Questions

Is this plugin free?

Yes! This plugin is 100% free and open source.

How does this plugin improve my website’s performance?

The plugin improves your site’s loading speed by optimizing images (WebP/AVIF), reducing file sizes, and combining multiple scripts and stylesheets to limit HTTP requests. These optimizations work together to deliver a faster, more responsive site that both users and search engines love.

Will this plugin improve my Core Web Vitals scores?

Yes, in most cases. By reducing file sizes, optimizing images and using modern formats (WebP/AVIF), the plugin helps improve key Core Web Vitals metrics such as Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) and First Input Delay (FID). However, it is important to note that there are many factors that can affect your Core Web Vitals scores. This plugin is just one of the tools you can use to improve your site’s performance.

Do I need to have coding skills to use this plugin?

Not at all. The plugin is built for everyone, whether you’re just getting started with your first site or you’re a seasoned developer. You can enable optimizations with simple toggles and preset options. Advanced users can hook into WordPress filters for deeper control.

Does this plugin optimize my images automatically, and what formats are supported?

Yes. The plugin can automatically compress and convert your images to WebP or AVIF when you upload them to your Media Library. You can also choose to bulk-optimize all your existing images.

How does this plugin minify my JavaScript and CSS files?

The plugin automatically removes unnecessary characters such as whitespace, line breaks, and comments from your JavaScript and CSS files. This reduces their size without affecting functionality, allowing browsers to load them faster.

What is file concatenation, and how does it help speed up my site?

Concatenation means merging multiple JavaScript or CSS files into a single bundle. This reduces the number of HTTP requests your site makes, which helps browsers load your pages faster, especially on mobile networks or slower connections.

What are the server requirements for this plugin?

This plugin requires PHP 8.1 or higher, and WordPress 6.7 or higher to run. The image optimization feature requires GD and/or Imagick to be installed on your server.
