Advanced WPPerformance

This plugin adds several performance improvements to your WordPress site. In contrst to other performance Plugins, this one sets focus on HTTP\2 Standards (like Server Push and SPDY). minify assets This plugin minifies all CSS and JS Files and caches them. It will not merge them into on file. This way you are still able to use conditional assets and if you are using HTTP/2, which I highly recommend, it’s not necessary to do so. Optimizes JS Delivery It moves all scripts to the footer and adds a defer attribute. This makes sure the scripts won’t block the page render process but will still be executed in the right order. In some cases, this could break inline JavaScript Optimizes CSS Delivery All CSS Files will be removed from the head and loaded asynchronously. This makes sure your CSS Files won’t delay the page rendering. To reduce the flash of unstyled content (FOUT) I recommend adding a Critical CSS. conditonal Critical CSS By default this plugin provides a textarea where you can put your critical CSS. Read more about Conditional critical CSS Critical CSS API We implemented an awesome new feature! Read more about the Critical CSS API. HTTP/2 Server Push Server push is a HTTP/2 feature that allows you to send site assets to the user before they’ve even asked for them. There are two ways to achieve this. Both have their pros and cons. So this plugin supports both, the decision is up to you. PHP While WordPress builds your site, this plugin gets all enqueued scripts and styles and adds them as a link attribute to the response headers. That way you can be certain only files are being pushed, that are actually needed. But: Since they are set while the server builds your site, this won’t work if you’re using a server caching (which I highly recommend). .htaccess The second option puts all files to push inside you .htaccess. This way they are being pushed also if you’re using server caching. But: If your assets change (new versions / depreciated scripts), don’t forget to update the .htaccess. This can be done with one click while saving the settings. Contribute A development version of this plugin is hosted on github.

HTTP/2 Server Push

HTTP/2 is the new generation of the venerable HTTP protocol that powers the web. Among its most powerful features is server push, a way for web servers to send resources to the browser before it even realizes it needs them. This avoids the usual HTTP request/response cycle which happened for every script or stylesheet on a page. This plugin enables WordPress to send a Link: rel="prefetch" header for every enqueued script and style as WordPress outputs them into the page source. Unfortunately, it can’t help plugins and themes that output their scripts directly into the page itself, but these will continue to work as they always have. Requires a web server that supports HTTP/2. WordPress 4.6 and above WordPress 4.6 introduced native support for resource hints. By default, this plugin defers to WordPress 4.6 and theme/plugin developers to responsibly prefetch the right assets. Sites running on older versions of WordPress will continue to get the previous behavior where all JavaScript and stylesheets had resource hints printed for them. I’ve added a filter To restore the old behavior (hint everything) on WordPress 4.6 and above. To use it, add this line to your theme’s functions.php file or a custom plugin: `add_filter('http2_render_resource_hints', '__return_true');```
