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.

Downloaded the plugin and was surprised to find an analyser. However, it was quite useful to see if I would like to progress further with the plugin. My steps then were: Start analyser with my URL Got a 64% improvement potential Signed up Got a preview site which looked like my site Actually pretty nice to see if the plugin breaks someting. I got so many problems with other plugins that this time I was surprised that I can test before. Definetly a BONUS Preview Site looked good and was functional now it got really interesting Went full mode on – enabled ALL the features Tested the preview site again Ready to go – until here I spent 12 minutes Ended the preview mode – it´s one click Got a lot of errors on the wao.io dashboard CHanged the DNS settings (as it was advised on the dashboard) Saw all the warnings turn green Got an email that my website is going to be optimised now Success Well, I got to say the DNS change was quite a hustle but in the end, I just had to copy&paste two numbers. My website is definitely faster and I tripled my Google PageSpeed score. On webpagetest.org the results are looking even better. However, had to wait 2-3 days to see the web performance results change. The security part was instantly improved!
