Machete

Machete is a simple suite of tools that solves common WordPress annoyances using as few resources as possible. Machete doesn’t cover every single use case, but there is a huge amount of sites that would require less plugins if they used Machete. All Machete tools have two things in common: they solve problems faced by many web developers and they do it using as few server resources as possible. So far, Machete includes the following tools: WordPress Optimization WordPress places a lot of code inside the tag just to keep backward compatibility or to enable optional features. You can disable most of it and save some time from each page request while making your installation safer. Cookies & GDPR Warning We know you hate cookie warning bars. Well, this is the least hateable cookie bar you’ll find. It is really light, doesn’t affect your PageSpeed score and plays well with static cache plugins. Analytics and custom code You don’t need a zillion plugins to perform easy tasks like inserting a verification meta tag (Google Search Console, Bing, Pinterest), a json-ld snippet or a custom stylesheet (Google Fonts, Print Styles, accessibility tweaks…). The Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager tracking codes are PageSpeed optimized, GPDR friendly. Maintenance mode The maintenance mode that ships with WordPress is just a basic lock-down that is activated whenever you do a major update. With machete Maintenance Mode you can hide your unfinished page from visitors and search engines, give your clients a secure temporary access and lock your site without affecting your SEO. Post & Page cloner Adds a “duplicate” link to post, page and most post types lists. Also adds “copy to new draft” function to the post editor. Social Sharing Buttons Social sharing done the Machete way. The icons are made as a custom webfont embedded in a minified CSS file that only weighs 5.8KB. The sharing actions use each platform’s native share URL. WooCommerce Utils WooCommerce was designed to work for every possible use case, but that often leads to unexpected behavior. These simple fixes can improve the WooCommerce user experience by making it behave as clients expect.

WP Scroll Depth

WP Scroll Depth is a simple WordPress plugin that loads and calls the Scroll Depth jQuery script. Google Analytics doesn’t capture user scrolling information by default. This could be very important information if you have tall, scrolling, pages. Scroll Depth sends this information as Google Analytics events. Update: Google Tag Manager now includes Scroll Depth and Element Visibility triggers. If you are running GTM, you don’t really need this plugin. From the Scroll Depth website: Scroll Depth is a small Google Analytics plugin that allows you to measure how far down the page your users are scrolling. It monitors the 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% scroll points, sending a Google Analytics Event at each one. You can also track when specific elements on the page are scrolled into view. On a blog, for example, you could send a Scroll Depth event whenever the user reaches the end of a post. The plugin supports Universal Analytics, Classic Google Analytics, and Google Tag Manager. More information about Scroll Depth can be found in the Scroll Depth documentation. This version incorporates support for the new (Feb 2018) “gtag” Google Analytics snippet courtesy of Jalil Wahdatehagh. This code has been modified to more closely match the event structure used by the other GA implementations. Features: Simple plugin – you don’t need to modify your theme to load the JavaScript Implements basic scrolling events (25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) with no additional configuration Admin Panel to configure all available options Requirements: Google Analytics jQuery 1.7 or higher Since this plugin sends Google Analytics Events, you must be running Google Analytics to see any results. While jQuery is probably already available in your theme, in the unlikely event that it isn’t, you can use a plugin like WP jQuery Plus to add it to your site.
