Admin and Site Enhancements (ASE)
A modular and lightweight WordPress plugin to easily enhance various admin workflows and site aspects that replaces multiple plugins and saves you time, effort and money.
All of the included free-tier features are useful. Regularly updated and no bloat.
@techtonedASE was my top find in 2023 to finally get my WordPress plugin chaos under control and to improve website performance.
