I recorded this video to review Admin and Site Enhancements (ASE) — a powerful WordPress plugin that can help you clean up and optimize your site with fewer tools.

Instead of installing a bunch of small plugins for minor tasks, ASE combines dozens of tweaks into one clean, lightweight package.

In the video, I cover:

  • How ASE lets you disable or remove unused features (emoji script, dashicons, etc.)
  • Clean up the admin area and login screen
  • Add frontend tweaks like sticky headers or scroll-to-top buttons
  • Boost performance by removing bloat from core and themes
  • Save presets for multiple client sites

This is now a standard plugin in my WordPress stack — especially when building lean, SEO-optimized sites.

Have you tried consolidating your plugins recently to speed up your site?
