Official Joomla! Announcements
Are you ready for the upcoming Google Speedgeddon? JSpeed is the professional solution to boost your website performance and make Google happy increasing the PageSpeed Insights rank in a snap!
Google rolled out the new "Speed" report within Google Search Console to confirm that the speed factor will be more and more important for the ranking of a website.
As if this wasn't enough, Google Chrome is going to integrate a special badge to mark slow websites, as already happened with the passage to the https protocol. This means that visitors will be scared of sites marked as slow and Google Chrome will suggest abandoning them... as a consequence having a fast website is no more an option but a 'must'!
The Google PageSpeed score assigned to your pages is now crucial, a score of 90 or above is considered fast, and 50 to 90 is considered moderate. Below 50 is considered to be slow.
*JSpeed increases performance of your website** by applying automatically several improvements as suggested by Google PageSpeed best practices. By installing the plugin you can reach up to a doubled score during the Google PageSpeed test.
JSpeed functionalities include:
•Scripts minification: Javascript can be minified
to reduce the total scripts size and save bandwidth
•Stylesheets minification: CSS can be minified to reduce the total CSS size and save bandwidth
•HTML minification: the HTML source code can be minified to reduce the total page size and save bandwidth
•Combine multiple JS and CSS files: Javascript and CSS can be combined in single files to minimize the HTTP request overhead
•Lazy-load images: Images and iframes that are out of view can be lazy-loaded only when the user scrolls down the page to display them
•Images optimization: Large images can be rescaled, resized and optimized on the fly to dramatically reduce the page size and bandwidth
•Htaccess optimization: A series of optimizations can be applied to the htaccess file in order to leverage the browser caching

•HTTP/2 optimizations: JSpeed works with HTTP/2 compatible servers to enable server push
•CDN support: Links for all assets can be automatically rewritten to point to your CDN domain
