Welcome to the future of WordPress plugins! Well, maybe not flying cars or robot assistants (yet), but definitely the one plugin you didn’t know you needed until now. Meet Small Tools, the ultimate lightweight, no-nonsense, do-it-all WordPress plugin from Smiling Syntax.
One Plugin to Rule Them All
Do you have a WordPress site cluttered with plugins that do only one thing? One for security, one for performance, one for that pesky ‘Back to Top’ button, and another that just exists because you’re afraid to delete it? Small Tools eliminates plugin overload by packing essential WordPress and WooCommerce features into a single, lightning-fast package.
What Makes Small Tools So… Small? (But Mighty!)
Unlike traditional plugins that store settings in the database and slow things down, Small Tools keeps all its settings in a file. That’s right—zero database queries on load. That means:
✅ Faster page loads
✅ Less server strain
✅ More room for cat pictures in your database
Features That Make You Go “Whoa!”
🚀 Performance Optimization
- Say goodbye to unnecessary image resizing limits! Small Tools gives you full control over WordPress image scaling.
- Removes emoji scripts because, let’s be real, nobody needs an extra script to render emojis. 😎
- Eliminates jQuery Migrate because nostalgia is great, but outdated code isn’t.
- Conditional asset loading—because why load things you don’t need?
🔝 Back to Top Button (Because Your Fingers Deserve a Break)
- Fully customizable: size, color, opacity, and even custom icons!
- Smooth scrolling—no more jerky movements.
- Mobile-friendly, because thumbs deserve love too.
🕶️ Admin Dark Mode (Because White Screens at 2 AM Are Evil)
- A complete admin panel dark theme.
- Auto-switching for that seamless experience.
- Perfect for night owls, developers, and secret agents.
🛡️ Security Features (Because Hackers Don’t Take Breaks)
- Force strong passwords (no more “password123” shenanigans).
- Disable XML-RPC (unless you actually need it, which you probably don’t).
- Hide the WordPress version (keep hackers guessing!).
- Disable right-clicking (because your content is your content).
🛒 WooCommerce Enhancements
- Custom variation thresholds, AJAX optimization, and faster loading times.
- Less waiting, more selling.
📂 Settings Management (No More “Where Did I Put That Setting?”)
- Import/export settings with JSON (because we love clean backups).
- Automatic settings file generation (no more tedious database lookups!).
- Works like magic, but better.
Zero Database Queries: The Real Game-Changer
Most plugins love chatting with your database. Small Tools? It stays quiet.
All settings are stored in a file at /uploads/small-tools/small-settings.php, meaning zero database queries. That means your site runs faster, your server breathes easier, and your visitors don’t get frustrated waiting for pages to load. It’s a win-win-win situation!
Installation? Easier Than Your Morning Coffee
- Upload the plugin files to
/wp-content/plugins/small-tools/ - Activate it via the Plugins menu
- Configure settings via the ‘Small Tools’ menu
Done! You’re officially a power user. 🎉
