SWIS is an exercise in “Plugin Consolidation.” In a typical WordPress install, you might have five different plugins for caching, image optimisation, security headers, and database cleaning. SWIS architecturally combines these into a single, lightweight codebase.
I deploy it to reduce the “Plugin Surface Area.” By having one tool handle page caching and security rules, I reduce the risk of plugin conflicts. It is aggressive on unnecessary bloat, automatically disabling unused widgets and heartbeat APIs that strain the CPU. It is the “Swiss Army Knife” approach to hygiene, ensuring the site remains lean without the overhead of maintaining a complex plugin stack.
