Code-snippets, Tools, Free Plugins to Save$ Up Performance Zoom Mon 8Sep 7pm UK

Dear All,
This month, by popular demand, let’s discuss and share our favourite code snippets, tools, short cuts, and free plugins, that save money, bloat, or improve performance. Do sign up here:

Chris and I will kick things off with a couple of ideas, more to inspire everyone else to share their personal favourite tricks and tips. We don't know what will come out of the session but perhaps some of these issues may emerge during the discussion:

• Handling backups at the OS level or via your hosting provider instead of a plugin
• Using cron jobs or GitHub Actions instead of scheduling plugins
• Replacing SEO plugins with simple static metadata where appropriate
• Moving from visual builders to lean, reusable block patterns or custom themes
• Removing security plugins in favour of proper server configuration and firewalls
• Using external analytics (like Plausible or server logs) over JS-heavy analytics plugins
• Bloat free versions of bloated plugins.

Beginner or advanced, we’re here to learn from one another. As always, our friendly regulars from the UK, Europe, and the USA will be joining in.
