ShadowKrypt

Yes. ShadowKrypt only changes dashboard visibility. Hidden plugins and themes remain installed, active, and fully functional.

Yes. Enable self-hiding in Hide Manager > Settings. You can still open ShadowKrypt from its direct admin menu URL.

No on most screens. Hide Manager, Security, Update Manager, and Speed Optimisation use auto-save when you change a toggle or relevant input.

No. ShadowKrypt does not add its own plugin update server. Update Manager only controls update notices and upgrades for other installed plugins and themes.

No. When a plugin or theme is blocked (or Block All is enabled), its update notice is removed from the Plugins/Themes screens and manual upgrades are blocked.

All plugin or theme toggles in that tab switch to blocked, and every matching update is hidden and prevented until you change the setting.

It includes page cache, minification, and many frontend tweaks, but results depend on your host, theme, and plugins. Use it as a built-in optimisation layer and test on staging first.

Google PageSpeed Insights needs a publicly reachable site URL. Localhost and private URLs cannot return live PSI scores.

Speed Optimisation uses its own fixed dark futuristic UI. Dark mode toggle applies to other ShadowKrypt admin screens.

Speed Optimisation only applies enabled tweaks on the frontend. Disabled options do not run. Hide Manager, Security, SMTP, Performance, and Update Manager are admin-only.

Core features are designed for standard single-site admin use. Test on your network before relying on it in multisite production.

PHP 7.4 or newer. The Zip extension is required for plugin and theme download buttons.
