Overview

About this plugin

FBS Secure Optimize (engineered by FBS Fusion ) is a modern, lightweight performance and security suite built around 6 Independent Zero-Overhead Modules.

Most sites don’t need bloated, all-or-nothing plugins that slow down wp-admin or clash with existing caching layers. With FBS Secure Optimize, every engine has its own 1-Click Master Toggle in the Module Control Center:

  • Disabled Modules = Zero Runtime Overhead: Any module you toggle off is completely bypassed at boot—zero frontend hooks, zero database queries, and zero conflicts with WP Rocket, LiteSpeed Cache, FlyingPress, Autoptimize, Cloudflare, or WooCommerce.
  • Auto-Hide Clean Interface: Turning a module off automatically hides its configuration panels and tabs so your dashboard stays focused and clutter-free.

6 Independent Modules Included Free

1. Asset & Core Web Vitals Optimizer (with 1-Click Universal Cache Purge)

Boost Lighthouse Performance, Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS), and Total Blocking Time (TBT) without jQuery bloat or fragile script bundling:

* Zero-CLS Missing Image width & height Injection: Automatically detects local <img> tags missing explicit dimensions and injects cached width and height attributes to prevent layout shifts.

* Iframe & Video Lazy Loading: Defers embedded maps and video players until visitors scroll near them.

php polling to 60 seconds to prevent CPU spikes and 502 timeouts on shared or VPS hosting.

2. Database & Autoload Cleaner

* Toggleable X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN (clickjacking protection)

* Toggleable Referrer-Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin

* Username Enumeration Masking: Replace verbose login failure hints with generic error messages so attackers cannot harvest valid usernames.
