Whippet helps you make WordPress faster with a guided setup, safe presets, and deep asset control.

Core features

  • Dashboard toggles to disable unused WordPress features (emojis, embeds, XML-RPC, feeds, and more)
  • File-based page cache with optional Gzip/Brotli variants and exclusions
  • Browser cache headers and local WebP conversion
  • Script Manager with per-URL / per-post-type rules and optional MU-plugin mode
  • Lazy load, font optimisation, and link preload
  • Local analytics hosting helpers for Google Analytics
  • Code snippets (PHP snippets off by default)
  • Database cleanup, import/export, recovery mode, and settings snapshots
  • Tools diagnostics, activity log, conflict detection, and impact metrics
  • WooCommerce-aware cache exclusions and utilities

Premium / Cloud

Optional Image Engine and Critical CSS services can be connected from the Premium tab when you have an API key for Whippet Cloud.

Safe by design

  • First-run setup wizard with a conservative Safe preset
  • Recovery mode to bypass front-end optimisations if something breaks
  • Settings snapshots for rollback
  • Hardened import allowlists and audit logging
