Delete Expired Transients
Delete old, expired transients from the WordPress options table (wp_options), to prevent them from bloating your database and even slowing down your website. Unless you are using an object cache (like memcached), WordPress stores transient records in the options table. Many transients are given an expiration time, so in theory they should disappear after some time. In practise, because old transients are only deleted when requested again after they’ve expired, many transients stay in the database. After a while, there can be thousands or even millions of expired transients needlessly taking up space in your options table, depending on what your plugins are doing. Delete Expired Transients schedules a daily task to delete any expired transients from the options table. It performs this operation with a single SQL query, and then runs a second query to find any orphaned expiration records and deletes them too. There are a few other plugins around that clean up expired transients. This one is written for fast performance, set-and-forget scheduled housekeeping, and maximum compatibility. It uses the PHP time to determine whether transients are expired, not the database time (which can be different). It does only one job, and it does it well with the minimum of resources. Now optimised for WordPress Multisite.

OMGF | GDPR/DSGVO Compliant, Faster Google Fonts. Easy.
OMGF can be downloaded for free without any paid subscription from the official WordPress repository. Trusted by 300,000+ WordPress sites. The original Google Fonts self-hosting plugin. OMGF removes the connection between your site and Google’s font servers, eliminating the DNS lookups and render-blocking requests that slow down LCP and TTFB — while making your site GDPR/DSGVO-compliant in the process. German courts have ruled that loading Google Fonts directly violates GDPR, since visitor IPs get logged by Google. OMGF closes that gap entirely: nothing leaves your server. Install it and it works immediately. No setup required, though there’s plenty to fine-tune if you want to. Detection, Out of the Box OMGF scans your site for Google Fonts, Bunny Fonts (fonts.bunny.net), and Jetpack CDN (fonts-api.wp.com) and downloads them to your own server automatically. It even automatically detects and optimizes Google Fonts loaded by Elementor. Free Features Resource hints cleanup — Strips leftover preconnect, dns-prefetch, and preload hints pointing at fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com — dead weight once your fonts are self-hosted. font-display control — Force font-display: swap (or block, fallback, optional, auto) on your Google Fonts, fixing “Ensure text remains visible during webfont load” in Lighthouse and PageSpeed Insights. Performance Checker — Keeps an eye on your setup and flags what’s costing you points: unused subsets, unused weights, missing preloads above the fold, and layout shift from fonts loading late. Google Fonts checker — Pings you when a theme or plugin update introduces new Google Fonts that haven’t been processed yet. Manual control — Globally unload font families or weights you don’t need. Preload the ones that matter above the fold. Integrates with your stack — OMGF works alongside the optimization plugins and page builders you’re already running, including Autoptimize, FlyingPress, Kinsta, LiteSpeed Cache, SiteGround Speed Optimizer, W3 Total Cache, WP Fastest Cache, WP-Optimize, WP Rocket, WP Super Cache, Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder, Bricks, Oxygen, and Visual Composer. OMGF Pro Where the free version covers the fundamentals, Pro removes the manual work entirely. Smart Optimize — Measures, on real visitor pageviews, exactly which fonts, subsets, and weights get used above the fold. Preloads what matters, strips what doesn’t. No configuration, no guessing — just measured results. Magic Fallbacks — Generates system font fallbacks mathematically tuned to match each Google Font’s real metrics (size-adjust, ascent-override), so text doesn’t jump around while fonts load. Zero CLS, calculated automatically per font. Deeper detection — Pro reaches fonts the free version and competitors don’t touch: – Inline blocks with @font-face or @import – Local and externally hosted stylesheets using @import – Web Font Loader (webfont.js) – Async, JS-injected Google Fonts loaded at runtime – WordPress’s Font Manager (or Font Library, since WP 7.0) – Variable Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com/css2) – Material Icons Global font-display — Extends font-display control to every font on your site, not just Google Fonts. Everything else: – Automatic Multisite and WPML support – Serve fonts and stylesheets from your own CDN or custom path – Replace font families with system fonts entirely – Whitelabel stylesheets — strip OMGF branding and comments for smaller file sizes – Developer Mode for safely migrating between dev, staging, and production Get OMGF Pro → | Documentation | Tested Plugins & Themes
