Safe WordPress speed improvements for beginners without risky settings that break layouts.

== Description ==

DirtyTackle Performance Cleanup is built for WordPress users who want simple performance improvements without technical confusion.

Many speed plugins overwhelm beginners with advanced settings that can easily break layouts, scripts, or plugin behaviour.

DirtyTackle Performance Cleanup focuses on safe improvements that remove unnecessary WordPress overhead while keeping sites stable.

Included in version 1.0.4:

* Stop WordPress loading emoji code
* Turn off WordPress embed code
* Remove Dashicons for logged out visitors
* Disable older remote publishing access
* Reduce background Heartbeat activity
* Limit saved post revisions
* Apply Recommended Settings button
* Live system status counters
* Cleanup tools for revisions, spam comments, and transients
* Cleanup confirmation prompts
* Success notices after actions

DirtyTackle Performance Cleanup avoids risky asset optimisation settings such as CSS merging, JavaScript delays, and script combining.

This makes it ideal for normal WordPress users who want cleaner performance without technical guesswork.

== Installation ==

1. Upload the plugin folder to /wp-content/plugins/
2. Activate DirtyTackle Performance Cleanup through the Plugins screen in WordPress
3. Go to Settings > DirtyTackle Performance Cleanup
4. Apply recommended settings or choose your own

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Does this plugin cache my site? =

No. DirtyTackle Performance Cleanup focuses on safe WordPress cleanup and background optimisation.

= Can this break my site? =

The included settings are chosen because they are lower risk than aggressive optimisation plugins, but always test changes after enabling them.
