This will help Google and other search engines to rank your site higher in search results thus sending more traffic. Speed Booster Pack is maintained & operated by Optimocha, a company that offers special speed optimization services filled with people who obsess about speed! Benefits of Speed Booster Pack Each second of delay can cause up to 20% loss in conversion rates (source: Google). “Conversion” means converting visitors to something more than a “visitor”: leads, customers, subscribers, followers… you name it. You might lose more than half of your visitors if your website loads slower than three seconds! (source: Google again) More than half of your potential customers might get back to the search results page and navigate to your competitor. This is a huge problem, and it’s hugely overlooked among other SEO-related concerns. People don’t realize how important speed is, in the eyes of search engines. That’s where Speed Booster Pack comes in: With its ever-evolving codebase, Speed Booster Pack aims to increase your site performance, page load times and PageSpeed (Lighthouse) scores! Optimocha, the company behind Speed Booster Pack, has a team with a pathological obsession for speed; so you can be sure that your site will be in good hands. How to optimize PageSpeed Core Web Vitals metrics with Speed Booster Pack With our huge set of features, of course! ⭐ Core Web Vitals: Speed Booster Pack is made to improve your Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), Interaction to Next Paint (INP) and Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) metrics, which are also known together as Core Web Vitals. (The First Input Delay (FID) metric is being replaced by INP, but Speed Booster Pack also improves FID and its lab counterpart, Total Blocking Time (TBT).) With the right configuration, you can get your PageSpeed scores higher than ever! ⭐ Caching: Cache your pages into static HTML files, reduce database queries, get a faster website almost immediately. What’s not to love about caching? ⭐ Optimize Google Fonts: Did you know that there are better ways to load Google fonts? We like to brag about finding one of the best ways. ⭐ Lazy Load: It’s a disheartening issue that page speed tools encourage laziness… Just kidding, we love being lazy. And search engines will love your pages when you enable lazy loading for images, videos and iframes (except for the above-the-fold stuff, trust us). ⭐ Optimize JavaScript: You know that totally-not-cryptic “Remove Render-Blocking JavaScript” recommendation? Speed Booster Pack can help defer them all until after the whole HTML is rendered, or at least move all scripts to footer. Works like a charm. ⭐ Optimize CSS: Who needs all those different CSS files when you can inline them all into your page source? Especially when your CSS footprint is so small? Moreover, you can use the “Critical CSS” feature to essentially lazy-load all your CSS except for the CSS for above-the-fold. ⭐ Preload Assets: Have some fonts that load in all your pages, or a script, or some CSS files? Preloading them will help modern browsers serve your pages way faster! ⭐ WooCommerce Optimizations: Disable cart fragments, change Action Scheduler’s retention period, disable things like WooCommerce Marketing and WooCommerce Analytics… and more to come! ⭐ Dequeue Core Scripts/Styles: Dashicons, jQuery Migrate, emoji script, post embed script… If you don’t need them, you can now choose to prevent them from loading in the first place… which can get you to the first place on your Google SERPs. ⭐ Localize Google Analytics & Tag Manager: Tracker scripts aren’t the worst things that’ll slow your pages down, but they cause the most “recommendations”. Localizing Google Analytics and/or Google Tag Manager is a good idea to speed up your website then, right? Right? ⭐ Enable CDN: Integrate your content delivery network to your website by rewriting all static asset URLs with your CDN domain. ⭐ Cloudflare & Sucuri Integration: Connect to your Cloudflare or Sucuri account so you can clear your cache every time your page cache is cleared. ⭐ Declutter HEAD: Do you think all that useless junk in your should be gone? Us too! You know what they say: A clear works faster. ⭐ Other Features: Minify HTML, enable instant.page, trim query strings, disable self pingbacks, optimize the Heartbeat API, set a limit for post revisions, change autosave interval… Did we forget anything?

THIS PLUGIN IS STILL EXPERIMENTAL – USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! The plugin is under development. Please try it and contact me if you encounter any bugs or have any questions or suggestions. If you want to help me develop this further send a pull request on GitHub. The plugin is not ready for production yet, but I will soon release version 0.1 that will be production ready. WP-PJAX – PJAX for WordPress Plugin. Makes your site faster and saves you a lot of bandwidth and CPU power by making your WordPress site PJAX powered! What is PJAX? PJAX is a technique that uses AJAX and PushState to deliver a faster browsing experience by only loading and updating parts of the page HTML each page load. PushState makes it possible to add real permalinks, page titles, and a working back button so that your visitors won’t be able to tell the difference between PJAX page load and ordinary full page loads, except for the increased speed of course :). Why PJAX? It makes your site significantly faster in most cases and saves you both processing power and bandwidth! Features Speeds up any website. With the built in page cache enabled you can expect 10-50+% faster page loads. Supports 4 Levels of application cache! This plugin uses browser cache and page cache. It is also enabling reverse proxy(i.e. Varnish) cache by (optionally) striping sessions and cookies and it works very well with underlaying object and database cache using third party cache plugins such as W3 Total Cache (recommended). Works well with W3 Total Cache. Configurable. No need to dig into the code. You will still need basic knowledge about HTML and how WordPress works to make this plugin reach it’s full potential. Live notices with a report for every page load (Load time, page cache hit or miss, Reverse proxy/Varnish cache miss or hit etc – See screenshot). This is great for debugging and testing and is of course only visible for admins. Only a few changes in your theme and you are ready to go. Should not take more than 5 minutes and requires only basic knowledge. Browser support PJAX is not supported in Internet Explorer 9 and earlier(IE 10+ supports this), but the plugin handles this gracefully by falling back on regular page loads for unsupported browsers. Details on browser support Development All development of this plugin occurs on GitHub. Please help me develop this by forking and sending pull requests. Planned features / To-Do Better handling of menu active classes. Will probably use regex for this. Support for marking parent pages active would be nice but I don’t know any good ways to accomplish that. Better control over exceptions for when to disable PJAX, when you use Page cache, and when and what cookies and sessions that should be striped. Regex support will be added. Refresh cache on publish/update. Separate loading of sidebars with separate cache. Page loading notice / icon. This should also be customizable with css, text(localizable) and it should be possible to upload your own icon. Page cache prefetch needs to be revisited. WP-Cron is a bit tricky and its hard to handle timeouts gracefully and reliably cross different environments. Remove all debug code and general code cleanup. This will be finished before the 0.1 release. Add an optional menu to the admin bar for clearing cache(all and current page). Optimize execution flow for better performance Maybe: Better way to generate the configurable javascript. I think of two options for this, ether use wp_localize_script to inject variables into javascript or to generate a javascript with PHP file when settings are saved. Known issues The PJAX toggle checkbox does not work. $.pjax.disable() does not seam to work as it should. Maybe I need to set a cookie with AJAX to set this for the current user and then handle it on the server side. Development All development of this plugin occurs on GitHub.
