Performance Optimisation helps you speed up your site with cache management, JavaScript and CSS minification, image conversion (WebP and AVIF), lazy loading, preload hints, and a modern admin UI. It is designed to stay off by default for aggressive options (defer/delay JS, WooCommerce asset removal, server rules) so you can enable features gradually and test as you go—similar to how you would tune Autoptimize or a caching stack, but with a focused, dashboard-first workflow.
Why use this plugin?
<ul>

<li>Safety-first UX: Advanced toggles show warnings; WooCommerce-related options remind you to test cart and checkout.</li>
<li>Core Web Vitals & PageSpeed: Lazy loading, minification, preconnect/prefetch, and image formats help real-world metrics—not just a higher score on a single lab test.</li>

JPG, PNG Compression and Optimization

Awesome compression with no loss of quality, just install and go, all new images are automatically compressed and resized on upload if needed

Compression and Quality

I love the fact that I can even upload a huge image (from Unsplash for example) and have the plugin resize AND compress.

Update: Even at "best quality" setting, it still manages to beat TinyPNG. This really saves me A LOT of time, I no longer have to put all my images for each project through the TinyPNG webservice anymore.

Thank you for creating this awesome plugin!

Huge time and resources saver!
