<p>PlugoSpeed is a WordPress performance plugin that combines <strong>page caching</strong>, asset optimization, and Core Web Vitals improvements in a single lightweight package.</p>
<p>It generates <strong>static HTML cache</strong> files served directly from disk via Apache — bypassing PHP and WordPress on cached requests. In testing on a standard VPS, this approach achieves sub-50ms TTFB and PageSpeed scores of 95/100 on desktop.</p>
<p>A React 18 dashboard provides real-time cache hit rates, bandwidth saved, and PageSpeed score tracking — no jQuery required.</p>
<h4>Core Features (Free)</h4>
<p><strong>Static HTML Cache</strong><br />
Pages are stored as static <code>.html</code> files on disk. Apache serves them directly — no PHP, no database, no WordPress bootstrap. Cache TTL is configurable (default: 24 hours).</p>
<p><strong>HTML Minification</strong><br />
Removes unnecessary whitespace and comments from the final HTML output, reducing page size without affecting content or functionality.</p>
<p><strong>CSS Minification</strong><br />
Minifies stylesheet files inline, reducing transfer size. Combine is intentionally disabled by default for HTTP/2 compatibility.</p>
<p><strong>JavaScript Defer</strong><br />
Adds <code>defer</code> to non-critical scripts, improving Time to Interactive (TTI) and Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) scores on mobile.</p>
<p><strong>Image Lazy Loading</strong><br />
Adds native <code>loading="lazy"</code> to images and iframes below the fold. Injects explicit <code>width</code> and <code>height</code> attributes to reduce Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS).</p>
<p><strong>Database Cleanup</strong><br />
Scheduled cleanup of post revisions, auto-drafts, spam comments, and expired transients. Configurable schedule: daily, weekly, or monthly.</p>
<p><strong>Cache Preloading</strong><br />
After purge, PlugoSpeed re-warms the cache automatically by walking your XML sitemap. Rate-limited to avoid server overload.</p>
<p><strong>Auto Cache Purge</strong><br />
Cache is invalidated on post save, theme change, plugin activation, and WooCommerce stock/price updates.</p>
<p><strong>PageSpeed Dashboard</strong><br />
Tracks your Google PageSpeed Insights score over time with a 30-day graph. Shows live cache hit/miss ratio, bandwidth saved, and page count.</p>
<h4>Pro Features</h4>
<p><strong>Remove Unused CSS (RUCSS)</strong><br />
Generates a per-page stylesheet containing only the CSS rules that are actually used. Eliminates render-blocking CSS from page builders and plugin stylesheets. Requires a PlugoPress API key.</p>
<p><strong>Critical CSS</strong><br />
Inlines the above-the-fold CSS directly in <code><head></code>, eliminating render-blocking for a faster LCP. Requires a PlugoPress API key.</p>
<p><strong>WebP Image Serving</strong><br />
Automatically serves <code>.webp</code> versions of images to supported browsers, reducing image payload by 25–35% without quality loss.</p>
