Hyper Admin Speed ULTRA applies aggressive performance policies to the WordPress admin area.
Instead of adding UI features, this plugin improves perceived speed by restricting external dependencies and background processes.
It works by:
<ul>
<li>Removing externally loaded scripts and styles inside wp-admin</li>
<li>Blocking external HTTP requests from the admin environment</li>
<li>Disabling WordPress cron requests</li>
<li>Disabling the Heartbeat API</li>
<li>Applying a strict Content Security Policy header</li>
<li>Replacing Gravatar with a local avatar</li>
<li>Cleaning up default dashboard widgets</li>
</ul>
⚠️ Important
This plugin is designed for advanced users and developers only.
Because it blocks external connections and background processes, it may:
<ul>
<li>Prevent plugin and theme updates</li>
<li>Break third-party plugins relying on remote APIs</li>
<li>Disable scheduled tasks</li>
<li>Interfere with plugins that require Heartbeat API</li>
<li>Affect dashboards that depend on remote content</li>
</ul>
Do not use this plugin on production sites unless you fully understand these consequences.

<li>SVG from Adobe XD, Illustrator, Figma and Affinity Designer (Note: An additional plugin for SVG Support is required. My favorite: <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/safe-svg/" rel="ugc">Safe SVG</a>)</li>
<li><a href="https://github.com/mcguffin/the-paste#applications-tested-so-far" rel="nofollow ugc">And some more…</a></li>
</ul>
… and paste it to Classic Editor or directly to the media library.
The most recent Desktop versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari are supported.
Install <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/safe-svg/" rel="ugc">Safe SVG</a> to enable SVG support.

<h3>Known Issues</h3>
<ul>
<li>Firefox does not support pasting multiple files from the OS filesystem.</li>
<li>Safari lacks the support to convert images to the webP format.</li>
<li>Pasting in TinyMCE triggers a JavaScript error if <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/real-media-library-lite/" rel="ugc">Real Media Library</a> is active. Pasting in the media library is still working.</li>
<li>Edge is working suspiciously well, which is very unusal in the Microsoft world and must be considered a bug.</li>
</ul>

The Paste

This is a most excellent tool for giving your pasted images useful names, for your later reference and for better SEO. There's one extra step -- you don't simply paste into the editor, you have to tell it you're inserting an image and do your pasting in the media dialog.

It would be better if you could just paste in the editor and were asked for the filename automatically, but this is probably the best we can do via a plugin.

On my "essential" list

Paste files and image data from clipboard and instantly upload them to the WordPress media library.
