View New Optimization Plugins

We advise to use the new plugins for access to the latest optimization technologies and long term support. While the plugins are in beta, they are already stable for most websites and with your help (reporting issues, requesting features) the plugins will become a stable tool that can provide the best website performance result, even better than custom CMS based websites dedicated to performance!

Advanced website optimization reduced to simple JSON

While our new plugins are even more difficult to use than this plugin, the JSON schema based configuration concept enables full control of the optimization using a simple JSON document. You can now quickly copy and paste your JSON optimization configuration on a forum and ask for expert advise that will eventually benefit a lot of users and that will also improve public knowledge about website performance optimization.

March, 27th 2018: A beta version of the new PWA Optimization plugin is available.

The new PWA optimization plugin is installed on www.e-scooter.co. The new plugin uses a background Web Worker innovation which proves to provide exceptional results by being able to instantly abort tasks (e.g. fetching resources, cache management etc.) when a user wants to navigate, enabling the service worker to be ready to perform at all times. There is still room for improvement, in a next update the background worker will provide streaming functionality to enable aborting naviation related fetch requests, making the Service Worker's capacity instantly 100% available for new navigation requests.

Note: We noticed that since the past updates of our new plugins many users of the Security Header Optimization plugin uninstalled the plugin. Regrettably they did not inform us about an issue and we couldn't find a possible cause.

If you find an issue with our new beta plugins, please be so kind to inform us so that other users can benefit. We prefer a Github issue but you may also contact us by email at info@optimization.team.

Roadmap to achieve a Google PageSpeed 100 score

Step 1 - check the state of your website

Before you start using this plugin: test your website for problems and create a priority list with the issues that need to be resolved. This plugin offers access to several tests from the PageSpeed menu in the top admin bar.

Google Full Spectrum Test Google PageSpeed Test Google Mobile Test Securi Server Response Time WebPageTest.org GTmetrix SecurityHeaders.io SSL test DNS test

Tip: If you can resolve small issues fast, start with the smaller issues, it may help to resolve the larger issues.

Step 2 - server optimization

Start with the fundament of your website: the server. Make sure that the best gzip settings and HTTP cache headers are installed and if the server is slow, find ways to improve the speed of the server by optimizing WordPress plugins or by using a full page cache solution. It may be required to choose a better hosting plan or to move to a different hosting provider. Hosting reliability and performance is a major aspect for achieving a good performance and stability reputation in Google. Once you lose a stable hosting reputation, it may cause a hidden penalty and you may not get your reputation back for years.

Choose professional server configuration over WordPress plugins to achieve the best performance.

Google officially advises a maximum server response time of 0,2 seconds (200ms). Test your global server response times here.

Tip: Find out what exactly you need and write a single detailed request to your hosting provider for professional installation. If the server has a speed issue, simply ask your host to achieve a maximum server speed of 0,2 seconds (200ms) as advised by Google.

Step 3 - Google PageSpeed optimization

Test your website at Google PageSpeed Insights and start resolving the issues. Google offers detailed documentation for each issue and this plugin offers the tools to resolve most issues.

Step 4 - setup a website monitor

Once the performance and quality of your website has achieved a perfect state, it is required to maintain it to achieve an optimal reliability, quality and performance reputation in Google. Go to the Monitor tab for information about website monitoring tools.
