Optimazz – Website Optimization and Speedup

Optimazz is an all-in-one performance suite that applies the optimizations with the biggest impact on Core Web Vitals — automatically and safely. Every module is opt-in and reversible, and Optimazz never overwrites another caching plugin’s files.

Modules included:

• Page Cache — serve static HTML instead of running PHP on every request, with smart exclusions (logged-in users, carts, query strings), automatic purging on content changes, and a cron-based cache preloader so visitors never hit a cold page.

• JavaScript — defer scripts and delay them until the first user interaction to cut Total Blocking Time, with an exclusion list.

• CSS — minify, combine, and load CSS asynchronously to remove render-blocking stylesheets.

• HTML — minify the page HTML (extra whitespace and comments), without changing how it looks.

• Image Optimization — lazy-load images, iframes and videos, add missing dimensions to prevent layout shift, generate and serve WebP/AVIF, bulk-compress your existing library, convert opaque PNGs to JPEG, and replace YouTube embeds with a click-to-load preview.

• Fonts — add font-display: swap, preconnect to font hosts, and preload font files.

• Database — clean revisions, auto-drafts, trashed posts, spam/trashed comments and expired transients, optimize tables, and schedule automatic cleanups.

• Heartbeat — reduce or disable the WordPress Heartbeat API per context to lower server load.

• Tweaks — disable emojis, embeds, dashicons, query strings, XML-RPC and pingbacks, and add DNS-prefetch / preconnect hints.

• CDN — rewrite static asset URLs to your CDN hostname.

A live performance score on the dashboard shows which optimizations are active and your biggest remaining win.

No limits

Every feature works on every page, for every visitor, at no cost: no page-view cap, no “powered by” banner on your site, no account to create, and no cloud service. All optimization runs on your own server.

Compatibility

• Page builders — Elementor (and Elementor Pro, ElementsKit), Divi, Bricks, Beaver Builder, Oxygen and WPBakery. Their generated CSS is never minified or combined and their layout scripts are never delayed, so CSS and JavaScript optimization stay safe on builder sites. Swiper carousels and the Instagram Widget by WPZOOM are protected too.

• WooCommerce — cart, checkout and account pages are never cached, a visitor with items in the cart never gets a cached page, and checkout and payment scripts (Stripe, PayPal, Braintree, Square, Klarna, Razorpay) are never delayed. WooCommerce and Easy Digital Downloads styles can be loaded only on their own pages.

• Third-party scripts — Google Analytics, Tag Manager and AdSense, the Meta pixel, TikTok, X, LinkedIn, Snapchat and Pinterest pixels, Hotjar, Microsoft Clarity, Mixpanel, Matomo, HubSpot, OneSignal and chat widgets (Tawk.to, Crisp, Intercom, Tidio, LiveChat, Zendesk, Drift, Freshchat, JivoChat, Smartsupp, OpenWidget, Small Chat) are delayed until the visitor interacts, when JavaScript delay is on.

• Jetpack — WordPress core styles served by Jetpack’s Site Accelerator are minified and combined like local files.

• Multisite — subdirectory and subdomain networks, with a separate cache per site and network settings in Network Admin → Optimazz.

• Multilingual and multi-currency sites — languages in the address ( /de/, de.example.com, WPML, Polylang, TranslatePress) are cached separately. If your language or currency switcher uses a cookie instead, add that cookie under Advanced Rules → “Never cache when these cookies are set”.

• Servers — the page cache works on Apache, LiteSpeed, OpenLiteSpeed and Nginx. Browser-cache rules are written to.htaccess (Apache and LiteSpeed); on Nginx add them to your server configuration. Works behind Cloudflare and other proxies or load balancers.

• Firewalls and security plugins — the cache preloader uses the user agent Optimazz-CacheWarmer, which passes 6G/7G firewall rules (All-In-One Security, many hosts). If preloading reports 403 errors, allow-list that user agent in your firewall or Wordfence.

• Other caching plugins — Optimazz detects WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, WP Super Cache, LiteSpeed Cache, WP Fastest Cache, Breeze, Cache Enabler, Comet Cache, Surge, SiteGround Optimizer, Hummingbird, Swift Performance, Seraphinite Accelerator, FlyingPress, WP-Optimize and NitroPack, never overwrites their files, and warns you when one of them is blocking the Optimazz page cache. Use one page cache at a time.

• WP-CLI — wp optimazz commands (see the FAQ).

Build process and source code

The admin interface is a React application. scss ), and the compiled, minified output lives in build/.

To regenerate the compiled files from source:

• Install dependencies: npm install

• Build: npm run build

This uses the official @wordpress/scripts (webpack) toolchain — no custom or hidden build configuration. All source and build tooling are included in the plugin; nothing is obfuscated.

External services

Optimazz does not require any external service to function, and it works entirely on your own server by default. Two optional, admin-controlled features can reference third-party hosts:

-

Google Fonts optimization (Fonts module). com and can add display=swap to the existing font URL. Optimazz does not add Google Fonts to a site that isn’t already using them, and it does not send any personal or site data — a preconnect is only a browser hint to open a connection earlier.

com/privacy

-

CDN rewriting (CDN module). If you enable the CDN module and enter a CDN hostname, Optimazz rewrites the URLs of your own static assets (CSS, JS, images) to that hostname so visitors’ browsers load them from your CDN. The CDN is a service you choose and configure; Optimazz sends no data to it itself and is not affiliated with any CDN provider.

Consult your chosen CDN’s own terms and privacy policy.

Both features are off by default and take effect only after you explicitly enable them.
