Extra Options is a collection of WordPress tweaks to improve your publishing experience and your site’s performance.
It strives to be simple and discreet; 
everything in it is optional, it does nothing by default, does not touch your content, and uninstalls cleanly.
Extra Options offers options for the following:
<ul>
<li>Writing</li>
<li>Administration</li>
<li>Content filters control</li>
<li>Document HEAD control</li>
<li>Search Engine Optimization (all you need and nothing you don’t)</li>
<li>Loading AJAX libraries from the Google CDN</li>
<li>Plus a couple of miscellaneous tweaks</li>
</ul>
See homepage for a detailed presentation:

Please note that Extra Options is still very young and not considered stable. Your feedback is appreciated:
