This plugin allows your WordPress blog to output pages compressed in gzip 
format if a browser supports compression.
HTTP compression generally means a 60-80% REDUCTION in the size of your pages 
(broadband usage) as well as an INCREASE in download speeds of 3x to 4x.
To test if your blog is using compression use the following link:
http://ismyblogworking.com/
Check “Page GZip” on the right hand size. 
Check “Bandwidth saved by compression” on the left hand side.
NOTE: This plugin should not be used alongside WP Super Cache or WP Cache 
since those plugins are already implementing compression. Your blog 
will keep working but those plugins will stop caching new pages.
RECENT NEWS – 20 March 2010:
Its been reported by a user that there is a conflict 
using WP HTTP Compression together with Google Analytics Plugin (3.2.5). I’ll 
to look into this and release a patch for next release. 
Note that this conflict is NOT with Google Analytics itself but with 
the PLUGIN. Google Analytics scripts and stat collection have been tested 
and work fine with the WP HTTP Compression plugin.

WPO Tweaks is the most complete performance optimization plugin for WordPress. It combines the best WPO (Web Performance Optimization) practices in a single easy-to-use tool. No configuration needed: activate and enjoy a faster WordPress.
By default, WordPress loads several functions, services and scripts that are not mandatory and usually slow down your installation and consume hosting resources. For years I have been testing tweaks to save hosting resources and improve WordPress performance and loading times. After thousands of tests, this plugin includes my best speed and performance optimizations with a single click.
With this plugin you can safely disable those annoying services, unnecessary codes and scripts to save resources and hosting costs, and speed up WordPress to get better results in tools like Google PageSpeed, Pingdom Tools, GTMetrix, WebPageTest and others.

<h3>HOW TO VERIFY OPTIMIZATIONS ARE WORKING</h3>
You can check each optimization individually to ensure WPO Tweaks is working correctly:
Missing Image Dimensions: Inspect images in your browser (F12 > Elements). Images should have <code>width="X"</code> and <code>height="Y"</code> attributes even if they weren’t originally coded with dimensions.
Critical CSS: View page source (Ctrl+U) and look for <code><style id="ayudawp-wpotweaks-critical-css"></code> in the head section containing basic CSS rules.
Deferred CSS: In source code, look for <code><link></code> tags with <code>rel="preload" as="style"</code> instead of <code>rel="stylesheet"</code>, followed by <code><noscript></code> fallbacks.
Google Fonts Optimization: Google Fonts URLs should include <code>&display=swap</code> parameter.
Preconnect: Look for <code><link rel="preconnect"></code> tags in the head pointing to fonts.googleapis.com, fonts.gstatic.com, etc.
DNS Prefetch: Check for <code><link rel="dns-prefetch"></code> tags pointing to external domains like gravatar.com, stats.wp.com.
Lazy Loading: Inspect images (F12) – they should have <code>loading="lazy"</code> and <code>decoding="async"</code> attributes.
Resource Preload: Look for <code><link rel="preload"></code> tags for your theme’s CSS and critical fonts.
Version Removal: Source code should NOT contain <code><meta name="generator" content="WordPress X.X"></code> or <code>?ver=</code> in script/style URLs.
Dashicons Removal: When logged out, source code should NOT include <code>dashicons.min.css</code>. When logged in, it should appear.
Emojis Removal: Source code should NOT contain <code>wp-emoji-release.min.js</code> or emoji-related styles.
Header Cleanup: Source code should NOT contain <code><link rel="EditURI"></code>, <code><link rel="wlwmanifest"></code>, or <code><link rel="shortlink"></code>.
JavaScript Defer: Most <code><script></code> tags (except jQuery) should include the <code>defer</code> attribute.
GZIP Compression: Test at <a href="https://www.giftofspeed.com/gzip-test/" rel="nofollow ugc">giftofspeed.com/gzip-test</a> – should show “GZIP is enabled”.
Cache Headers: Check your <code>.htaccess</code> file for a section marked “BEGIN WPO Tweaks by Fernando Tellado” with expiration rules.
Heartbeat Control: In WordPress Dashboard, open browser dev tools (F12) > Network tab. AJAX requests to <code>admin-ajax.php</code> with <code>action=heartbeat</code> should occur every 60 seconds instead of 15.
Use tools like Google PageSpeed, GTMetrix, Pingdom Tools, and WebPageTest to measure overall performance improvements. Always test twice to account for caching effects.
<h3>COMPATIBILITY AND EXTENSIBILITY</h3>
The plugin includes multiple filters for developers: 
* <code>ayudawp_wpotweaks_critical_css</code> – Customize critical CSS 
* <code>ayudawp_wpotweaks_preconnect_hints</code> – Add custom preconnect 
* <code>ayudawp_wpotweaks_dns_prefetch_domains</code> – Customize DNS prefetch domains 
* <code>ayudawp_wpotweaks_critical_fonts</code> – Define critical fonts for preload 
* <code>ayudawp_wpotweaks_keep_xmlrpc</code> – Keep XML-RPC if needed 
* <code>ayudawp_wpotweaks_keep_feeds</code> – Control feeds removal

<h3>INSTALLATION AND USE</h3>
No options. Just activate the plugin and test your site speed in your favorite tool (GTMetrix, Pingdom Tools, Google PageSpeed, etc.)
The plugin is completely automatic and applies optimizations safely without breaking functionality.
<h3>MEASURING RESULTS</h3>
Recommended tools: 
* <a href="https://pagespeed.web.dev/" rel="nofollow ugc">Google PageSpeed Insights</a> 
* <a href="https://gtmetrix.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">GTMetrix</a> 
* <a href="https://www.webpagetest.org/" rel="nofollow ugc">WebPageTest</a>
Best measurement practices: 
* Run at least 2 tests (first one may not show cache) 
* Always use the same tool for comparison 
* Measure performance over time, not just once 
* Remember that no tool can replace human perception
