Adds essential functionalities to your WordPress installation.


 WordPress is a great CMS! But, in my opinion, it lacks a small number of essential functionalities. Of course, separate plugins can be found for that, but they often do much more than essentially required and, partly as a result, may adversely affect the security and speed of the website. That is why I have collected the below functionalities in one efficient and lightweight WordPress plugin.


 The following modules are available:
<ul>
<li>Security</li>
 Basic security options and brute-force protection. 
 Only administrator users can see and manage this module.
<li>Development Mode</li>
 Easy toggling WP_DEBUG or make your website accessible for logged-in users only. 
 Only administrator users can see and manage this module.
<li>Login Form</li>
 Change the WordPress logo shown above the login form to your own brand’s logo. 
 Only administrator users can see and manage this module.
<li>Google Analytics</li>
 Implement Google Analytics using gtag.js. 
 All users that can edit pages can see and manage this module.
</ul>

 After activation of the plugin, each module is available in the admin dashboard as if it had always been there out of the box. You decide which modules to enable, which gives you the freedom to disable a module if you prefer to use another plugin for it instead.
