What You Can Do with JetHost Total Care

JetHost Total Care is a lightweight plugin designed to help you fine-tune key WordPress settings that affect performance, privacy, and core behavior. In particular, it focuses on core behaviors things most people never touch, but that quietly affect how secure, fast, and manageable a WordPress site feels.

Whether you’re just getting started or already managing multiple installs, JetHost Total Care gives you one place to manage dozens of important backend and frontend tweaks. It works for site owners handling things themselves, support agents working on client sites, or anyone looking to clean up and tighten a WordPress setup.

Plugin Settings Overview

JetHost Total Care is organized into two main tabs: Enhancements and Security. Below is a full list of everything JetHost Total Care lets you control, grouped by tab and listed in the same order they appear in the plugin. Each setting can be turned on or off independently. Here’s what you can do with each:

Enhancements

Settings in this section are focused on performance, clutter reduction, and system behavior.

Do I Need to Use Every Setting?

No – and that’s the point. JetHost Total Care gives you full control, but it doesn’t force any defaults. Instead, you decide what’s useful based on how you work and what your site actually needs. You can:

Enable only the features that make sense for your site
Use it alongside your existing security or optimization plugins
Disable any setting at any time – nothing is permanent

For example, if you’re only concerned about frontend clutter, you can stick to the Enhancement tab and leave the rest untouched. On the other hand, if you’re responsible for client security, the quick-toggle privacy options in the Security tab might be more relevant.

In short, the plugin fits around your workflow without forcing changes or making assumptions.
