<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 />
You can choose between three levels of image compression.<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>
<h3>HTTP/2 Upgrade</h3>
<p>Enabling wao.io provides an automatic HTTP/2 upgrade for your website.</p>
<h3>Caching</h3>
<p>Your content will be cached in our optimized varnish cache cluster.<br />
In your personal control center you can clear the cache whenever necessary.</p>
<h3>More Loadtime Optimization Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Head Re-ordering</li>
<li>Legacy Optimization</li>
<li>Code Minification</li>
<li>Ressource Compression</li>
</ul>
<h3>Website Security Features</h3>
<h3>HTTPS/SSL Upgrade</h3>
<p>wao.io provides an automated HTTPS/SSL upgrade for your website. Our powerful rewriting and<br />
redirecting services ensure a smooth transition from HTTP to HTTPS.</p>
<h3>Web Application Firewall</h3>
<p>Using the OWASP ModSecurity Core Rule Set (CRS) wao.io’s web application firewall provides<br />
protection against many common attack categories, including the OWASP Top Ten.<br />
The firewall will be updated periodically by our security experts.</p>
<h3>Browser Security</h3>
<p>Setting HTTP security headers with wao.io will add yet another layer of security to your website.</p>
<h3>Analytics Controll Panel</h3>
<p><strong>Insights</strong></p>
<p>wao.io provides you with all important metrics that help you understand your customers<br />
and the effectiveness of your marketing measures: unique users, sessions and bounce rate.<br />
You can also monitor the percentage of saved traffic served to your clients.</p>
<p><strong>Health</strong><br />
wao.io shows all health data of your website at a glance:<br />
Load time, page weight, and error rate.</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>Does one thing: disables WP Lazy Load feature.</p>
<p>Activate this plugin to disable the new WP Lazy Loading functionality (added in WP version 5.5). To re-enable lazy loading at any time, simply deactivate the plugin.</p>
<p><strong>Features</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Lightweight – only one line of code</li>
<li>Simple to use – activate and done</li>
<li>No permanent changes are made</li>
<li>No settings to worry about</li>
<li>Easy peasy.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Why is this useful?</strong></p>
<p>Because there are plugins that already implement lazy loading. So when upgrading to WP v5.5, there may be conflicting or redundant functionality. That’s not ideal. So with WordPress 5.5 and beyond, you can either remove your existing lazy-load solution, or more simply disable the WP-generated one. Or maybe you just don’t want lazy loading on some particular site. Whatever the reason, this plugin will do the job with a click.</p>
