## Description
Wonyx Speed Optimizer is a lightweight WordPress performance plugin that provides
practical caching, image and front-end optimization controls without requiring an
external optimization service.
The plugin focuses on common performance tasks that can be managed from WordPress:
caching eligible public HTML responses, generating WebP image sidecars, minifying
cached HTML, deferring eligible JavaScript through WordPress script strategies,
preloading a configured hero image, and warming a small set of local pages after
cache purges.
#### Performance Features
* **Page caching:** Stores eligible public HTML responses in the WordPress content
cache directory and serves warm cached pages on later requests.
* **HTML minification:** Reduces safe whitespace in cached HTML output.
* **JavaScript defer:** Uses the WordPress script strategy API for eligible front-
end scripts while skipping handles with inline before/after code.
* **LCP image preload:** Lets an administrator specify an exact above-the-fold
image URL to preload.
* **WebP generation:** Creates WebP sidecar files for supported JPEG and PNG files
while preserving the original media files.
* **Bulk image optimization:** Processes existing media in small scheduled batches
and reports conversion results.
* **Cache preload:** Makes small background requests to the same WordPress site
to warm the homepage and a limited number of recently modified public pages.
* **Optional Apache/LiteSpeed rules:** When explicitly enabled by an administrator,
the plugin can add its own marked `.htaccess` rules for browser caching, compression
and WebP rewriting.
#### Privacy and External Services
Wonyx Speed Optimizer does not include advertising, telemetry or third-party analytics
and does not require an external account for its core features.
The cache preload feature sends HTTP requests only to URLs on the same WordPress
site’s host. It does not send site data to Wonyx IT Solutions or another external
optimization service.
#### Compatibility Notes
Performance behavior varies by hosting stack, theme and installed plugins. After
enabling optimization options, test important public pages and interactive features
such as navigation, forms, account areas, carts and checkout flows. Avoid running
overlapping page-cache or HTML optimization features in multiple performance plugins
at the same time.
The optional `.htaccess` rules are intended for compatible single-site Apache and
LiteSpeed environments. They are disabled by default, are not installed automatically
on activation, and are not enabled on WordPress multisite networks.
## Installation
1. Install the plugin from **Plugins > Add New**, or upload the plugin ZIP through**
Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin**.
2. Activate **Wonyx Speed Optimizer**.
3. Open **Wonyx Speed** in the WordPress admin menu.
4. Review the settings and explicitly enable only the optimizations appropriate for
the site. Potentially compatibility-sensitive front-end, image, preload and server-
rule features are disabled by default.
5. Save the settings, clear the page cache, and test key front-end pages.
6. Enable the optional Apache/LiteSpeed server rules only when the site uses a compatible
server and WordPress can safely update `.htaccess`.
## FAQ
### What does Wonyx Speed Optimizer do?
It provides WordPress page caching, cached HTML minification, JavaScript defer,
LCP image preload controls, WebP generation, cache preloading and optional Apache/
LiteSpeed rules.
### Can it improve WordPress page speed?
The plugin is designed to reduce common front-end and page-delivery overhead. Actual
PageSpeed Insights and Core Web Vitals results depend on the theme, plugins, hosting,
page content, third-party resources and server configuration.
### How does the page cache work?
Eligible public GET responses are stored as HTML files under the WordPress content
cache directory. Logged-in sessions, previews, password-protected posts, common
WooCommerce cart/account pages and other unsuitable requests are excluded.
### Does the plugin modify wp-config.php or install advanced-cache.php?
No. This version does not modify `wp-config.php` and does not install or replace
an `advanced-cache.php` drop-in.
### Does the plugin change .htaccess automatically when activated?
No. Optional Apache/LiteSpeed rules are disabled by default. The plugin adds its
own marked `.htaccess` section only after an administrator explicitly enables the
server-rules option and saves the settings.
### What happens to existing .htaccess content?
The plugin uses WordPress marker functions for its own section and does not intentionally
replace unrelated rules. Disabling the option or deactivating the plugin removes
the Wonyx marker section.
### Does the plugin generate WebP images?
Yes. When supported by the server’s WordPress image editor, the plugin can create`.
wso.webp` sidecar files for JPEG and PNG media variants. Original media files are
preserved.
### Are WebP files always kept?
No. A generated WebP sidecar is kept only when it is valid and smaller than the
corresponding source image.
### Does JavaScript defer rewrite scripts manually?
No. The defer feature uses WordPress script strategy data for eligible enqueued
script handles. It does not load plugin JavaScript from a third-party CDN.
### Can I preload a hero or LCP image?
Yes. You can enter the exact image URL used above the fold. Use this selectively
because unnecessary preloads can compete with more important requests.
### Does cache preload contact an external service?
No. The preload worker requests only same-host URLs from the WordPress site, such
as the homepage and a few recently modified public pages.
### Does the plugin collect analytics or telemetry?
No. Wonyx Speed Optimizer does not include usage tracking, advertising telemetry
or automatic data reporting to Wonyx IT Solutions.
### What should I test after enabling optimization?
Test navigation, forms, search, logged-out public pages, account areas, carts, checkout
flows, popups and other interactive features used by the site. Clear the cache after
changing optimization settings.
### What happens when the plugin is uninstalled?
The plugin removes its WordPress options, scheduled events, plugin-managed cache
directory and marked `.htaccess` rules. Generated `.wso.webp` media sidecars are
preserved to avoid deleting potentially referenced media derivatives during uninstall.
