FluentSnippets – The High-Performance file based Custom Code Snippets Plugin

Description

Experience unmatched speed and security with a unique file-based code snippet plugin, designed for security & speed

FluentSnippets is the Most Secure and Performance-Focused Code Snippet Plugin for WordPress. FluentSnippets store your snippets in flat files, so it does not run SQL queries for your snippets. It is the Fastest Code Snippet Plugin for WordPress.
Our mission is to streamline the process of integrating custom code snippets in WordPress, making it safe, secure, fast, and hassle-free.

Why FluentSnippets?

FluentSnippets stores the code snippets in the flat file and uses code blocks in each snippet file to add metadata like a description, title, conditional logic, snippet type, and other things. We also parse these data once and cache these into index.php so we don’t have to parse these code blocks in every request. Then on runtime, it just includes those files to your selected action hook. In the whole process, FluentSnippets runs 0 database queries. In fact, we don’t have any Database query in the whole plugin runtime.
With this native design, FluentSnippets is native, secure by design, and the most performant code snippets in this category.

Features

• File-based Snippets: Your snippets are safely saved in your file system and load natively with zero database queries, so it’s safe, secure, and ultra-fast.
• Custom Code Snippets: Write your custom code snippets including PHP, JS, CSS, HTML, and more. Categorize your snippets with groups, tags, etc
• Advanced Conditional Logic: Execute code snippets solely under specified conditions like post type, date, URL, user type, and many more.
• Automatic Error Handling: The automatic error hander prevents common errors when adding custom snippets to ensure they never break your site.
• Custom Shortcode: With custom shortcode of your snippets, you can create custom dynamic content blocks and use them across your site and manage them.
• Stand-alone Mode: The most interesting feature is the Stand-alone Mode. With this feature, you can add your snippets, activate the standalone mode, and then you can uninstall and delete the plugin and your snippets will still run via mu-plugins architecture and when you reactivate the plugin you can manage your snippets as before.

Powerful Smart Conditional Logics

We have added smart conditional logic to let you choose precisely where you want to execute your code. These conditional logics include

• User’s Login State or Role
• Type of Pages
• Post Types
• Taxonomy or Term-Based Rule
• By Page / Post URL
• Target Specific Page / Post / CPT
• Date Based Conditions
• FluentCRM Tag / Lists based rule of the current contact

These conditions are grouped-based, which means you can add multiple groups with a set of conditions and if any of the group match the condions it will execute the snippet.

Snippet Types

FluentSnippets has four types of snippets. You can choose the snippet type from the snippet type selection.

Functions – PHP Snippet: This snippet is for all the PHP code that you need to execute in specific areas like you would write in your theme’s functions.php file.
You can use this snippet type to create functions/classes, hook into other actions and filters, and more.

Content – PHP + HTML Snippet Type: This snippet type is used to insert content to different places like header, footer, after-post content, before-post content, etc. You can write php / html / js / css code in this snippet type.

CSS Snippet Type: You can use this snippet type to add custom CSS to your site.

JS Snippet Type: You can use this snippet type to add custom JS to your site.

FAQ

What are the differences between FluentSnippets & other code snippets plugins?

The primary difference is that FluentSnippets is built for speed, security, and ease of use. All other Code Snippet plugins store all the snippets in Database tables so in every WordPress request, they do extensive DB queries to execute them. The method is very slow and dangerous for site security. The snippets can be modified or exploited via SQL injection caused by other plugins.

FluentSnippets solves this very specific problem by storing all the snippets in a flat file and loading the snippets just like any of the feature plugins. So it’s a fast, secure, and native solution for all of your custom code snippets.

What is the primary function of FluentSnippets and how can it benefit my website?

The primary function of the FluentSnippets plugin is to allow you to add custom code snippets to your WordPress site easily and without editing your theme’s or child theme’s files directly.

It provides a user-friendly interface to add, manage, and execute custom PHP, HTML, JavaScript, or CSS snippets on your website. This is particularly beneficial as it ensures the sustainability of your code – your custom changes won’t disappear after a theme update.

Whether you need to add a simple CSS tweak, embed custom HTML in the header or footer, or run a complex PHP script, FluentSnippets can handle it, saving you time and making the process safer and more efficient.

Is it required to have coding knowledge to use this plugin?

While having some basic coding knowledge can certainly be beneficial when using this plugin, it’s not absolutely necessary. FluentSnippets is designed to be user-friendly and accessible to a wide range of users.

The purpose is to simplify the process of adding custom code to your website. This means you can easily insert custom PHP, JavaScript, HTML, or CSS into your site without editing your theme’s files directly, which can be complex and risky for beginners.

Will FluentSnippets slow down my site?

Absolutely not. Unlike other code snippets plugin, FluentSnippets does not use the database to store your custom snippets, it uses flat file-based storing method to store your snippets securely and execute those by loading from the file system which is extremely fast & native. In fact, FluentSnippets does not store or query the database at all.

Reviews

Free and useful

Dvysss November 1, 2024

Love using this plug-in. Would pay for it if it would get it to get a bit more attention by the developers.

Very Cool (but bad design)

allbutone October 23, 2024

This Plugin is very useful and works great! The actually biggest problem is it’s bad UI. It’s hard to see, which snippets are active and which snippet belongs to which category. Just look at CodeSnippet, they have done it much better – but well, this plugin is free ??

Fast and secure!

FluentSnippet Review

WpScriptly July 12, 2024

FluentSnippet is a remarkable free WordPress plugin that offers features often found in premium plugins. Its user-friendly interface makes creating PHP, JavaScript, and CSS scripts easy, even for those with limited coding experience. The plugin’s conditional logic feature is a game-changer, working flawlessly to enable advanced customizations. While the font size in list views is a bit small and there’s currently no export feature for scripts, these are minor drawbacks. They do not detract from the plugin’s overall usability and power. FluentSnippet is an invaluable tool for enhancing any WordPress site with custom scripting capabilities, making it a must-have for users seeking to elevate their site without extra costs. -Scot

Superb Plugin

Charlie June 5, 2024

The best in class! Does not store in your DB, as others do. A superb free plugin. Note – Most negative comments are about the old plugin before it was taken over and re-written by WpManageNinja
