The plugin is coded using high quality standards. The next version will use PSR standards. The link in the footer is there to measure the number of queries and loading time and can be disabled from the plugin’s settings. You should have asked before rating.

I hope you agree the plugin should kindly ask before promoting itself on the customer’s website who payed for the plugin. I did not know it will do that.

Now I found and deleted the code.

If you let me know where the setting is to turn off the plugin credentials, I will upgrade the rating.

I do agree, yes, and based on your feedback, I will make the option disabled starting with the next version.

Now, if you go to Theme Tweaks -> Scoring/ranking tweaks -> Display load results and plugin attribution link in the footer and uncheck the option.

I rated the plugin with 5 stars for your flexibility. Thanks. The plugin is good and site speed improved a lot.

All updates will keep your current settings. In addition, the default value will be 0 rather than 1.

Thanks for the updated review.

Hi! You don’t need to configure it. Lighthouse does other things behind the scenes. In order for the plugin to work with W3 Total Cache, you would have to turn off all 4 caching options.

Also, it would take a bit of tweaking and testing to get the best out of it.

But if I turn off the W3 Total Cache, how would caching works with Lighthouse?

Lighthouse only has basic caching. Lighthouse is a performance plugin not a caching plugin. Some of its options might help a properly configured caching plugin.

I see. But im using page, minify and browser cache on W3 Total Cache. If I dont want to turn them off can I still use Lighthouse? What will be the best setting for me in Lighthouse.

No, no, you have to turn off the caching options in Lighthouse. So, use W3 Total Cache for caching, and Lighthouse for speed/performance.

I see. I purchased it now. Going to set it up. Do you have documentation for me to read what is what?

Thank you. Unfortunately no, the options should be pretty self-explanatory. I need to right a bit of documentation, though, to explain what each option does.

I will do it for the next version, next week.

You don’t need to enter the license key anywhere, CodeCanyon knows that you purchased the plugin.

Yes, there is a helper message in footer. If you want to remove it, go to Settings -> Lighthouse -> Theme Tweaks and uncheck the “Display load results and plugin attribution link in the footer” option.

OK thx a lot!

You are welcome! Don’t forget to rate the plugin if you find it useful.

is there a german translations of the backend plugin?

No. Have you ever used POEdit? It’s a free app. I can make all the fields translatable, and you can use POEdit to translate everything in German.

ok, no it doesn’t matter

Okay.

Hi, i just activate “disable xml-rpc”, but in html-code there is still this <link rel=”pingback” href=”http://www.yourdomain.com/xmlrpc.php”/>. And when i try to open the xmlrpc.php there comes the normal request: XML-RPC server accepts POST requests only. … i just do it now in the .htaccess to get a 403-error-site… but why doesnt’t it work in your plugin?

It should work, but it’s probably your theme adding that pingback link. Do you have another plugin that might enable it?

mh, no it wasn’t displayed before (before activating lighthouse plugin)… any problems when using hidemywp at the same moment?

No issues with hidemywp. Try to uncheck the XMLRPC option and see if it’s there.

No, still there… there is a “lighthouse-cache” file in wp-content with old data 4 days left… is this relevant? or could i delete? perhaps about this? I sweep my database several times and clear cache in wp and browser

No, the cache is for something else. Let me check the plugin and I’ll update you tonight. It doesn’t happen on my dev server, so it must be something specific. What version of WordPress are you using?

OK, WordPress 4.3.4 … thx for your soon answers!

No worries. It seems a bit outdated, I’ll have to check. I’ll update you tonight.

Quick one, go to Settings -> Discussion and uncheck this: Allow link notifications from other blogs (pingbacks and trackbacks). See if it fixes it.

this is already unchecked.

I have fixed several things in the plugin and updated some options. Contact me via email so I can send you a beta version. See my profile page, lower right.

it’s difficult to find your email-adress… can you please tell me? Neither on this site nor here getbutterfly.com to find?

ok thx for your email… delete the installed plugin in wp and install the new one again?

Yes, all the settings will be preserved.

And you can find a contact form here – https://getbutterfly.com/members/support/

ok fine! now it works (but only after i cleared via sweep the database und cleared my browser-cache … is this normal?)

It’s normal to clear the cache, yes, because the new version physically removes the HTML tag. Usually HTML is aggressively cached by browsers.

Don’t forget to rate it if you’re happy!

Hi and thanks. Can I see your site? That jQuery function does not belong to Lighthouse, but it might be a conflict from removing a certain script.

Hi, I know, next version should be released today or tomorrow.

Regarding the period of data, no, I won’t add that option as it would make Sweeper bulkier with more filters and options. Also, it’s not in the plugin’s scope.

There are lots of plugins out there, doesn’t any of them do that?

No worries, thanks for the reply. Yes, there are other plugins but if Lighthouse has a ‘sweeper’ function it wouldn’t make sense to install a second plugin to clean up the database, just for the one extra option

Version 1.7.0 is now available. Would you purchase the plugin if it had that function?

Hi! I plan on buying the plugin anyway. It is best practice to always backup the database before doing anything so if I ever had to go back I would just revert to a backup.

Your webpage had a great explanation of what each setting does but I can’t find it on the new update. Is this still available somewhere? Thanks.

Hi, I will add the support section on the site today. Also, can you provide a screenshot of the “division by zero” error?

Hi, there is, most likely, a jQuery conflict. You can see what the issue is by checking Chrome’s Inspector. That is, while inside your WordPress admin, right-click, select Inspect and click on the last tab – Console. Now reload, and try to change permalinks or move metaboxes. Some errors should appear in the Console.

No, the plugin won’t fix that. Why don’t you remove that code from the source?

I see. Im not a developer and scared touching the code myself. Thank you

Have you purchased the plugin?
