Version 2.4.0 of our Perfmatters WordPress plugin was released on February 26, 2025.
Changelog summary
- Added new perfmatters_rucss_async_stylesheets filter and built-in settings for dashicons and animation stylesheets which were already excluded from used CSS.
- Added new perfmatters_after_local_analytics action hook.

- Fixed an issue where the Clear Used CSS meta button was not working correctly for certain URL types.
- Fixed a PHP warning coming from certain rewrite rule formats when MU Mode was turned on.
- Removed BETA tag from preload lazy elements option.
