Why choose FastPixel Website Accelerator?

  • Website Performance Boost: Just activate the plugin and within seconds the optimized webpages will start to be served.
  • Lower the CPU/RAM Impact: Using the plugin will reduce the impact on the resources used by your website. All the CPU intensive processing is done in the cloud and resulting pages will generally be served from a cached version and the optimized images from the CDN.
  • Automated Core Web Vitals Optimization: FastPixel takes care of all technical aspects automatically.
  • Smart Cache Warmup/Update: The cache warmup and update are taken care of automatically in a smart way. Pages are cached as they are visited and also updated if you update the content.
  • Critical CSS: CCSS is automatically generated for each page for lightning-fast page loads.
  • CSS/JS Processing: CSS/JS files are combined and also minified and compressed before they are served from our CDN.
  • HTML Optimization: A single, highly optimized HTML file is generated, adaptively serving the ideal webpage based on the visitor’s viewport or device (e.g., mobile, tablet, laptop).
  • DNS Preconnects: Accelerates resource fetching, reduces the access time to external resources.
  • Font Processing: All the techniques to accelerate the processing and delivery of fonts are employed, e.g. font subsetting, font loading control, font compression, font embedding (lower CLS result).
  • Image Resizing & Optimization: Images are automatically resized to fit their placeholders, optimized, and delivered through the ShortPixel CDN.
  • Automatic Next-Gen Images Delivery: Based on the visitor’s browser capabilities, original JPG, PNG, or GIF images are converted to and served as WebP or AVIF when supported. For browsers without support, the original format is provided.

Will the plugin interfere with other themes, plugins or widgets?

We have taken great care to ensure that FastPixel plugin won’t interfere with other themes, plugins or widgets, minimizing the chances of compatibility issues. Despite our best efforts to mitigate the risks, considering the vast array of hosting providers, along with tens of thousands of plugins and themes available in the WordPress ecosystem, occasional conflicts with other plugins or widgets are possible. If you encounter any issues or suspect interference with other plugins or widgets, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Is there an external service used by FastPixel plugin?

Our plugin integrates with an external service via dedicated API endpoints. This process involves sending a request with specific data to the server API endpoint, which then queues and processes the request to generate HTML content. Once your request reaches the front of the queue, the service processes the data, generates the HTML content based on the specified URL, and then sends the HTML back to the plugin using the provided postback URL. The plugin automatically receives the generated HTML content and saves it to the disk on your WordPress installation. This process is designed to be seamless and requires no manual intervention.

Example data sent to server API endpoint ‘https://api.fastpixel.io/api/v1/enqueue’ to request HTML page generation:

{
    "url":"https://example.com/",
    "postbackUrl":"https://example.com/wp-json/fastpixel-website-accelerator/v1/update",
    "settings":{
        "modules":{
            "ScriptRewrite":{
                "enabled":true,
                "settings":{
                    "exclude":{
                        "strings":[],
                        "regexps":[]
                    },
                    "eventHandlersRewrite":false,
                    "excludeGDPR":true
                },
            "injectBootstrapScripts":true,
            "rdelay":0
            },
            "ImageRewrite":{
                "enabled":true,
                "settings":{
                    "forceImageDimensions":false
                }
            },
            "ReducedFonts":{
                "settings":{
                    "soft":true
                }
            }
        },
        "imageQuality":"lossy",
        "cropImages":false
    },
    "plugin_version":"1.0.22",
    "siteKey":"randomKey"
}

Also there are two enpoints on external service:
https://api.fastpixel.io/api/v1/purge_all – this endpoint is used to request pages cache. Url is put into queue and once your request reaches the front of the queue, service processes request. Service request page and parse it to get list of links to other pages. Pages from this list are requested too. New html pages will be prepared and send back to wordpress installation for all pages from the list.
Example data sent to server API endpoint ‘https://api.fastpixel.io/api/v1/purge_all’ to request HTML page generation:

{
    "url":"https://example.com/",
    "siteKey":"randomKey"
}

https://api.fastpixel.io/api/v1/detect_endpoints – this endpoint is used to check which rest api route is available, /wp-json/fastpixel-website-accelerator/v1/update or ?rest_route=/fastpixel-website-accelerator/v1/update. Response from this endpoint return list of available endpoints and first item from this list is saved for future use. This endpoint is used only if default rest api endpoint is not available.
Example data sent to server API endpoint ‘https://api.fastpixel.io/api/v1/detect_endpoints’ to request HTML page generation:

{
    "url":"https://example.com/",
    "siteKey":"randomKey"
}

FastPixel is a breath of fresh air in the world of WordPress optimization tools. Since I started using it, I’ve been blown away by its smooth performance, user-friendly design, and incredibly well-crafted documentation. Every step feels intuitive, making optimization accessible even for less tech-savvy users. What truly sets FastPixel apart is its potential. As a regular user, I already see how it outshines older solutions like WP Rocket. With a few tweaks to improve compatibility with modern builders, it could easily become the go-to tool for WordPress optimization. Kudos to the team behind this amazing product! They’ve done a fantastic job creating something so efficient and forward-thinking. I’m excited to see how FastPixel evolves, as I’m confident it’ll continue to push boundaries and set new standards. If you’re looking for an innovative solution to boost your WordPress site, FastPixel should be at the top of your list. Great job, team!

I tested it on one of my clients websites and it is amazing! I just installed it and picked one of the presets presented in the plugin (I went with the fastest) and I got a score of 98 on PageSpeed Insights, where previously it had 58. It literally took me two minutes to setup. This result is what I usually get with 30-40 minutes of work configuring a plugin for server level caching on a LiteSpeed server.

This thing is pretty amazing. Brought my Page Speed Insights to the high 90s on my WooCommerce store in an instant. No conflicts, blips or degradations. I was able to dump all other performance accelerators and just use this. Highly recommend.
