Webcraftic Clearfy Business - Wordpress Optimization Plugin 2.1.6

**Webcraftic Clearfy Business** (also widely known as **Clearfy Pro**) is a comprehensive WordPress "Swiss Army Knife" for performance, SEO, and security optimization. Rather than adding new features, it focuses on **disabling the bloat** and "cleaning" the WordPress core to make the site faster and more secure. 

The **Business** (Pro) version unlocks a suite of premium components that give you deeper control over how your site loads assets and handles server requests.

### 🚀 Key Performance Features 

The primary goal of Clearfy is to reduce the number of HTTP requests and the overall weight of your pages: 

* **Asset Manager (Gonzales):** This is the crown jewel of the Pro version. It allows you to selectively disable CSS and JavaScript files on specific pages. (e.g., Disabling your "Contact Form 7" scripts on your blog posts where no form exists). 
* **Google Services Optimization:** You can host Google Fonts and Google Analytics locally to eliminate external DNS lookups and solve the "leverage browser caching" warning in PageSpeed Insights. 
* **Heartbeat Control:** Limits the frequency of the WordPress Heartbeat API, which can significantly reduce high CPU usage on your server. 
* **Minification & Combination:** Advanced modules to minify HTML, CSS, and JS, and combine them into fewer files to speed up rendering.

### 🔍 SEO & Code Cleanup 

Clearfy handles many of the small technical SEO tasks that are often overlooked: 

* **Image Alt Attributes:** Automatically inserts the "alt" attribute for images that are missing them, using the post title. 
* **Last Modified Headers:** Sends an `If-Modified-Since` response to search engines, helping them crawl only the content that has changed since their last visit. 
* **Remove Duplicate Pages:** Automatically redirects attachment pages, author archives (for single-author sites), and date archives to the homepage to prevent "thin content" penalties. 
* **Transliteration:** Automatically converts Cyrillic or special characters in URLs into clean, SEO-friendly Latin characters.

### 🛡️ Security Hardening 

While not a full firewall, it "hardens" WordPress by hiding common entry points: 

* **Hide Author Login:** Prevents hackers from finding your admin username via `?author=1` scans. 
* **Remove Version Strings:** Strips the WordPress version number from your source code and scripts so attackers don't know which vulnerabilities to target. 
* **Disable XML-RPC:** Shuts down the XML-RPC protocol, which is a common target for Brute Force and DDoS attacks. 
* **Login Error Masking:** Changes generic error messages (e.g., "Invalid Password") to something vague so hackers don't know if the username they guessed was correct.

### 🛠 How to Use It Safely 

Because Clearfy can disable core functions, it is recommended to use the **"Quick Start"** tab first. This activates the "safe" settings that are highly unlikely to break your site. If you use the **Asset Manager**, always test your site in an Incognito/Private window to ensure you haven't accidentally disabled a script required for your layout.
