The WordPress plugins included with Zinn® hosting

Every WordPress site we host on our own servers comes with our own plugins already installed and activated, on every hosting line, Footprint-Free included. You do not download them, you do not pay for them, and they keep themselves up to date. They are built to keep your site fast: nothing they do adds weight to the pages your visitors load.

Preinstalled on every WordPress site

• Zinn® Cache makes your pages load fast. It drives the LiteSpeed page cache your server already runs and clears only what changed when you publish or edit, so visitors never see a stale copy and the rest of the cache stays warm. Find it under Zinn Digital® → Cache in wp-admin: the Status tab shows which cache answers and lets you purge one address. It can also switch on a Redis object cache for busy shops. Full guide: the Zinn® Cache plugin.
• Zinn® Chat is a live chat box that answers visitors from your own pages and hands the conversation over to you. It stays switched off, and adds nothing to your pages, until you turn a chat on in the Live chat section of your dashboard; then the widget appears with no code to paste. Full guide: the Zinn® Chat plugin.
• Zinn® Footprint lets your dashboard open wp-admin for you without a password, and takes out what a WordPress site gives away about itself: the version number in its pages, XML-RPC and similar signals. Each removal is its own switch under the Zinn Digital® menu in wp-admin. Full guide: the Zinn® Footprint plugin.

Installed once by default, yours to keep or remove

Tranzly™ turns a site multilingual: one real post per language, translated addresses and multilingual SEO. We install its free edition once on every new WordPress site. Unlike the three above, it is yours: if you delete it, it stays deleted.

Free plugins you can add in one click

These are not installed for you, because not every site needs them. Each one is free, and each has its own page under WordPress plugins with a download link.

• Zinn® SEO: titles, sitemaps, rich results, redirects and AI visibility, with nothing added to the pages your visitors load.
• Zinn® Backups: back up files and database to your own Dropbox, Google Drive, Cloudflare R2 or S3 storage, and restore them safely.
• Zinn® Offload: move your media library to object storage and serve it from a CDN.
• Zinn® Order Updates: connect a WooCommerce store to Zinn® Campaigns in one click. Each order keeps the language it was bought in, and help and support tickets live inside the plugin.
• Page Builder Sandwich: a visual page builder that saves ordinary WordPress blocks and leaves no builder footprint on the front end.
• Zinn® Ads: conversion tracking for Google Ads and Microsoft Advertising with no code.

No footprint, no bloat, and no inodes used

Our plugins leave no footprint on your sites and add no bloat to the front end your visitors load. They are lightweight, and an unmodified release of ours does not count toward your site's file (inode) allowance or its disk space: the figures on your site's Storage card are shown without them. That makes them a perfect fit for PBN sites. A folder only counts as ours when every file matches a release we published, so a copy you have edited is counted like any other plugin. See our plugins do not count toward your limits.

Pro editions: an upgrade, discounted for hosting customers

The plugins above are free editions. Where a plugin has a paid Pro edition, it is an optional upgrade that you buy separately, for sites hosted with us or anywhere else; hosting does not include any Pro edition. With a paid hosting plan in good standing you get a personal discount code for your first payment of any Pro edition: open Pro plugins discount in your dashboard, or use the upgrade box of the free plugin in wp-admin. The percentage and the rules are in the Pro plugins discount for hosting customers, and every price, with where to buy, is in Zinn® WordPress plugin prices.

Questions

Do I pay anything for the included plugins?

No. The preinstalled plugins and Tranzly™ are free editions, included with every WordPress site we host. Only a Pro edition costs money, and only if you choose to buy one.

Can I delete a preinstalled plugin?

You can, but the platform installs Zinn® Cache, Zinn® Chat and Zinn® Footprint again at its next routine check of your site, because other features rely on them. To stop one doing something, use its own settings. Tranzly™ is the exception: delete it and it stays deleted.

Do these plugins slow my site down?

No. Zinn® Cache is what makes the pages fast, Zinn® Chat adds nothing until you switch a chat on, and Zinn® Footprint only removes things. None of them adds scripts or styles to pages where they are not used.

How do they stay up to date?

They update themselves, and each update is checked against the release we published before it is installed. See our plugins update themselves.

What if a plugin is missing?

The routine check puts back anything the platform installs, usually within the hour. If it is still missing after that, open a support ticket and say which site and which plugin.
