Most features actively improve performance. ### Is it safe to disable jQuery Migrate? Only if you’re sure your theme and plugins work with the latest jQuery. When in doubt, leave it off and test first. ### What happens if I disable XML-RPC? Mobile apps and some plugins (like older Jetpack features) might stop working. If you’re using the WordPress mobile app or remote publishing tools, keep XML-RPC enabled. ### Does the Login Limit work with email addresses? Yep! WordPress lets you log in with either username or email, and our login limiter tracks both. ### Can I hide wp-admin from certain user roles? Absolutely. Use “Admin Access Restrictions” to choose which roles can access wp- admin. Administrators always have access (you can’t lock yourself out). ### What’s Maintenance Mode good for? Perfect for when you’re making updates and don’t want visitors seeing broken pages. You choose which roles can still access the site while everyone else sees a clean maintenance message. SEO-friendly too (returns 503 status). ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “RefiTune – Site refiner toolkit” is open source software.
