What's New: 10Web Speed Optimizer, AI Builder v 2.9, Image Optimizer, & 10Web Builder

10Web Speed Optimizer

Continuous improvements to our speed optimizer are always in the works. This month we had major work done on the plugin in order to improve it’s optimization capabilities. With a special team intensively concentrated specifically on the plugin, here are some of the highlights.

Added Web Worker
We have added a Javascript Web Worker that downloads async resources in the background using a separate thread and not blocking the main browser thread. This reduces loading and blocking time and improves the PageSpeed score.

Added Delay All JS
The option to delay all JavaScript code execution before interaction has been added to the Speed Optimizer and is enabled by default for all new users. Here too, the Web Worker downloads all JavaScript files in the background and connects them to the page upon user interaction. This improves most metrics used to calculate page speed score; thus, helping to significantly speed up your websites.

Improvements to Critical CSS
We have implemented inline loading of critical CSS to apply only styles for the current screen. Additionally, the Web Worker loads all of the uncritical CSS in the background, and connects it to the page. This reduces the blocking time and increases the page speed score. This option is enabled by default for all new users.

Improvements to Cache
Critical CSS files now are separated from the rest of the cache and are automatically regenerated on certain actions like theme change or template import.

Image Optimizer

We have released a new version of the 10Web Image Optimizer for hosted websites, reducing the load on the Image Optimizer Service and increasing the speed of image optimization for hosted websites. Now images are optimized inside the website’s containers instead of being sent to the Image Optimizer Service.
