<p>JCH Optimize improves the performance of your website by performing several optimizations to the HTML page aimed at improving the Web Vitals measured by PageSpeed Insights, such as First Contentful Paint (FCP), Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), Speed Index (SI), Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS), Time to Interactive (TTI), and Total Blocking Time (TBT). These metrics attempt to quantify the quality of the user experience. JCH Optimize can improve these metrics to provide a better experience for your users and improve your PageSpeed scores.</p>
<h4>Optimizations Performed By JCH Optimize</h4>
<p>JCH Optimize optimizes your pages by automatically performing some recommended strategies offered by PageSpeed, which include:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Minify CSS and JavaScript files and the HTML.</strong> Unnecessary whitespaces and other characters are removed to reduce network payload sizes and script parse times.</li>
<li><strong>Eliminate Render-Blocking Resources.</strong> Inline critical JavaScript and CSS and defer all non-critical resources to prevent resources from blocking the first paint of your page.</li>
<li><strong>Defer offscreen images.</strong> Offscreen and hidden images are lazy-loaded after all critical resources have finished loading to lower Time To Interactive (TTI).</li>
<li><strong>Add Width and Height attributes to images.</strong> Set an explicit width and height on image elements to reduce layout shifts and improve CLS.</li>
<li><strong>Enable text compression.</strong> Boilerplate codes are placed in the .htaccess files at the site’s directory root to instruct the server to serve text-based resources with compression (deflate or brotli) to minimize total network bytes.</li>
<li><strong>Preload critical resources.</strong> Automatically analyzes each page to identify critical resources to load with a high priority by HTTP/2 enabled servers to improve LCP time.</li>
<li><strong>Reduce initial server response.</strong> A page cache feature is included in the plugin that integrates well with the other optimization features and significantly reduces time-to-first-byte.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Benefits of Using JCH Optimize</h4>
<p>Research has confirmed that 40% of visitors will leave a website if it takes more than 4 seconds to download. Also, Google and other search engines have indicated that their ranking algorithm increasingly factors website download speed. The benefits of using JCH Optimize then include:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Improved user experience.</strong> Your users will have a pleasant experience as they browse your site.</li>
<li><strong>Improved SEO.</strong> Your rankings in Google search pages can increase and improve organic visibility in internet searches.</li>
<li><strong>Improved conversions.</strong> Your website revenue also increases with increased traffic volume and visitor retention.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Pro Version available</h4>
<p>There is a pro version available with more optimization features and options and premium support with assistance to configure plugin to resolve conflicts and improve performance on our <a href="https://www.jch-optimize.net/subscribes/subscribe-wordpress/levels.html" rel="nofollow ugc">website</a>.</p>
<h4>How to use</h4>
<p>To use, first temporarily deactivate all page caching features and plugins, then use the ‘Automatic Settings’ (Minimum – Optimum) to configure the plugin. The ‘Automatic Settings’ are concerned with the combining of the CSS and javascript files, and the management of the combined files, and automatically sets the options in the ‘Automatic Settings Groups’. Use the Exclude options to exclude files or plugins that don’t work so well when combined with JCH Optimize. You can then try the other optimization features in turn such as Sprite Generator, Add Image Attributes, Lazy Load Images, CDN/Cookieless Domain, Optimize CSS Delivery, etc., based on the optimization needs of your site. Flush all your cache before re-enabling caching features and plugins.</p>

JCH Optimize

I've tryed Autoptimize and Async JavaScript alone and in a pair. all combinations failed to combine js and css and lead to js errors on my site. Only this plugin configured for "Optimum" settings does it's job with no js errors on pages or any other side effects. I'm very impressed.

It saved my day!

<h3>How does this work?</h3>
<p>The Cloudflare Image Resizing plugin for WordPress enhances your site’s speed and performance by automating image resizing using Cloudflare’s advanced technology. But how exactly does this work? Let’s simplify it.</p>
<p>Usually, when you upload an image to your WordPress site, it creates multiple sizes of the image to fit different screen sizes, which can slow down your site. This plugin eliminates that issue.</p>
<p>The plugin taps into WordPress’s image management functions and changes the final URLs of the images in your site’s HTML code. Instead of pointing to the images on your server, these URLs now point to Cloudflare’s Image Resizing service.</p>
<p>When users visit your site, they aren’t just served images. Cloudflare resizes and optimizes these images on-the-fly, ensuring they’re perfectly sized for their device, enhancing load times and user experience. All this happens behind the scenes, making your website faster without any extra effort from you!</p>
<h3>Current features</h3>

</ul>
<h3>Compatibility</h3>

</ul>
<h3>Notes</h3>
<ul>
<li>Before using this plugin please ensure <strong>you have turned ON</strong> the Cloudflare Image Resizing feature for your domain.</li>
<li>If your WordPress resides in a sub-folder, adjust the plugin settings by specifying the folder name.</li>
<li>You have the option to tweak quality settings, though it’s generally best to stick with the default configuration.</li>
<li>If images aren’t being re-written as expected, consider enabling more “hooks”. If the issue persists, feel free to open a support ticket.</li>
<li>The plugin allows for whitelisting of images sourced from platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, PayPal, etc.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Quick Guide and Tips</h3>
<h4>Checking if Cloudflare Image Resizing is Working</h4>
<p>Once you’ve activated the Cloudflare Image Resizing plugin, you might be wondering how to check if it’s doing its job. Here’s a quick way to verify:</p>
<ol>
<li>With your site open, activate the developer console in your browser. This is typically done by right-clicking on your webpage and selecting “Inspect” or “Inspect Element”.</li>
<li>In the console, navigate to the “Network” tab.</li>
<li>Reload your webpage. You should now see a list of items that are being loaded on your page. You’re interested in the images.</li>
<li>Look for any image files in this list (they’ll typically end in .jpg, .png, etc.). Click on an image to view more details.</li>
<li>Look at the URL or the response headers for that image. If you see reference to the Cloudflare Image Resizing format, it means your plugin is working correctly and your images are being optimized.</li>
</ol>
<h4>Addressing Filename Issues</h4>
<p>The Cloudflare Image Resizing plugin works by identifying the images on your site and applying optimizations. However, it can get confused if the filenames of your images are too complex or contain multiple dimensions.</p>
<p>For example, an image file named “image-100×200-100×300.jpg” might not be processed correctly. If you find that some images aren’t being resized, consider renaming these files and re-uploading them to your site. Simpler names, like “image1.jpg” or “product-shot.jpg”, are usually best.</p>
<p>Remember, the goal of image resizing is to deliver the most optimal version of an image for every user. So, it’s always a good idea to test this functionality on different devices and browsers to ensure all your users are getting the best experience possible.</p>
