Optimize CSS and JS files

If this option is activated, Hide My WP Ghost will activate the caching process for the website static files like CSS, JS, and Images.

The optimization process will add in the config file optimizations like:

Header append Vary: Accept-Encoding
SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/css
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/javascript
ExpiresDefault "access plus 1 month"

and many more. This will definitely help the website’s loading speed for all the static files like CSS, JS and images.

You can test the website speed using:

To activate this feature, switch on Hide My WP > Advanced > Optimize CSS and JS files

To activate this option, switch on Hide My WP > Advanced > Load As Must Use Plugin

Late Loading

This option will force Hide My WP Ghost to load only after all plugins and theme are loaded.

Some cache plugins need this option to be activated if the paths are not changed in frontend, just activate this option and check again.

Compatibility with cache plugins: WP-Rocket , Autoptimize, CDN Enabler, and more.

To activate this feature, switch on Hide My WP > Advanced > Late Loading

Clean Login Page

Some themes ad hooks in the login page and redirect users to wp-admin on login.
If you change the wp-admin path to a custom path in Hide My WP Ghost, then the wp-admin will be protected and the theme may redirect users to home page instead of the new admin path.

Note! To customize the login redirects for each user role, check the Redirect On Login option.

To make sure the user is redirected to the new wp-admin path on login, activate this option from Hide My WP > Advanced > Clean Login Page.

Redirect Hidden Paths

This option is moved to Tweats > Redirects since Hide My WP Ghost version 5.0.13.

PHP mail support

The email notification doesn’t work for localhost websites or if the server oesn’t have PHP mail support.
