PhastPress‘ motto is no configuration. Install, activate and go!

PhastPress has the Phast web page optimisation engine by Albert Peschar and Milko Kosturkov at its core.

Image optimization:

• Phast optimizes images using PNG quantization (pngquant) and JPEG recoding (libjpeg-turbo).
• Phast inlines small images (< 512 bytes) in the page.
• Phast converts JPEG images into WebP for supporting browsers.
• Phast enables native lazy loading to speed up page loading and save bandwidth.

Asynchronous scripts and stylesheets:

• Phast loads all scripts on your page asynchronously and in a single request, while maintaining full compatibility with legacy scripts, due to our custom script loader.
• Phast proxies external scripts to extend their cache lifetime.
• Phast inlines critical CSS automatically by comparing the rules in your stylesheets with the elements on your page.
• Phast loads non-critical CSS asynchronously and in a single request.
• Phast inlines Google Fonts CSS.
• Phast lazily loads IFrames to prioritize the main page load.
