Remove All Litespeed & QUIC Cloud Traces from WordPress (Plugin)

Seems like a lot of what we do here at Foxco is cleaning up and optimizing rather than building– and that’s ok too. A big issue with WordPress (or rather WordPress users) is that they tend to install and configure plugins capriciously, “just in case” or for a small feature (that would probably be better as a few lines of code rather than a full plugin). Litespeed Cache and the wordpress plugin is quite good, if you’re very experienced with it and know how to configure and debug it and exclude the correct files. The Litespeed presets are a very blunt tool and with the more advanced presets (without specialized configuration) the cache will often fail, often making your website look like a Picasso painting. Recently I moved a client from Hostinger to Kinsta (click those links to read my reviews of both) and Kinsta employs several layers of caching — including Edge Caching, its Cloudflare-powered CDN, and built-in server and object caching– making Litespeed unnecessary (in fact they don’t even allow it because it conflicts causing errors like ERR_QUIC_PROTOCOL_ERROR etc). Anyhow if you do move to a new host or decide that Litespeed and QUIC Cloud isn’t for you then you can uninstall them but like most plugins they still leave some garbage behind. This plugin solves that. What this Plugin Does The plugin thoroughly cleans: Click here or the image below to download the plugin.

PROJECT: Marine Battery (MarineBattery.com)

Foxco is finishing up a cool project right now, Marine Battery (MarineBattery.com) built on WordPress & WooCommerce. What makes Marine Batteries interesting? In 2023, the global Marine Battery market was valued at $550 million. By 2030, it’s projected to surge to $2.3 billion—a staggering 400% growth in under a decade. While the broader battery market may slow due to longer-lasting lithium tech, marine batteries are on a different trajectory, drawing sharp investor and industry focus. What’s Driving the Growth? This shift marks a fundamental transformation in how recreational and small commercial boats are powered—and marine batteries are at the heart of it. A couple cool features on the Marine Battery website: 1. Trolling Motor Runtime Calculator: how long will your trolling motor last per outing, based on various criteria, such as: 2. Marine Battery Lifespan Calculator: Whereas the other calculator will tell you about how long your battery will last out in the water, this calculator tells you how long your battery will last over time (years etc) also based on various criteria. 3. Applications, Cross References & Big Data. Eventually this site will have thousands of SKUs and a listing for every make model and series of watercraft ever made (Big Data!). I’ll add more as the project is finalized.

Javascript Age Gate For Shopify (21+, 18+)

checking an ID

A Foxco client has a Shopify store with too many apps which slows the site down (and of course they all cost some amount of money each month). Because it’s an alcohol delivery and gift site by law shoppers must be over 21 years old or older. Hey check out the site if you like top shelf whiskey, rum, gin, bourbon, wine, tequila etc it’s called Sipsy.com 🙂 Many other sites require you to be 18+ for a variety of reasons. Anyhow, below is the javascript code with instructions on how to add it to your Shopify store. I’ve highlighted the areas in yellow that you might want to change. If you like this js please consider using Foxco.net as your redirect URL (too many people use Disney.com and they don’t really deserve all those backlinks IMO). If anyone requests it i’ll make a lightweight wordpress plugin based on this with styling tools — or you can just install the .js below yourself.
