<p><em>Easy PageSpeed</em> is a simple and efficient plugin desgined to do just two things:</p>
<ol>
<li>Serve your static resources (files of types) from the Content Delivery Network (CDN) that  you specify. Using a CDN can improve the performance of your blog significantly.</li>
<li>Remove the query strings that WordPress adds to your static files (indicating the WP version). The existence of the query string on a file directs the web browsers not to cache it, which may adversely affect the blog performance.</li>
</ol>
<p>Both these functionalities are available on most caching plugins, such as WP Super Cache or W3 Total Cache. If you use any of them, you may not need to use <em>Easy PageSpeed</em>. However, if you have a high performance web server, a caching plugin may be an overkill, and most of the performance boosts may be gleaned by this simple <em>Easy PageSpeed</em> plugin, and a good PHP accelerator at the server level.</p>
<h4>Pro Version</h4>
<p>In addition to the fully functional Lite version, <em>Easy PageSpeed</em>  also has a <a href="http://buy.thulasidas.com/easy-pagespeed" title="Easy PageSpeed -- simple page speed tool, $6.95" rel="nofollow ugc">Pro version</a>, which gives you more control over how your CDN servers are used, with these extra features:</p>
<ol>
<li>Supports multiple CDNs, for load balancing or parallel loading (domain sharding), as recommended by most page speed tools.</li>
<li>Allows customization the file types to be served from CDNs.</li>
<li>Multiple groups of CDNs, each with their own file types, so that you can serve, for example, images from <code>http://img.example.com</code> and style sheets from <code>http://css.example.com</code> and so on.</li>
</ol>


Easy PageSpeed

I wrote this plugin for my own use. I just needed to rewrite the URLs of static resources using my CDN servers, and get rid of the query strings on js and css files. Nothing fancy. This plugin does just that, and adds only a couple of milliseconds to the processing time. Hope you will find it useful.

Easy PageSpeed rewrites the URLs on your blog to serve your static resources from your CDN. It also removes query strings to leverage browser caching.

<p>The URL Params WordPress Plugin allows you to access URL parameters in the Query String of the URL.</p>
<p>The plugin even allows you to specify a default value in the shortcode if the parameter isn’t set, so if you want to say “Hello, FirstName” and FirstName isn’t set, it could say something like “Hello, Friend!”</p>
<p>To specify a backup url parameter, enter multiple parameters seperated by commas. The plugin will check for each parameter, in order, until a matching one is found and return that. Failing finding any of the parameters you listed, the default will be returned. For example, you can specify <code>[urlparam param="FirstName, First, name" default="Friend" /]</code> to check for FirstName, and if not found, then First, if not found, then name, and if not, then just return “Friend”.</p>
<p>If the parameter is a date, you can also specify the <code>dateformat</code> option using a <a href="http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php" rel="nofollow ugc">PHP friendly date format</a>, for example <code>[urlparam param="somedate" dateformat="F Js" /]</code>. Note that PHP only returns dates formatted in English regardless of locale settings.</p>
<p>This is great if you have personalized links, like from Infusionsoft or Keap, as it lets you personalize a landing page with a persons name.</p>
<p>You can also use this to pre-fill out form fields for folks based on the querystring. For example, if their first name is passed in the URL, your landing page can greet the viewer by name and pre-fill their name on a form.</p>
<h3>Usage</h3>
<p>Use the shortcode urlparam with the optional parameter of “default”. For example <code>[urlparam param="FirstName" /]</code> or <code>[urlparam param="FirstName" default="Friend"/]</code>.</p>
<p>For conditional content use <code>[ifurlparam][/ifurlparam]</code>. For example, <code>[ifurlparam param="FirstName"]Hey, I know you, [urlparam param="FirstName"]![/ifurlparam]</code> would greet known visitors, but display nothing to users without a FirstName in the query string.</p>
<p>If you want to show content when a value does NOT exist, you can set <code>empty</code> in <code>[ifurlparam]</code>. For example <code>[ifurlparam param="FirstName" empty="1"]Welcome to the site, visitor![/ifurlparam]</code> would greet visitors without a FirstName in the query string, but display nothing for visitors with FirstName in the query string.</p>
<p>If you want to show content only to visitors with a specific value in their query string, you can set <code>is</code> in <code>[ifurlparam]</code>. For example, <code>[ifurlparam param="FirstName" is="Bob"]Hi, Bob![/ifurlparam]</code>, would only greet visitors with the FirstName param set to Bob.</p>
<p>If you want to have urlparam return an HTML attribute, for example to use in pre-setting the value of input or hidden input fields, pass in the optional <code>attr</code> parameter. You might set a value attribute for an input field like so: <code><input type="text" name="firstname" [urlparam attr="value" param='FirstName']></code> or you might set a src attribute for an image tag like so: <code><img [urlparam attr="src" param='imgurl']></code></p>
<p>If you want urlparam to return an entire HTML tag, for example in creating an input field, pass in the optional <code>htmltag</code> parameter. For example, <code>[urlparam htmltag="input" type="text" name="firstname" id="first" attr="value" param="FirstName" default="Bob" /]</code> will produce something like <code><input type="text" name="firstname" id="first" value="Bob" /></code></p>
<h3>Security</h3>
<p>To help protect your site against <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-site_scripting" rel="nofollow ugc">Reflected Cross Site Scripting</a>, we sanitize output with <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/esc_html" rel="nofollow ugc">esc_html()</a> which prevents any HTML tags from being passed in and displayed. This would prevent someone from passing in javascript, for example, and having it execute on your site.</p>
<p>Starting in the <a href="https://make.wordpress.org/core/2015/07/23/changes-to-the-shortcode-api/" rel="nofollow ugc">WordPress 4.2.3 security auto-update</a>, you can no longer include shortcodes in HTML attributes. Previous to this WordPress update, you could set a field value like this: <code><input type="text" name="firstname" value="[urlparam param='FirstName']"></code>. Now you have to set it like this: <code><input type="text" name="firstname" [urlparam attr="value" param='FirstName']></code> or  <code>[urlparam htmltag="input" type="text" name="firstname" attr="value" param="FirstName" /]</code>. If you are still using this shortcode the old way, unfortunately, WordPress simply won’t process the shortcode and will return the full shortcode text unprocessed.</p>
<p>To prevent unprivileged users (like Contributors) from using this shortcode to have privileged users (like Admins) accidentally execute arbitrary javascript via HTML attributes (like <code>onclick</code>, <code>onmouseover</code>, etc), html tags and attributes are sanitized.</p>
<p>If you do need have a need to set certain sanitized tags or attributes, at your own risk, you can manually allow these from the URL Params options page under Settings.</p>

Thanks for making this a great free option!


Love the advanced features

Short Code to grab any URL parameter from the Query String and display it or display conditional content.
