BoltAudit AI vs Quicklink for WordPress

Speed up your WordPress site with AI. BoltAudit looks at your site the way a senior performance engineer would, tells you exactly what is slowing it down, and offers one click fixes for the most common problems. Most speed plugins hand you a long checklist and ask you to figure it out. BoltAudit is different. It looks at your real site data, picks the single biggest reason your site is slow, and explains the fix in plain English. No theory, no guessing. Why your site is slow Slow WordPress sites usually fall into one of four areas: What visitors see and download (images, fonts, scripts, page weight) What WordPress is doing on the server (plugins, hooks, request time) What is in your database (table size, old data, query load) Where your site is hosted (hosting tier, caching, network) Most performance plugins try to do everything at once and fix nothing. BoltAudit looks at all four areas at the same time and tells you which one is actually hurting you the most. Then it gives you a ranked action plan to fix that area first. One click fixes that you do not need to be a developer to apply When you connect your site to BoltAudit, eligible findings come with a one click apply button. You see what is about to change, confirm it, and BoltAudit makes the change for you. Reversible fixes can be undone in one click for the next 30 days. This works with the cache plugin you already have installed. WP Rocket, LiteSpeed Cache, W3 Total Cache, WP Super Cache, WP Fastest Cache, and Autoptimize are all supported. If you do not have one, BoltAudit will tell you what is worth installing. How AI Audit is different One verdict, not a checklist. Every audit picks the single biggest reason your site is slow. The fixes for that area are ranked first. Plain English explanations. Every finding tells you what it is, why it matters, and what to do, in language anyone can act on. Evidence behind every finding. Numbers, plugin names, and concrete measurements. No “consider optimizing your assets” non advice. Honest about confidence. When a security plugin or firewall blocks a measurement, BoltAudit says so and lowers the report confidence instead of guessing. Mobile aware. On Pro plans, BoltAudit translates Core Web Vitals into estimated mobile bounce and conversion impact. Faster site, better SEO, more conversions Google ranks faster sites higher. Visitors leave slow sites. A faster WordPress site means: Better Core Web Vitals scores (LCP, INP, CLS) Higher Google search ranking Lower bounce rate More mobile conversions Less abandoned WooCommerce carts Lower hosting costs (servers do less work) Built for WooCommerce stores If you run a WooCommerce store, you probably already know slow checkout costs money. BoltAudit understands stores. It looks at the things that actually matter for an online store: how long checkout takes, what your payment and shipping plugins are doing on every page, how your product pages render on mobile, and whether your background jobs are stuck. The fixes are sized for store owners, not just developers. Run a free local audit, no account needed The Local Audit runs entirely inside your WordPress admin. No data leaves your site. No account.

Quicklink for WordPress attempts to make navigation to subsequent pages load faster. Embedded with the plugin is a javascript library, which detects links in the viewport, waits until the browser is idle and prefetches the URLs for these links. The library also tries to detect, if the user is on a slow connection or on a data plan. This plugin builds heavily on the amazing work done by Google Chrome Labs. More information about Quicklink on the official Website. How it works Detects links within the viewport (using Intersection Observer) Waits until the browser is idle (using requestIdleCallback) Checks if the user isn’t on a slow connection (using navigator.connection.effectiveType) or has data-saver enabled (using navigator.connection.saveData) Prefetches URLs to the links (using or XHR). Provides some control over the request priority (can switch to fetch() if supported). If you are a developer, we encourage you to follow along or contribute to the development of this plugin on GitHub.
