Overview

Autoptimize is a powerful WordPress plugin designed to simplify the process of optimizing your website's performance. It achieves this by aggregating, minifying, and caching scripts and styles, injecting CSS into the page head, inlining critical CSS, and deferring the aggregated full CSS to improve load times. The plugin also moves and defers scripts to the footer, minimizes HTML, and provides extensive image optimization capabilities, supporting formats like WebP and AVIF. Additionally, it optimizes Google Fonts, asynchronously handles non-aggregated JavaScript, and eliminates unnecessary WordPress core elements such as emojis. With a robust API for customization, Autoptimize can be tailored to suit the specific needs of any website. For those seeking even greater performance enhancements, Autoptimize Pro offers advanced features including CDN integration, comprehensive image optimization, page caching, and automatic critical CSS rules. Premium support and web performance optimization services are also available through Accelera.
