In 2013, Google launched PageSpeed Insights. At that time, everyone used Google Analytics. Here was the problem: Google’s own speed tool penalized you for using Google’s own analytics tool. The contradiction was absurd enough to make me want to fix it.

I built CAOS, a plugin that lets you host Google Analytics locally and stop the penalty. It worked. CAOS Pro took it a step further and even allowed you to bypass ad blockers with its Stealth Mode.

OMGF came next. I was the first developer to build a plugin for hosting Google Fonts locally, before it was mainstream, before WP core included it, before every major plugin copied the approach. That is roughly how I operate. 😎

In 2026, after Elementor, Gutenberg, WP Rocket (and more) copied it, OMGF Pro remains the undisputed champion in terms of optimization and detection.

Other GDPR related plugins are:

• Brevo for Easy Digital Downloads, as an alternative for MailChimp users in the EU, and
• GDPRess, an asset manager with a focus on locally hosting and/or removing 3rd party requests.

I go where others don’t. My plugins consistently solve problems the industry is pretending don’t exist, until someone realizes there’s money in it. By then, mine usually have a years-long head start and hundreds of thousands of active users.

I’m also not a team. No support department. No outsourced development. No investors calling the shots. Just me, which means when something ships, I stand behind it entirely. When something breaks, I fix it. When you reach out, you are talking to the person who wrote the code and makes all the decisions.

Daan.dev is just me. Hence the name. That’s the point, and the advantage.

People assume there's a team behind Daan.dev. There isn't. That's the point, and the advantage.
