Introduction

Site Performance, Core Enhancements, SEO & Metadata, Performance, Site speed

JCH Optimize improves the performance of your website by performing several optimizations to the HTML page aimed at improving the Web Vitals measured by PageSpeed Insights, such as First Contentful Paint (FCP), Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), Speed Index (SI), Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS), Time to Interactive (TTI), and Total Blocking Time (TBT). These metrics attempt to quantify the quality of the user experience. JCH Optimize can improve these metrics to provide a better user experience and improve your PageSpeed scores.


Optimizations Performed By JCH Optimize

JCH Optimize optimizes your pages by automatically performing some recommended strategies offered by PageSpeed, which include:

  • Minify CSS and JavaScript files and the HTML. Unnecessary whitespaces and other characters are removed to reduce network payload sizes and script parse times.
  • Eliminate Render-Blocking Resources. Inline critical JavaScript and CSS and defer all non-critical resources to prevent resources from blocking the first paint of your page.
  • Defer offscreen images. Offscreen and hidden images are lazy-loaded after all critical resources have finished loading to lower Time To Interactive (TTI).
  • Add Width and Height attributes to images. Set an explicit width and height on image elements to reduce layout shifts and improve CLS.
  • Enable text compression. Boilerplate codes are placed in the .htaccess files at the site's directory root to instruct the server to serve text-based resources with compression (deflate or brotli) to minimize total network bytes.
  • Preload critical resources. Automatically analyzes each page to identify critical resources to load with a high priority by HTTP/2 enabled servers to improve LCP time.
  • Reduce initial server response. A Page Cache plugin is included in the package that integrates well with the JCH Optimize component and significantly reduces time-to-first-byte.

… and more.

Benefits of Using JCH Optimize

Research has confirmed that 40% of visitors will leave a website if it takes more than 4 seconds to download. Also, Google and other search engines have indicated that their ranking algorithm increasingly factors website download speed. The benefits of using JCH Optimize then include the following:

  • Improved user experience. Your users will have a pleasant experience as they browse your site.
  • Improved SEO. Your rankings in Google search pages can increase and improve organic visibility in internet searches.
  • Improved conversions. Your website revenue also increases with increased traffic volume and visitor retention.

I buy this extensión and is compatible with my web site, the performance is much better.
I bought the pro version, without understanding how better it could be! The plugin is the best! Pagespeed Insight tells that from 22/100 for mobiles, my site after installation is 67/100! Great plugin!

FA-NTA-STIC!

I wish I could describe with details this plugin, but my english are poor. I can say that this plugin is a must have for the site owners. I always wondering how to deal with gtmetrix's suggestions. But now I don't need to worry. I installed this plugin, configured it and my site goes faster. The pro-version is very cheap. And it worths it! Support is fast and kind. THANK YOU!

Indispensable

Intuitive and easy to use, significantly reduces the size of the page. The best extension of the genre. Indispensable!
Using this plugin and the excellent support I solved many tricky and hide problems of my site.



I do not have words to thank they enough!



My site now runs fast as never before! I reduced load time by three times!



The PRO version is very cheap and worth a lot!



Thanks again!

This is an excellent extension addressing key loading speed issues in a number of my joomla sites. It has improved loading speeds and overall performance of the site enormously. I had a few queries that arose in one instance and Sam dealt with them promptly providing a clear explanation and guidance that has enabled me to avoid such problems in the future. Simply excellent customer service.
Well worth the VERY small price to purchase the PRO version.

The dev has put together a very smart little plugin. Does what it says, and has enough options to handle each site's uniqueness.

My site, for example, took some TLC, but the developer stuck with it and figured out how to make it work.

My home page has now gone from 53 requests down to 23. Obviously, this speeds it up quite a bit and will also help pagerank.

Would recommend.
Initially tried the free version and saw results. So then I upgraded to the Pro Version (for $5... ) and site Speed on Gmetrix increased from a 62 up to 94 and the YSlow Grade is running at 85.



I had an issue with one tweak affecting Phoca Gallery (plugin) and question was answered with a solution within a matter of hours.



Highly Recommend
