<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>

<h4>Advanced Features and Premium Support</h4>

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!

This plugin automatically performs several front end optimizations to your site to boost performance and increase PageSpeed scores.

<p><strong>Easy Optimizer</strong> is a free, all-in-one WordPress speed optimization plugin that can take the place of the 3–5 separate speed plugins most sites run today. One cache plugin. One dashboard. No premium upsells for core features. Prefer to keep your current cache plugin? You can also turn off the modules that overlap and use just the tools you want (see the FAQ).</p>
<p>Every toggle maps to a specific Google Lighthouse recommendation — enable it, save, and your Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, INP) improve immediately. Features you don’t enable never touch your page load.</p>
<h4>Core Features</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Full Page Caching:</strong> Achieve sub-millisecond TTFB with static HTML generation and separate mobile/desktop caches. Includes automatic sitemap-based preloading.</li>
<li><strong>Remove Unused CSS:</strong> Automatically strips unnecessary styles, generating a slim, per-page-type stylesheet to eliminate render-blocking resources.</li>
<li><strong>Delay & Defer JavaScript:</strong> Improve INP and reduce total blocking time by delaying script execution until user interaction, or deferring them natively.</li>
<li><strong>Smart Lazy Loading:</strong> Defers offscreen images, iframes, videos, and background images. Automatically adds missing width/height attributes to fix layout shifts.</li>
<li><strong>Automatic LCP Preload:</strong> Detects and preloads your Largest Contentful Paint image dynamically for instant visual loading.</li>
<li><strong>Prefetch Pages:</strong> Pre-fetches links as users hover over them, making your site feel like an instant single-page application.</li>
<li><strong>Font Optimization:</strong> Injects font-display: swap automatically to ensure text remains visible during webfont loads.</li>
<li><strong>Bloat Removal:</strong> 15 one-click toggles to safely remove unused WordPress core scripts and features.</li>
<li><strong>Database Cleanup & Optimization:</strong> Schedule automatic cleanups of revisions, auto-drafts, trashed posts, spam, and transients — each with a pre-cleanup snapshot so you can restore safely. The built-in Autoload Health auditor finds the heaviest options loaded on every page and lets you switch off the ones you don’t need, directly resolving the WordPress Site Health warning “Autoloaded options could affect performance.”</li>
<li><strong>Heartbeat & Cron Manager:</strong> Take control of server resources by limiting WordPress Heartbeat frequency and throttling WP-Cron execution directly from the dashboard (no <code>wp-config.php</code> edits required). View, run, or delete scheduled cron events.</li>
<li><strong>Cloudflare Integration:</strong> Automatically purge your Cloudflare edge cache (tag-based or full zone) whenever the page cache clears. Test your API connection instantly without saving credentials first.</li>
<li><strong>Hosting Integrations:</strong> Auto-detects your environment to automatically purge server-level cache on managed hosts including Kinsta, WP Engine, SiteGround, Cloudways, GridPane, RunCloud, SpinupWP, Rocket.net, and WordPress.com.</li>
<li><strong>Accessibility & SEO Fixes:</strong> Automatically resolves common Lighthouse accessibility warnings in real-time, such as missing form labels, ARIA tags, and un-crawlable links.</li>
<li><strong>PageSpeed Speed Test:</strong> Run a Google PageSpeed test right from your dashboard and see your score with and without Easy Optimizer, side by side, for both mobile and desktop. Includes Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, INP). Works out of the box with no setup, or add your own free Google API key for unlimited tests.</li>
<li><strong>Backend Analyzer:</strong> Find what slows your site down behind the scenes. Profile any page (or your admin area) on demand to see which plugins, themes, and database queries take the most time. Basically, find slow plugins and themes. Nothing runs on your real visitors, so there is no added overhead.</li>
