Description

wao.io is a free plugin to test loading time and security of your wordpress site.

Performance Features

Image Optimization

The intelligent image optimization algorithm radically reduces file size without suffering a loss in quality.
You can choose between three levels of image compression.
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.

Lazy Loading

Using lazy loading, your images will be loaded only shortly before they are visible to the user.
Preloading image placeholders in the size of the original images will prevent your site’s layout from jumping around.
You decide which placeholder option integrates best in your overall webpage design

HTTP/2 Upgrade

Enabling wao.io provides an automatic HTTP/2 upgrade for your website.

Caching

Your content will be cached in our optimized varnish cache cluster.
In your personal control center you can clear the cache whenever necessary.

The firewall will be updated periodically by our security experts.

useful cloud-based web performance optimization

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.
