Why speed up your website?

In the first place you should have your users in mind: especially in mobile surfing you may loose visitors if your pages take too long to render. With a fast site you increase usability.

Besides that benefit, your website's page speed is one of the many criteria search engines take into account for ranking. So an optimized website may get a better position in search engine result pages (SERPs) and win more visitors this way.

Both may lead to higher conversions and increases your website's success.

How to speed up your website?

There are many options and factors that influence the pagespeed:

Configure Joomla! itself well. For example: disable unused plugins, enable server side caching, ...
Keep your installation up to date as updates often include optimizations of code.
Optimize CSS, JavaScript and HTML code and enable caching and compression in your .htaccess file.
Host your site on a server that performs well
Use PHP 8
Optimize image loading
Optimize images where possible, that is to
- resize images to the actual size needed
- compress them (i.e. using jpeg-recompress)
- use modern formats like Google's WebP image format

With Aimy Speed Optimization code optimizations, caching and compression as well as image loading can be activated within a few minutes to increase performance easily.

Excellent page speed solution

Does what it says on the tin. A slight con is that you can only skip optimisation at a page level but other than that a really good product

Ease of use

Very easy to use and understand. There are only a few options to configure so it is test which options work best.

Support

Support is first rate. Very helpful and responsive. It is helpful that you talk directly to the developers.

Documentation

I used this to: render blocking, and its NOT WORKING, NO REFUND, NO SUPPORT...

Owner's reply: Dear Vemag,

Aimy Speed Optimization cannot eliminate render blocking in every case.
There are some restrictions documented in the manual. We sent you a link to
the restrictions in our pre-sales email conversation.

Besides that we offer a check for websites that indicates if our extension
may help or not.

Obviously you did neither take the time to read the restrictions nor to use
the check to see if render blocking can be eliminated on your website.
This is indeed no reason for a refund.

High speed!
