These are already in the core and work from the moment you install.

Caching and performance
Caches templates and query results, and bundles CSS and JS. Choose file cache or Redis.
Security

Operations tools
Clean up core files, import data, run job queues and check the server environment from the admin panel.
Keep using what you already have
zittme carries on from Rhymix. It is a fork of Rhymix and stands on a lineage that began with Zeroboard and ran through ZBXE and Rhymix. Thanks to code that has lasted 20 years and the people who kept it going, we did not have to start from scratch.
That is why Rhymix modules and skins work as they are, and you can bring your existing resources with you. We plan to keep following and matching improvements in the Rhymix core. The license is the same GPL v2.
