About getButterfly

Since 2005, one developer has run getButterfly as a workshop producing WordPress plugins, and alongside them a set of free JavaScript libraries. The business describes its work as hand-crafted, lasting software, built without venture capital, advertising or a corporate plugin factory behind it. It says its plugins have been downloaded more than 500,000 times, and its developer has been making them since 2005.

Plugins for site speed and monitoring

Lighthouse is the flagship performance plugin. It is built to show why a WordPress site runs slowly and to help fix the cause, and the business says it can improve, monitor and track a site's performance over time with tips on what to change. IO monitors website health for WordPress, and WP Google Consent Platform adds support for Google Consent Mode v2. Several of these plugins are sold in a PRO version.

Privacy-friendly analytics and site copying

Active Analytics is a WordPress analytics plugin that the business presents as privacy-enhanced and lightweight. It lets site owners see what visitors actually do, with no dependence on Google Analytics. LazyClone moves a whole WordPress site, in one file, from the dashboard, with no FTP access needed.

Galleries, eCards and sports clubs

ImagePress is an image gallery and community photo plugin that lets people upload, organize and show their work. eCards sends electronic cards and includes an email designer. Fixtures and Results records, displays and searches football, hurling, camogie and handball matches, which suits sports leagues and clubs that need a results service on their website.

Forms and themes

Repeater for Gravity Forms lets a single form carry repeatable field groups, so it can collect several entries of the same kind without custom code. Saturn is a fast, lightweight WordPress theme built for the native block editor, and the business says it is compatible with a wide range of block patterns.

Free JavaScript libraries and tutorials

Alongside the plugins, the business publishes a repository of JavaScript libraries and components, most of them built in-house, either for client work or as demonstrations. The examples include StackGrid, a lightweight masonry grid in plain JavaScript, a drawing application for canvas, a method for opening only one details element at a time, and libraries for multi-select, sorting and drag-and-drop. A blog carries tutorials on JavaScript, WordPress performance and code minification.
