90 releases without an exact date are not listed here; each plugin’s own changelog still has them.

Super Speedy Performance Analysis 0.9.10 4 August 2026

NEW render breakdown. The "Template render + output" phase is no longer a single number: every wp_head/wp_footer/content-filter callback, every shortcode and every widget is individually timed and attributed to its plugin, with the remainder honestly labelled as the theme's own template code. Widgets are attributed to the plugin that provides them, not to WordPress core.
The "Analyse this page" popover is now a two-column layout – roughly double the width, phases and stats on the left, per-plugin costs and the render breakdown on the right, slowest queries across the bottom – so results fit without scrolling.
The same render breakdown appears in the Pages tab drill-down.

Super Speedy Performance Analysis 0.9.10 in its changelog

Super Speedy Performance Analysis 0.9.9 4 August 2026

FIXED the "Where the PHP time went" phase table stopped at routing, so on a real page its rows summed to well under the generation time and the difference looked unmeasurable – when it was simply the template render. The table now accounts for the whole request: new "Post-init boot" and "Template render + output" rows close the gap, and the phases sum to the page's generation time.

Super Speedy Performance Analysis 0.9.9 in its changelog

Super Speedy Performance Analysis 0.9.8 4 August 2026

NEW "Analyse this page" in the admin toolbar. On any page of your site – front end or wp-admin – click the button and the plugin profiles the exact URL you are looking at while you watch, then shows the results in a popover: generation time, SQL, HTTP and RAM, where the PHP time went (per plugin), and the slowest queries. Click it again later on the same page and the stored result reopens instantly, with a Re-run button.
These one-page checks are stored separately from full analyses, so they never replace your site-wide results on the Overview and Pages tabs.
Admins only, same-site URLs only, and the profiling requests are the same signed, cache-busted, never-cached requests the full analysis uses.

Super Speedy Performance Analysis 0.9.8 in its changelog

Country Based Prices 1.11.1 3 August 2026

Updated the shared Super Speedy settings module: the Super Speedy MCP tools now also appear on AI Engine's MCP endpoint when AI Engine is active
New Check frequency setting – cap licence, update and changelog checks to once a day or once a week, and see when the licence was last checked
Licence and changelog checks fail fast when superspeedyplugins.com cannot be reached, instead of hanging the settings page
The newest installed copy of the shared Super Speedy settings code now runs site-wide, whichever plugin loads first – previously the alphabetically-first plugin's often-older copy won

Country Based Prices 1.11.1 in its changelog

Delayed Image Import 2.28.3 3 August 2026

Updated the shared Super Speedy settings module: AI agents can check your licence and install other Super Speedy plugins over MCP, now also exposed on AI Engine's MCP endpoint when AI Engine is active
New Check frequency setting – cap licence, update and changelog checks to once a day or once a week, and see when the licence was last checked
Licence and changelog checks fail fast when superspeedyplugins.com cannot be reached, instead of hanging the settings page
The newest installed copy of the shared Super Speedy settings code now runs site-wide, whichever plugin loads first – previously the alphabetically-first plugin's often-older copy won
AI agents can read and change every Delayed Image Import setting over MCP and check the hydration backlog (pending, failed, throughput, ETA) – also exposed on AI Engine's MCP endpoint

Delayed Image Import 2.28.3 in its changelog

External Images 3.43 3 August 2026

Updated the shared Super Speedy settings module: AI agents can check your licence and install other Super Speedy plugins over MCP, now also exposed on AI Engine's MCP endpoint when AI Engine is active
New Check frequency setting – cap licence, update and changelog checks to once a day or once a week, and see when the licence was last checked
Licence and changelog checks fail fast when superspeedyplugins.com cannot be reached, instead of hanging the settings page
The newest installed copy of the shared Super Speedy settings code now runs site-wide, whichever plugin loads first – previously the alphabetically-first plugin's often-older copy won
AI agents can read and change External Images settings over MCP, count how products are imaged, and verify a sample of external image URLs – also exposed on AI Engine's MCP endpoint
Fixed a fatal `array_key_exists() Argument #2 ($array) must be of type array, false given on PHP 8, hit on an HTTPS site when a product carried a malformed http:// image URL such as http:///photo.jpg` or one with a non-numeric port
Malformed image URLs no longer raise PHP 8.1 deprecation notices when the proxy filename or the image host is read from them
Security the Per Website tab's HTTPS checkbox now requires a nonce and the manage_options capability, and only ever writes its own eissl- options
Removed ssl-proxy.php, an unused legacy file that was still reachable over the web
New Proxy HTTP Images setting, off by default. On an HTTPS site, an image whose host offers no HTTPS at all is blocked by browsers as mixed content. Switch this on to serve those images from your own server instead, at the cost of storing each one in uploads/external-images/
Removed the "External Images DB update required" notice and its Run DB Update now button. The one statement behind it now runs by itself, once, with nothing to click
Security the variation gallery endpoint now checks that the id it is given is a published variation, instead of acting on any post id
Removed the EI_BETA constant. It was defined but never read, so setting it did not opt a site into beta releases
Tested up to WordPress 7.0
Removed leftover debug logging. The plugin no longer writes to the browser console, including once per row per second on the WP All Import review screen
The HTTPS support probe now times out after 3 seconds instead of stalling the page when a supplier host is unresponsive
A supplier recorded as having no HTTPS is re-checked monthly, so a host that was briefly down is not proxied forever. Untick it on the Per Website tab to pin the choice and stop the re-check
Pick largest now ignores an image whose size could not be read, rather than letting the failure decide which image wins
Fixed a notice "Translation loading for the external-images domain was triggered too early" on WordPress 6.7 or later when the site language is not English, and the "Cannot modify header information – headers already sent" warnings it caused when activating the plugin
Licence declarations in the plugin header and readme corrected to GPLv3

External Images 3.43 in its changelog

Scalability Pro 6.27.1 3 August 2026

The wpi_postmeta_boost index now covers the whole of meta_key rather than its first 50 characters, so SELECT DISTINCT meta_key lookups use the index instead of scanning wp_postmeta; existing installations have the index rebuilt automatically
Updated the shared Super Speedy settings module: AI agents can check your licence and install other Super Speedy plugins over MCP, now also exposed on AI Engine's MCP endpoint when AI Engine is active
New Check frequency setting – cap licence, update and changelog checks to once a day or once a week, and see when the licence was last checked
Licence and changelog checks fail fast when superspeedyplugins.com cannot be reached, instead of hanging the settings page
The newest installed copy of the shared Super Speedy settings code now runs site-wide, whichever plugin loads first – previously the alphabetically-first plugin's often-older copy won
The plugin's MCP abilities also appear on AI Engine's MCP endpoint as spro_ tools when AI Engine is active, so one AI connector reaches them

Scalability Pro 6.27.1 in its changelog

Super Speedy Ajax Prices 1.11.0 3 August 2026

The ajax cart now fills in on pages with no products on them – blog posts, docs, static pages – where a header cart badge previously stayed empty because no price request ever fired
An empty cart and an unchanged cart are answered from the browser with no extra request, so the cart-only fill costs nothing on most page views
The cart count now also sets a data-ssap-cart-count attribute on badge elements, so a theme can hide its badge at zero with plain CSS
Ultra Ajax responses now include the cart like the other transports – on ultra stores, cart placeholders previously never filled in
Fixed saving the settings no longer throws you back to the first tab. If you were editing Country Prices, that is where you come back to
Changed when the benchmark finds Fast or Ultra Ajax returning different prices from a full page load, it no longer tells you to use Normal Ajax. That difference means a price-affecting plugin is missing from the Fast Ajax list, so it now says so, and tells you what fixing it is worth in milliseconds – on one real store that was 300ms against 750ms, lost to two unticked boxes
New Live test mode. Try all of this on your real shop before anyone else sees it – with it on, ajax prices, the ajax cart and Country Based Prices do nothing for your visitors, and only a browser opening your secret link gets the new behaviour. The link keeps working as you click around, and a warning sits in your admin the whole time so you cannot forget it is on
Fixed a logged-in customer who added something to their basket on another device saw an empty basket on a cached page. Their basket is stored against their account rather than in a cookie, and the cart display was reading the cookie alone

Super Speedy Ajax Prices 1.11.0 in its changelog

Super Speedy Ajax Prices 1.10.1 3 August 2026

Updated the shared Super Speedy settings module: AI agents can check your licence and install other Super Speedy plugins over MCP, now also exposed on AI Engine's MCP endpoint when AI Engine is active
New Check frequency setting – cap licence, update and changelog checks to once a day or once a week, and see when the licence was last checked
Licence and changelog checks fail fast when superspeedyplugins.com cannot be reached, instead of hanging the settings page
The newest installed copy of the shared Super Speedy settings code now runs site-wide, whichever plugin loads first – previously the alphabetically-first plugin's often-older copy won
AI agents can read and change every Ajax Prices setting over MCP and check the Fast Ajax mu-plugin status – transport and plugin-list changes need explicit confirmation because wrong values mean wrong prices – also exposed on AI Engine's MCP endpoint

Super Speedy Ajax Prices 1.10.1 in its changelog

Super Speedy Chat 1.13.6 3 August 2026

Updated the shared Super Speedy settings module: AI agents can check your licence and install other Super Speedy plugins over MCP, now also exposed on AI Engine's MCP endpoint when AI Engine is active
New Check frequency setting – cap licence, update and changelog checks to once a day or once a week, and see when the licence was last checked
Licence and changelog checks fail fast when superspeedyplugins.com cannot be reached, instead of hanging the settings page
The newest installed copy of the shared Super Speedy settings code now runs site-wide, whichever plugin loads first – previously the alphabetically-first plugin's often-older copy won
AI agents can read and change the chat settings over MCP (API tokens never echoed back) and check chat health – availability, waiting conversations, relay status – also exposed on AI Engine's MCP endpoint

Super Speedy Chat 1.13.6 in its changelog

Super Speedy Coming Soon 1.7.3 3 August 2026

Updated the shared Super Speedy settings module: AI agents can check your licence and install other Super Speedy plugins over MCP, now also exposed on AI Engine's MCP endpoint when AI Engine is active
New Check frequency setting – cap licence, update and changelog checks to once a day or once a week, and see when the licence was last checked
Licence and changelog checks fail fast when superspeedyplugins.com cannot be reached, instead of hanging the settings page
The newest installed copy of the shared Super Speedy settings code now runs site-wide, whichever plugin loads first – previously the alphabetically-first plugin's often-older copy won
AI agents can read and change the signup-form settings over MCP (API keys never echoed back) and list the coming-soon products with their waitlist counts – also exposed on AI Engine's MCP endpoint

Super Speedy Coming Soon 1.7.3 in its changelog

Super Speedy Filters 6.43.2 3 August 2026

Pretty URLs can no longer be switched on when Permalinks are set to Plain, with a tooltip explaining why. The add-on works by adding rewrite rules, which Plain permalinks do not run, so it had no effect on those sites. If it is already on you can still switch it off.
WPML and Polylang: filter widgets now list only the terms belonging to the language being viewed, so each language shows its own facets and its own counts
WPML and Polylang: SEO overrides can now be set per language, using the new Language selector on the override and the language shown against each one in the list
An SEO override set to a language matches the page in either WPML URL format, whether the language is a directory such as /fr/ or a separate domain
The SEO title and meta description wording – prefix, suffix, separator and the per-taxonomy connectors – can now be translated in WPML String Translation or Polylang Strings, under the Super Speedy Filters domain
Filter links resolve to the correct term where two languages share a term slug, which happens most often when you use a different domain per language
Widget caching now varies by language under Polylang as well as WPML
Taxonomy archives return their products while the performance table is still being built, rather than only after wp ssf rebuild has run
Filters created by Auto Configure now respect the other filters on the page, so clicking one keeps the category you are already in
Filter widgets no longer log Undefined array key "resetcategory" notices
Tested up to WordPress 7.0
Auto-configure no longer removes your existing filters before it knows the new ones can be written – if anything goes wrong, your filters are put back exactly as they were
Undoing an auto-configure now keeps anything you added inside the filters layout yourself, instead of replacing the whole block with just the product grid
Undo only removes the filters that auto-configure created: a filter widget or filter block you added by hand is left alone, even if it sits in a slot a removed widget used to occupy
Auto-configure and undo no longer strip a level of escaping from the rest of the template, which could leave other blocks (notably ones carrying a font family) rendering with their default settings
Auto-configure survives a corrupted internal record instead of stopping half way, which previously left filters on the site with no way to undo them and added a second full set on the next run
Re-running auto-configure keeps the choices you made yourself rather than resetting them to the automatic ones
Setting a swatch colour by term now matches the term slug first, so a term whose slug is a number gets the colour instead of an unrelated term with that ID
Auto-configure is now flagged to AI assistants as a replacing operation, so they ask before running it

Super Speedy Filters 6.43.2 in its changelog

Super Speedy Filters 6.43.1 3 August 2026

If your site runs AI Engine, the Super Speedy licence and install tools now also appear on AI Engine's MCP endpoint, so one AI connector reaches them
Groundwork for AI-agent configuration of the other Super Speedy plugins via the shared settings module
New Check frequency setting – cap licence, update and changelog checks to once a day or once a week, and see when the licence was last checked
Licence and changelog checks fail fast when superspeedyplugins.com cannot be reached, instead of hanging the settings page
The newest installed copy of the shared Super Speedy settings code now runs site-wide, whichever plugin loads first – previously the alphabetically-first plugin's often-older copy won
The plugin's MCP abilities also appear on AI Engine's MCP endpoint as ssf_ tools when AI Engine is active, so one AI connector reaches them

Super Speedy Filters 6.43.1 in its changelog

Super Speedy Imports 2.82.1 3 August 2026

Updated the shared Super Speedy settings module: AI agents can check your licence and install other Super Speedy plugins over MCP, now also exposed on AI Engine's MCP endpoint when AI Engine is active
New Check frequency setting – cap licence, update and changelog checks to once a day or once a week, and see when the licence was last checked
Licence and changelog checks fail fast when superspeedyplugins.com cannot be reached, instead of hanging the settings page
The newest installed copy of the shared Super Speedy settings code now runs site-wide, whichever plugin loads first – previously the alphabetically-first plugin's often-older copy won

Super Speedy Imports 2.82.1 in its changelog

Super Speedy Imports 2.82.0 3 August 2026

Fixed simple-product imports not assigning the product_type taxonomy term, which wc_get_products() based tools and WooCommerce's attribute-lookup regeneration rely on; existing catalogues are backfilled automatically on their next import
New Back In Stock Notifier for WooCommerce compatibility, on by default when that plugin is active, so products an import genuinely restores to stock notify their subscribers through the notifier's own checks and mail queue
New a Follow-up tasks panel on the import complete screen shows how many products came back in stock, live progress as notifications hand over, a Run now button, and links to the notifier queue and background jobs
New Import History shows the same follow-up counts for past runs
New wp ssi changes and wp ssi retry-events show and drain the integration queue for a history or import
Only genuine out-of-stock to in-stock transitions notify, so blank or missing stock values in a CSV never count as a restock
A restock reversed by a later import or edit before its notification goes out is superseded and never mailed
The integration waits with an explanation while the notifier's own periodic third-party scanner or keep-subscribed setting is enabled
Undo restores never trigger customer notifications

Super Speedy Imports 2.82.0 in its changelog

Super Speedy Performance Analysis 0.9.7 3 August 2026

NEW bootstrap decomposition – the answer to "every page is slow but no single plugin shows up". Many sites pay a flat PHP cost on every request (plugin loading plus init hooks) that is spread across dozens of plugins in slices too small for one-at-a-time exclusion to see. Every profiled page now records where that time went, with nothing to install: the request broken into phases (core, plugin file loading, plugin boot callbacks, theme setup, init, routing, render), the PHP cost of EVERY plugin individually (file load time plus its callbacks on the expensive hooks), and the slowest single hook callbacks by name.
Find it in the Pages tab: click any page row – "Where the PHP time went" appears in the drill-down alongside the existing query and HTTP detail.
The instrument only runs on the analysis's own signed requests, adds two clock reads per callback there, and touches nothing on normal traffic.

Super Speedy Performance Analysis 0.9.7 in its changelog

Super Speedy Performance Analysis 0.9.6 3 August 2026

FIXED during Deep Analysis, a page that fatally errors while a plugin is virtually excluded (for example the WooCommerce orders screen without WooCommerce Subscriptions, whose order types it needs) triggered WordPress's built-in fatal-error email, telling the site owner their site had a technical issue and blaming the plugin whose file threw. Profiling requests now set the same sandbox flag WordPress uses for its own loopback tests, so these controlled test failures no longer send recovery-mode emails or trigger recovery mode. Real visitor requests are unaffected and keep WordPress's full protection.
Deep Analysis now reports such pages as discovered hard dependencies: the run summary names the plugin and page that cannot run without it, explains that only the analysis's own test requests saw the error, and that the plugin was never actually deactivated. Measurement was never affected – failed cells were already excluded from every impact number.
To be clear about what Deep Analysis never does: it does not deactivate plugins. It excludes one plugin at a time for its own signed test requests only, and plugins that others declare as required (WooCommerce on this site, via the Requires Plugins header) are never candidates at all.

Super Speedy Performance Analysis 0.9.6 in its changelog

Super Speedy Performance Analysis 0.9.5 3 August 2026

FIXED a custom post type whose archive URL embeds a taxonomy placeholder (a knowledge base at /kb/%kb_category%/, for example) was profiled at the literal placeholder URL, which can never verify the signed profiling token, so the page silently produced no data. The placeholder is now filled in with the taxonomy's biggest term, and the page is skipped entirely if no term exists.

Super Speedy Performance Analysis 0.9.5 in its changelog

Super Speedy Performance Analysis 0.9.4 3 August 2026

FIXED pages served by a full-page cache or CDN were silently skipped. Every profiling request now carries a unique cache-busting query argument (signed into the token, so it cannot be stripped), guaranteeing the request reaches PHP instead of being answered from nginx, Varnish, LiteSpeed or a CDN cache – previously the home page, shop and product pages of any cached site produced no data at all.
Profiled responses now send Cache-Control no-store, so a cache can never store one and serve it to a real visitor.
Runs that still could not measure some pages now say so loudly: a warning on the Overview names how many pages went unmeasured, the Pages tab marks each one "not measured – cache served it", and the count is stored with the run instead of the score quietly ignoring them.
FIXED with Query Monitor's db.php in place, EVERY query was attributed to Query Monitor – its database class is the innermost frame of every query stack, and attribution stopped there. The database layer (Query Monitor's, LudicrousDB's, or any other wpdb subclass) is now skipped, so queries are attributed to the plugin that actually ran them.
FIXED with Query Monitor ACTIVE, anonymous (logged-out) page profiles captured no per-query data at all – Query Monitor only collects for logged-in viewers. The health check now warns about this instead of claiming full detail, and the temporary db.php swap is offered for Query Monitor too, not just for unknown drop-ins.
NEW detects an orphaned Query Monitor db.php (the plugin deactivated but its drop-in left behind, which blocks our capture layer) and offers a one-click replacement – the old file is renamed, never deleted.
When no per-query capture was possible, SQL time and row totals are now stored as unknown rather than zero, so a blind measurement can no longer be mistaken for a page that spent no time in SQL.
Cache-served responses are recognised from more signals (x-fastcgi-cache, the Age header and others), so they are classified as cached rather than reported as a generic canary failure.

Super Speedy Performance Analysis 0.9.3 3 August 2026

Updated the shared Super Speedy settings module: AI agents can check your licence and install other Super Speedy plugins over MCP, now also exposed on AI Engine's MCP endpoint when AI Engine is active
New Check frequency setting – cap licence, update and changelog checks to once a day or once a week, and see when the licence was last checked
Licence and changelog checks fail fast when superspeedyplugins.com cannot be reached, instead of hanging the settings page
The newest installed copy of the shared Super Speedy settings code now runs site-wide, whichever plugin loads first – previously the alphabetically-first plugin's often-older copy won

Super Speedy Performance Analysis 0.9.3 in its changelog

Scalability Pro 6.27 2 August 2026

Added an Advanced-tab good-settings preset with a complete preview of settings changes and applicable indexes before confirmation
Added estimated-total, maximum-page and progressive Previous/current/Next pagination strategies for archives where exact totals are disabled
Added a one-result pagination look-ahead so a full final page no longer links to an empty Next page
Added optional scheduled daily or weekly term recounts, configurable start time, batched progress and a manual Run now action
Added a Performance Analyser status panel and link on the Advanced tab
Added an Advanced-tab option to keep Scalability Pro indexes when the plugin is deactivated; index deletion remains enabled by default
Added six WordPress Abilities API abilities for inspecting settings, measuring pages and database probes, changing safe or confirmed settings, and managing indexes
Moved the WP All Import Query Monitor diagnostic into the separate spro-addon-query-monitor support plugin, removing eval() from Scalability Pro
Replaced direct wp-config.php rewriting with atomic wp-content/spro-config.php generation and safe migration of the legacy $SPRO_GLOBALS block
Added versioned index definitions, exact column and direction drift detection, retired-index cleanup and automatic resumable reconciliation for existing installations
Added a server-side index-operation lock and bounded, resumable index deletion to prevent overlapping or timed-out DDL requests
Removed two duplicate index definitions and corrected multisite user and usermeta index handling
Fixed custom post type bulk actions disappearing when the Bulk Edit safety limit is exceeded; only Bulk Edit is now removed
Fixed newly registered custom image sizes being removed even though the administrator had never deselected them
Fixed concurrent cache writes causing duplicate-entry errors by replacing delete-then-insert with one atomic upsert
Fixed post-count and WP All Export query filters inspecting unrelated queries for the rest of the request
Added a scoped comment-query option for skipping exact totals inside custom query alterations
Fixed the experimental taxonomy EXISTS rewrite interpolating unsanitised taxonomy names and term IDs
Fixed GROUP BY optimisation applying DISTINCT to wp_posts.* queries with joins
Fixed slow-query logging opening a new MySQL connection for every logged query and mishandling DB_HOST ports or sockets
Fixed the original cache tables using inconsistent character sets and racy creation checks
Added a WP Admin notice and manual action for clearing the deliberately persistent month-dropdown cache
Hardened settings import/export, product-attribute term search and direct access to include files
Removed production debug logging, stale hooks, a public developer shortcode and other unreachable code

Scalability Pro 6.27 in its changelog

Country Based Prices 1.11.0 1 August 2026

Fixed a logged-in customer is now priced from the address saved on their account when they have not given one this visit.

Country Based Prices 1.11.0 in its changelog

Super Speedy Chat 1.13 1 August 2026

NEW Test Mode setting – the chat bubble only appears for visitors whose URL includes ?ssc-test=1 (remembered for their browser session), so you can try chat on a live site before showing it to the public
Fixed the Discord, WhatsApp and Status settings tabs each showing another tab's content
Saving settings now returns you to the tab you saved from instead of the Chats tab
Added ? help tooltips explaining the WhatsApp Re-engagement Template and Template Language settings
The webhook instructions on the WhatsApp tab now link to your Meta apps dashboard and the setup guide in our knowledge base
Password manager popups (Bitwarden, 1Password, LastPass, Dashlane) no longer appear over the token and secret fields on the settings page
NEW settings export and import on the Status tab – exports leave out your tokens and secrets unless you tick the box, and imports only accept settings the plugin recognises
NEW webhook activity log on the WhatsApp tab – every webhook Meta sends (received, ignored or rejected, with the reason) is listed with its time, so you can see from the GUI whether inbound messages are arriving, being refused, or never reaching your site at all
Fixed real WhatsApp messages never arriving despite a verified webhook: Test Connection now checks that your app is subscribed to your WhatsApp Business Account and subscribes it automatically if Meta's setup flow skipped that step, with a new Business Account ID (asset_id) field it usually fills in by itself
Fixed website chat messages not forwarding to your WhatsApp when Ultra Ajax is enabled – the fast path now pushes to WhatsApp like it already did to Discord (mu-plugin 1.3.0, updated automatically when you visit the Status tab)
All WhatsApp send attempts, successes and failures now appear in the activity log on the WhatsApp tab, with the exact Meta error message when a send fails
Logged-in visitors now show their real name in conversations and in Discord/WhatsApp forwards instead of Visitor, including when Ultra Ajax is enabled
Replies you send by WhatsApp quote-reply now show your configured Shared Display Name in the chat instead of Admin (WhatsApp)
NEW Display tab in the plugin settings with every appearance option and a live preview beside them – colours, title, icons, teaser text and the attention animation all update as you type
NEW Catch Attention – wobble, bounce, shake, pulse or glow the chat bubble after time on page, scroll depth, exit intent or when a reply arrives while the chat is closed, with a frequency cap, an optional dismissable teaser bubble with your own text, and automatic respect for visitors with reduced motion enabled
NEW Ajax Type selector on the Settings tab – Normal REST (full WordPress load), Fast REST (WordPress boots with only the plugins you tick) or Ultra Ajax (full bypass), each explained honestly with a tooltip covering the real trade-offs
NEW one-click Ajax benchmark – times all three types against your own server (read-only, five samples each) and verifies each returns responses identical to a full WordPress load before naming a winner (mu-plugin 2.0.0)
Fixed the WordPress 6.7+ warning Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly for the super-speedy-chat domain
NEW Start Open option – the chat window can open automatically on page load, staying closed for the rest of the session once a visitor closes it
NEW Powered by Super Speedy Chat footer link can now be switched off (on by default), and it links to the product page
The Display preview now uses the real front-end widget at full size and plays the actual visitor experience on a loop: attention nudge, teaser, a cursor clicking the bubble, and the window bouncing open – or starting open if you choose Start Open
Clearing the chat window title now leaves it empty instead of reverting to Chat, for headers carried by an image
The benchmark bars now fill smoothly forward against a live estimate and settle at their true proportions instead of resetting mid-run, using the same bar logic as Super Speedy Ajax Prices (shared reusable module)
Chat responses now send explicit no-store cache headers on every path, guarding against misconfigured page caches or CDNs ever storing one visitor's messages
NEW Sounds panel on the Display tab – choose separate open, close and new-message sounds from the bundled set, pick No sound, or upload your own audio through the media library, with a play button to audition each one and a volume slider (moved from the Behaviour tab)
NEW separate close sound – the close click can play its own sound instead of reusing the open one (it still follows the open sound unless you change it)
Clicking the bubble in the Display preview now plays your chosen open and close sounds at your chosen volume, exactly like the front end
The WordPress Customizer section has been removed – appearance is edited on the Display tab, whose preview shows things the Customizer never could (the attention animations, sounds, open/close behaviour); your saved appearance settings carry over unchanged
NEW Window background and Message box background colours on the Display tab – dark themes for the chat window are now possible
Text colours now adapt automatically: pick a dark background and the text switches to white, pick a light one and it switches to dark – applied to the header, visitor messages, trigger button, window and message box, so no colour choice can leave text unreadable
Removed the old Ultra Ajax checkbox from the General tab – the Ajax Type selector on the Settings tab is the one control now, and fixed the front end using the aggressive Ultra polling speeds when the old checkbox was ticked but Ajax Type said otherwise
NEW Opening Hours tab – a weekly schedule (two ranges per day, overnight ranges supported, site timezone) plus instant Snooze and "I'm around" overrides, so the chat knows when you are actually available
NEW while away the bubble can show a snooze badge (crescent moon, Zzz, clock or amber dot), hide completely, or stay unchanged – with an away header line that can show visitors when you are back in their own timezone, a separate away welcome message, and an option to ask for their email straight away
Catch Attention nudges and Start Open pause automatically while away – no wobbling at visitors at 3am
NEW pause Discord and/or WhatsApp forwards while away – your phone stays quiet overnight; messages are still stored, still in the dashboard, email notifications still send, and your own replies always go out (mu-plugin 2.1.0, updated automatically when you visit the Settings tab)
Availability rides on every chat poll, so pages served stale from a full-page cache correct their away state within seconds
NEW Search Assist – when no admin replies in time and no canned response matches, a named robot suggests 1 to 3 links from your own site search in a single chat message (just 1 when it's the obvious answer); uses Super Speedy Search when installed, standard WordPress search otherwise, and works with no AI configured at all
NEW Robot Name setting on the Display Names tab (default Super Speedy Robot) – every automated reply speaks as your named robot, clearly distinct from human admins, in the chat bubble and the admin conversation view
When an AI key is configured, search keywords are extracted in the same AI call that picks canned responses – no extra cost, and the response format stays locked down so a manipulated reply can at worst search for nonsense
Fixed a cleared Window Title refilling with "Chat" on the settings page after saving – an empty title now stays empty
The "Chat on WhatsApp" bar now follows your chosen window background and border colours instead of always being white
Renamed the WhatsApp tab's "Click to Chat" setting to '"Chat on WhatsApp" Link' so the switch is findable – untick it to remove the link from the bubble
NEW Admin messages colour on the Display tab – the bubbles for your replies can now match your theme too, with the same automatic dark/white text
Fixed the chat window being pushed below the screen after any desktop window resize, zoom change or dev-tools toggle while open – the mobile keyboard resize handling now only engages when a virtual keyboard is actually covering the page, and cleans up after itself when it closes
A failed chat session start now retries once and logs a console warning instead of leaving the chat silently dead (no history, no polling) until the next message was sent
Fixed a fatal error (HTTP 500) on the chat session request for logged-in visitors when Ultra Ajax is active – WordPress defines its login-cookie constants after the fast path runs, so identifying the logged-in user crashed instead; this is why chat history seemed to vanish on refresh for admins while anonymous visitors were unaffected
Fixed a wide header image (banner-ratio logos) pushing the chat close button off the screen on mobile – the logo now shrinks to fit, keeping its aspect ratio, and long window titles truncate with an ellipsis instead of overflowing the header
Fixed Search Assist never firing on Ultra Ajax sites – the fast path was intercepting the auto-reply request and skipping the search step, so sites without an AI key got no robot suggestions at all (mu-plugin 2.2.0, updated automatically when you visit the Settings tab)
Search Assist now retries with fewer keywords when the first search finds nothing – standard WordPress search requires every word to match, so one filler word could hide an obvious result
Fixed the robot's search suggestions rendering as raw code instead of clickable links – the message type was silently rejected by the database schema
NEW Delete Conversation – permanently remove a conversation and all its messages from the conversation list or the conversation view, with a confirmation step; deletion also cleans up participants and any Discord/WhatsApp mappings so nothing is left orphaned
Fixed clicking Edit or Delete on a canned response submitting the whole settings form instead – which re-saved every setting, never opened the editor, and on a stale login session dumped you at a login screen
Fixed chat and admin requests returning 404 on sites using plain permalinks – the REST URLs were malformed with a second question mark, which silently broke message polling and the canned responses list
The message box text is vertically centred on every browser engine: the input is hard-reset against theme and shop-plugin styling (so nothing external can skew it) and its line height exactly fills the content area, which makes the browser itself centre the text – verified identical in Chrome, Safari and Firefox rendering engines, desktop and mobile
Fixed the Volume setting having no effect on the front end – playback was locked to 30% no matter what the slider said; your chosen volume now genuinely applies to every open, close and message sound
Sounds no longer overlap or pile up: a new sound always interrupts the one still playing, and a batch of several replies arriving in one poll plays a single notification instead of a chorus
Saving chat settings now purges common full-page caches (Nginx Helper, WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, WP Super Cache, LiteSpeed) so colour, sound and behaviour changes show on cached pages immediately instead of whenever the cache expires

Super Speedy Chat 1.13 in its changelog

Country Based Prices 1.10.1 31 July 2026

Declared compatible with High Performance Order Storage and with the cart and checkout blocks, so WooCommerce no longer lists this add-on as uncertain or stops you switching HPOS on.

Country Based Prices 1.10.1 in its changelog

Country Based Prices 1.10.0 31 July 2026

Each zone now prices in its own currency's units, so a yen or won zone shows whole numbers rather than decimals your payment provider would drop.
New a Decimal places field on each zone, and a warning when a rounding rule cannot work in that zone's currency.
