A free WordPress website plugin to speed up and optimize WP page

Autoptimize for WordPress is a plugin the provides a full series of website optimization tools to help you speed up your website for first-time and repeat visitors. It is free to use, but promotional adverts are frequently displayed, which even non-admin users will be able to see on your website pages and posts.

This website caching plugin is comparable to VideoCacheView. It even defers scripts to the footer as well as minify CSS and HTML. By deferring scripts to the footer, a web page appears to load faster than it actually does when measured with tools like Google PageSpeed Insights.

Is the Autoptimize plugin any good?

As a basic website caching and optimizing tool for small websites, Autoptimize is more than suitable. However, larger high-volume websites with heavy traffic will likely need a more robust and customizable tool.

What does Autoptimize do?

It caches pages on your user's web browser, so they'll load more quickly the next time they visit your website. It also reduces the weight of web pages to make them load more quickly.

Can I use Autoptimize with WP Rocket?

Yes, you can. However, if you're using the full paid version of WP Rocket, Autoptimize becomes redundant. That means you probably won't need Automize unless using the free plugin versions.

Built to stay

The problem with this caching plugin is you're stuck with it forever. Even after deactivating or uninstalling, the app doesn't revert its changes, except lazy loading.

Lightweight pages

Through compression, minification, and page optimization, Autoptimize makes your web pages lighter. These features result in quicker, lightweight pages that are easier to load for your visitors, and it works with most browsers and devices.

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
