Introduction

Cache, Site Performance, Core Enhancements, Performance, Site speed

Joomla has a native cache and GZIP compression system, that's a good start. Speed Cache comes over as a natural improvement of the Joomla page cache system with a lot of performance, compatibility and features enhancement.


Speed Cache brings: a powerful static page caching, compatible with user sessions, a full browser cache system, a preloading cache system and a URL inclusion cache control. Some handy tools are also part of the extension like the activation for logged in and logout users, an auto-index for caching URLs and an automatic cache cleaner on specified actions. Everything is under control from the Speed Cache dashboard.

Speed Cache performance features

  • New static cache system: generate and send more HTML static content than the Joomla cache system
  • Activate a full browser caching system: the major part of the page content is stored in the user browser, including heavy resources like images. So, even pages with a lot of content will be loaded in no time. Plus, you can automatically ask this cache to be cleaned
  • Cache automatic regeneration after cleaning: once the cache is cleaned, it can be regenerated based on a selection of pages
  • Check and fix Joomla inbuilt optimization (cache and GZIP): Check for Joomla default performance system activation
  • Fix Joomla Expire Headers: Check and fix Joomla Expire Headers problem
  • Static cache Inclusion/Exclusion by URL
  • Static cache Inclusion/Exclusion of URL set by rules
  • Speed Cache URL automatic add from new menu items
  • Import cache URL from menu: put all the pages from menu in cache
  • Cache preloading based on sitemap

Serve Joomla files faster

  • File minification system with visual configuration: minify JS, CSS, Font, HTML
  • File group: group all your JS/CSS and font files to be served faster
  • Defer CSS and JS file loading (eliminate render-blocking JavaScript and CSS)
  • Activate CDN on your website: define CDN URL and content, define CND content exclusion, force CDN relative or absolute path
  • Auto-Clear all cache on admin and frontend actions: clean cache automatically based on user actions (save, move, trash...)
  • Iframe and video lazy loading
  • Image compression is included with all extension membership, using ImageRecycle professional service
  • Image lazy loading: Lazy Load delays loading of images in long web pages. Images outside of viewport will not be loaded before user scrolls to them
  • Joomla URL inclusion and exclusion from lazy loading

Advanced Joomla speed optimization

  • Clean all cache using a button available all over Joomla admin
  • Disable all Joomla performance optimization on certain URLs
  • Import/Export extension configuration
  • Exclude module from cache using AJAX loading
  • Generate a specific cache per device (mobile, tablet, desktop) to maximize Joomla templates compatibility
  • Possibility to cache external script to get better Google page speed

Joomla's extension caching

  • All eCommerce Joomla extension compatible
  • All page builders compatible like SP Page builder and Yootheme Pro

Unsatisfactory



Posted on 05 December 2019
Functionality
There are many features, but after doing lots of tests, the performance results are worse than those obtained with free components like JotC
Ease of use
The setup is not too difficult but several tests are required. I tried all the possible combinations, with Speed Cache alone and with JCH
Support
There is no free entry version of Speed Cache, so you need to purchase it as an act of faith, without being able to do any prior test.
Documentation
Value for money
Having been the second useless purchase, I asked for the refund of at least the last one obtaining a negative answer. For me, wasted money
I used this to: I had already purchased it in 2017, and then removed it immediately after the repeated server crashes. I thought of trying it again, in order to improve the performance of my website where I use Jotcache (free) + JCH, but the results are unsatisfactory.
Functionality
Largely worked right out of the box when another popular extension didn't. Works well with our CDN
Ease of use
Pretty straight-forward if you've read a couple of articles about the issues and visited Google PageSpeed Insights.
Support
I've always had great support from this company. I've been using another extension for a long time. They've always been ready to help.
Documentation
It's good. Helps if you've read up on the issues as well.
Value for money
Excellent extension and support.
I used this to: Our world-wide nonprofit's website.

Nice component!



Posted on 28 March 2019
Functionality
Works exactly like advertised
Ease of use
Not that easy to use but it is OK
Support
Yep they respond quickly
Documentation
Value for money
Definitely worth it
Functionality
Good enough but serious disadvantage for server admin - you don't know what cache file corresponds to what page.
Ease of use
Yes, easy of use, works "out of the box"
Support
Good but seems people from support are not the actual developers.
Documentation
Enough
Value for money
Definitely worth
I used this to: Various Joomla websites to improve page loading
Functionality
Works as described and speeds are now amazing.
Ease of use
Very straight forward setup, you can't get it wrong.
Value for money
Yes, no problem at all
I used this to: Works well, there is a good feature from another user called pagebuilder pro. very nice but takes my server response time for it to 1 second. It was hurting Google rankings. Plugged this in and no more warnings for server response time. Pages load very quickly indeed, very happy.
Functionality
A very useful feature is the cache partitioning for registered and unregistered users.
Ease of use
Customizing the component is easy enough. But you need time to test everything and change settings for your site.
Support
They were interested in my problem and quickly answered questions.
Documentation
Good documentation with pictures and video.
Value for money
If you need to separate the cache for different users, then this component is definitely worth its money.
I used this to: optimizing my blog and reducing the load on the server.
Functionality
Been using this for a few months now and my sites and server are running better than ever. Many options and does not cause the issue.
Ease of use
Takes a small bit of effort to see all the options and configure them. Like any great component it's usually not one setting and your done.
Support
Very very good support. I had an issue today with the content plugin and they replied with a new version which fixed my issue 2 hours!!!
Documentation
Not sure I needed it.
Value for money
You gotta have a fast site. CMS sites are slow without caching and this has the bells and whistles needed. Finally something to rival WP!
I used this to: All my sites now have this and it's made a huge difference in the load times and server loads. It's the best.

Outstanding extension

Functionality
The Joomla optimization is something complex and they've made that simple! Follow the process, add your page to the cache, done!
Ease of use
Like I said it's really simple and it just work fine. I would like to have a clean cache button in the admin in a future version.
Support
Outstanding, just tested a pre-sale question, replied in less than an hour :) My first JoomUnited extension but not the last one for sure.
Documentation
Really complete and pedagogic.
Value for money
200% value for money. Installed on every website now
I used this to: My portfolio and an Ecommerce website for a client. I highly recommended this component.
Functionality
Could at least activate Joomla Cache efficiently on websites WITH Seblod component installed. Page cache really speed up your site !
Ease of use
Instal - Follow indication on dashboard - Add menu link - Publish some or all of them - Works !
Support
Had an issue on one website with separator menu, support find the solution, hack the file on my website in the 24 hours!
Documentation
easy to use, easy doc !
Value for money
Great !
I used this to: I use it on all my websites (15) to increase SEO and it works. Really a good way to handle your Joomla Cache and make it efficient!
Functionality
This is umbelievable but this is accelerate my website immediately. I can manage everything from one view and I adore it!
Ease of use
I am a big fan about joomunited extensions and as always no need to look documentation even if I read always documentation to use it deeply
Support
No need it
Documentation
Perfect as always
Value for money
Always worth it when your website can be more ranking
I used this to: My websites and customers websites
