring and management Modular DS includes vulnerability scans for plugins, themes, and WordPress core, with alerts up to 48 hours before issues are publicly disclosed. You also have malware scanning to check your sites’ files and database for malicious content, and admin user alerts to know whenever someone is added or removed as an administrator on any of your connected sites. On top of that, you get notified whenever something else requires your attention, from outdated PHP to expired SSL certificates. For teams that need more, our add-ons extend these capabilities. See the integrations section below for details. Broken link checker Run scheduled or on-demand scans to detect broken links and images across your sites. When broken internal links are found, create redirects to fix them without leaving Modular DS. Site migration, cloning, and staging Modular DS lets you migrate or clone any connected site in three ways: move it to another existing site in the platform, migrate it to a different server while keeping the same domain, or clone it to a new domain. You can also create staging environments on your own server to test changes before going live. Database optimization Clean up post revisions, spam comments, transients, orphaned tables, and more directly from Modular DS. No need for extra plugins. Keep your websites running smoothly while saving time and having a clear record of every optimization made. Client reports From winning new clients to keeping existing ones, Modular DS covers both ends of the reporting workflow. Before a client signs up, you can generate a pre-maintenance report to show everything their site needs: pending updates, detected vulnerabilities, site health issues, database optimizations, etc. Once they are on board, automatically generate and send regular maintenance reports that highlight the work you do behind each site. Add time logs, dates, and screenshots to showcase the full scope of your efforts, so clients understand the value of your service and keep paying for it. Both report types help you build trust, improve client retention, and turn your WordPress maintenance offering into recurring revenue. Integrations Modular DS integrates with Google Analytics, Search Console, WooCommerce, and PageSpeed, giving you an overview of your websites in one place and allowing you to include the data your clients care most about in your reports. To further strengthen your sites’ security, two add-ons extend what is included in every plan. Patch & Protect, powered by Patchstack, applies virtual patches and hardening rules to block known vulnerabilities and common attack methods as soon as they are detected, even before an official fix is available. And a malware add-on powered by Imunify Connect, which lets you run weekly and on-demand scans across your sites. Support that understands you Modular DS is the first site management platform with support in both English and Spanish. Whether you have a question or run into an issue, our team has over 10 years of WordPress experience and is here to help you.
