JPKCom Gutenberg Bootstrap Optimizer — Guide & Tips
Automatically fix and optimize Gutenberg and Bootstrap settings in WordPress — installation and practical notes for the JPKCom Gutenberg Bootstrap Optimizer.
JPKCom Gutenberg Bootstrap Optimizer fixes and optimizes settings for the interplay of Gutenberg and Bootstrap. The plugin works without a settings page — once activated, its adjustments take effect automatically.
Guide
Requirements
- WordPress 6.9 or newer (tested up to 7.0)
- PHP 8.3 or newer
Installation
- In your admin panel, go to Plugins → Add New and click Upload Plugin.
- Choose the plugin's ZIP file and click Install Now.
- Click Activate — the plugin is ready to use right away.
There is no settings page. Once the plugin is active, the optimizations apply automatically.
Tips & Tricks
- Best in Bootstrap-based setups: The plugin targets projects where Gutenberg is used together with Bootstrap — for example themes or page builders built on Bootstrap.
- Activate and forget: As there is no configuration, nothing needs to be set up after activation.
- Reproducible updates: Since version 2.0.3 the plugin uses secure self-hosted updates via GitHub with SHA256 checksums and runs with
declare(strict_types=1).
