GETTING STARTED WITH W3SPEEDSTER

Once you activate W3Speedster, the first thing is to run recommended settings from the notification bar and see how much faster your site has already become!

You can easily see the quick improvement in loading time W3Speedster has achieved just by running in its default configuration.

If you have advanced knowledge about “how the rendering of a website” works in the browser, you can start to further optimize your setup based on recommendations from performance testing tools like:
GTmetrix
Pingdom Tools
Google Developers PageSpeed Insights

If you find your results vary with these tools, then it is best to use one tool, consecutively test your website 3 times and take the average of the results.

BEST PRACTICES FOR CONFIGURATION

When testing options in W3Speedster, consider the following steps:

Step 1: Install and activate options one at a time, not all at once.
Note: Once check off the “Turn on Optimization” option, all optimization work will move to your live site. To keep up with the testing site, uncheck the Turn On Optimization option, the optimization work will automatically run on the tester URL eg. https://yoursitename.com/?tester=1.

Step 2: After activating each option, check your site in a browser window where you have not logged in to WordPress.
Note: An incognito/private window works well. By doing this, you will see immediately if any particular option causes any issues.

Step 3: Check the pages on your site.
Note: No need to check optimization on the tester URL, you can check directly on your live site. If anything doesn’t look right, don’t panic! Uncheck the “Turn on Optimization” option you have activated. Your site will return to normal again.
