Make your WordPress take off.

Plugins duct-taped rock-solid, open-source, ready for launch.

I'm Patrick, a.k.a. xyo: 20 years of PHP and WordPress, and two free plugins (GPLv2 or later) proven on my own sites.

The plugins

Used in production on several sites before being offered to the public. Coming soon on wordpress.org.

Popular Posts by Xyo

v2.0.0

Ranking of your most-read posts built from daily aggregated counters: fast queries and a table that doesn't grow forever.

  • Daily aggregated counters, bounded retention
  • Lightweight counting beacon (sendBeacon), no jQuery, page-cache friendly
  • Raw data purged automatically within days
  • Widget and read-only REST API

Security by Xyo

v3.0.0

A hardening plugin for WordPress, built and proven on real sites. Each protection can be switched on or off in the settings.

  • <head> cleanup, XML-RPC disabled, hardened HTTP headers
  • Generic login error messages
  • REST API restrictable to logged-in users
  • File integrity monitoring (SHA-256) with e-mail alerts

What I commit to

Lightweight

No needless library, no superfluous query. A plugin should be forgettable.

Frugal with data

The less you collect, the less you have to protect. Every piece of data kept has a purpose and a retention period stated on the plugin page.

Free

Code under GPLv2 or later, like WordPress. You can study, modify and redistribute it.

For custom development, fractional CTO work or larger Symfony/WordPress projects, I work under the Maystrio name.
