WordPress Toolkit

Every WordPress site, managed from one page

Performance switches applied live: nginx page cache, a real system cron instead of WP-Cron, search engine indexing and maintenance mode (HTTP 503)
Nginx full-page cache that clears itself: Reqad installs the free Reqad Cache Purger WordPress plugin, which purges the cache whenever content changes

Mail server

Exim settings without editing config files

Configure the Exim mail server from the panel: general settings, DNS blocklists, sending limits and advanced options. Exim checks each change before it is applied.

Hourly sending limits per domain, counted from the mailbox that logged in - not a forgeable sender address
Choose what happens over the limit: hold in the queue, temporary reject (451) or permanent reject (550)
Cap failed deliveries per hour to catch compromised mailboxes early
Live per-domain counters for the current hour

Backups

Nightly off-server backups

Each night Reqad streams a full backup of every account to your own backup server over SSH, so large archives never fill up the local disk. Set the schedule and retention once, then browse and restore from the panel.

Streams over SSH to any server you control, with a connection and free-space check
Nightly schedule, keep the last N backups and get an email on errors
Every backup listed with its size, account count and status
Restore a whole account, just its website files or a single database
