I build WordPress plugins that solve specific workflow bottlenecks while remaining lightweight and easy to maintain. My focus is on practical tooling—efficient admin utilities and purpose-built features that keep your site fast and your dashboard clean.
Performance-First Development Every plugin I release is built with a “no-bloat” philosophy. I focus on clean code that integrates seamlessly with the WordPress core, ensuring your site remains stable during updates. Whether you’re a developer needing an emergency bypass or a site owner looking for streamlined features, these tools are built for reliability.
Current Releases & Project Updates Below are my active projects and recent releases. Each plugin post includes detailed functionality overviews, installation steps, and links to source code for full transparency.
The Benefit of Lightweight Tooling for WordPress Plugins
In the modern WordPress ecosystem, “feature bloat” is a common issue. Many WordPress Plugins attempt to do too much, slowing down your site with unnecessary CSS and JavaScript. My approach to WordPress development is different. I prioritize “Single-Purpose” tools. By focusing on one specific problem—like site recovery or form generation—the code remains clean, the security footprint stays small, and your site’s loading speed remains unaffected.
Reliability & Maintenance
Stability is the core of a good workflow. I build these WordPress Plugins to be “set it and forget it.” Because I use these same utilities on my own production environments, they are regularly tested against the latest WordPress core updates. This ensures that when you install a Chris Truitt plugin, you aren’t just getting a tool; you’re getting a commitment to long-term compatibility and standard-compliant code.
