SpeedPilot – WordPress Speed & Performance - Rating, Reviews, Demo & Download
Plugin Description
SpeedPilot is designed around a simple product path:
Measure -> Diagnose -> Optimize -> Verify -> Monitor
This release intentionally implements the plugin foundation through Phase 10. Reporting, export, privacy, and production-hardening workflows are now live as real features instead of placeholder promises.

- Optional Google Fonts
display=swaprewriting for WordPress-enqueued Google Fonts stylesheets - Optional Google Fonts preconnect hints on safe frontend requests when the theme has not already added them

- WordPress personal-data exporter and eraser integration for administrator-linked scan, optimization, log, and background-job records
- Runtime transient cleanup during deactivation and uninstall so short-lived cache data does not linger unnecessarily
- Production Audit screen with security, compatibility, privacy, uninstall, and release-readiness checkpoints
What is not included yet:
- A built-in page cache engine or automatic CDN configuration
- Automatic local font conversion or guessed font preload injection
- Automatic scheduled database cleanup or automated rollback for destructive database cleanup actions
- Automated scheduled reporting or emailed report delivery
Privacy
This release sends URLs to Google only when an administrator explicitly runs a PageSpeed connection test or scan. A saved PageSpeed API key is stored locally for server-side use only. Local analysis, Phase 5 asset analysis, Phase 6 cache and font analysis, Phase 7 database analysis and cleanup, Phase 8 compatibility decisions, Phase 9 report generation, and Phase 10 production audits all run inside WordPress and use the local site database or loopback requests rather than a third-party API. Image optimization runs locally inside WordPress and stores backups on the same site before files are modified. SpeedPilot now also integrates with the WordPress privacy policy page and personal-data exporter and eraser tools for administrator-linked records.
