Lightweight and useful
I use Machete mainly to clean up the <head> and remove unnecessary scripts. It does exactly what it promises: improves performance and reduces exposure to automated attacks, all from a simple, easy-to-use interface. Recommended if you know what you're doing and use a classic theme or a builder like Elementor.

Simplemente genial y gratis. Lo instalaré en todos mis sitios. Muchas gracias Nilo. Solo faltaría que actualices el video explicativo, para los que entendemos poco.

So easy, so efficient
Gives the tools a wordpress site needs to improve its performance and works well with caching plugins. Loved the lite solutions for cookies and social media sharing. Very easy to configure.
