ZenPress disables unused WordPress and WooCommerce features, blocks security vulnerabilities, and configures cache plugins from a single settings page.
Combined with Cache Enabler, Autoptimize and SQLite Object Cache, ZenPress replaces the need for premium performance plugins.
Settings integrate directly into the WordPress core interface, without requiring a custom dashboard.

Why choose ZenPress?

  • Use curated settings presets to configure your site quickly.
  • Integrates with the WordPress core interface for a familiar experience.
  • A free alternative to premium performance plugins.
  • Disable unused features to reduce page load and remove unnecessary code.
  • Block security vulnerabilities by disabling unused features.
  • Remove unnecessary third-party plugin code.
  • Lightweight codebase with no external dependencies.

Features

ZenPress includes the following features:

Dashboard Settings

  • Navigate between categories using a tabbed interface.
  • Features are grouped by Performance, Security, and User Interface.
  • Select from three presets: Corporate, Blog, or E-commerce.

Integrations

  • Admin bar: Adds a ZenPress menu to the admin bar with “Clear all caches” and options for each active cache (page, static files, object cache). Only appears when Cache Enabler, Autoptimize, or SQLite Object Cache is active. Hides those plugins’ own admin bar buttons.
  • Autoptimize: Minify JS and CSS, combine CSS, static file caching, 404 fallbacks.
  • Cache Enabler: Clear cache on content changes, WebP, compression, minify HTML.
  • SQLite Object Cache: Enable “Use APCu” in the plugin if available.

Presets

  • Corporate website: For business sites and portfolios. Disables RSS, author archives, and other features typically unused on company sites.
  • Blog: For content-focused sites. Keeps RSS and other blog-related features while disabling unnecessary assets.
  • E-commerce: For WooCommerce stores. Disables non-essential WooCommerce features and removes unused WordPress functionality.

Accessibility

  • Navigate the dashboard using a keyboard: Tab, Arrow keys, Home, End, and Enter for all interactions.
  • Tab panels activate immediately when focus moves between sections.
  • Visible focus indicators on every interactive element.
  • ARIA labels provide context for screen readers and assistive technologies.

Privacy Statement

ZenPress does not store, collect, or transmit any data. It does not send data to any third party and does not include third-party resources.

Accessibility Statement

ZenPress aims to be accessible to all users.

No pro version? Really?

Yes, there is no pro version and there never will be.

Sponsorships are accepted via the GitHub Sponsors program. If you work at an agency that develops with WordPress, ask your company to sponsor the project.

If you like the plugin, leave a review.

Does ZenPress work with my existing caching or optimization plugins?

Yes. ZenPress disables unused WordPress core features and does not interfere with page caching or image optimization. If you notice overlapping features, toggle them off in either tool.

How do I know which snippets are safe to enable?

If you are new to these settings, start with a preset (Corporate, Blog, or E-commerce). For manual changes, begin with User Interface and performance settings, such as cleaning up the Admin Bar, before moving to more advanced core settings.

What happens if I disable the REST API?

The REST API allows external applications to communicate with your site. ZenPress blocks unauthenticated requests while keeping the API accessible to logged-in users. Some blocks or third-party integrations may require the REST API to be publicly accessible. If a feature stops working, use the zenpress_disable_wp_rest_api_post_var or zenpress_disable_wp_rest_api_server_var filters to allow specific requests.

Does ZenPress store any personal data?

No. ZenPress does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. All settings are stored in standard WordPress options on your site.

Is ZenPress multisite compatible?

ZenPress is compatible with multisite networks. You can activate it across the entire network or on individual sites. Only Network Administrators can manage these settings across the network.
