<h3>Performance Features</h3>
<h3>Image Optimization</h3>
<p>The intelligent image optimization algorithm radically reduces file size without suffering a loss in quality.<br />

wao.io optimizes your images by converting the original image into the best matching output format that your customer’s client is capable of rendering.</p>
<h3>Lazy Loading</h3>
<p>Using lazy loading, your images will be loaded only shortly before they are visible to the user.<br />
Preloading image placeholders in the size of the original images will prevent your site’s layout from jumping around.<br />
You decide which placeholder option integrates best in your overall webpage design</p>

WordPress sites often tend to load slowly, especially after adding more plugins. I use wao.io as cloud-based optimizer to make my blog load more quickly again. The plugin offers all the information and a link to a free test + preview option so you can check out in advance.

<p>This plugin helps make your website load much faster by reducing your image sizes up to 90%, while still keeping the same lossless quality. A significantly faster loading website will improve your SEO rankings and provide a much better experience to your customers.</p>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Free to use with no file size limit</li>
<li>Lossless compression – optimize images without losing quality</li>
<li>Compress single existing individual images</li>
<li>One-click bulk optimize your whole existing media library</li>

</ul>
<h4>How does it work?</h4>
<p>When you begin the optimization process, your images and their thumbnails are automatically sent to CompressWP’s compression servers. Your images are then analyzed and compressed in the servers, while still keeping the same lossless quality. When the images have been successfully compressed, they will be sent back to your website and replaced with the original image, which in result will use less disk space, load much faster and your visitors won’t see a difference.</p>
<h4>How to get started?</h4>
<p>Download and install the plugin. If necessary, follow the installation guide to set up your licence and configure the plugin.</p>
<p>You can either optimize individual images by clicking the “Optimize” button next to the image (it will automatically optimize the main image including the thumbnails). However, if you wish to automatically optimize all your images at once, you can click on the big green button “Bulk optimize all images” and start the process there.</p>
