Enter NitroPack: a WordPress plugin with powerful speed optimization capabilities. With NitroPack activated, Google PageSpeed scores on desktop and mobile can now reach 90+ out of 100, the largest increases we have ever seen with an optimization plugin (sorry WP Rocket and Lazy Load). Google’s FCP, or First Contentful Paint, is also frequently brought to under 1.8 seconds, the benchmark for a good score. Below is an example of the change in Google PageSpeed’s score of our website.

NitroPack works by tackling the two main issues that negatively affect page speed: large amounts of page elements and hefty JavaScript execution.
It does this using several features. Caching
USA Email List Many optimization plugins also cache web pages to help increase site speed, so what makes NitroPack different? If you have used a plugin that caches your site, you may know that it can sometimes be a hassle to make sure your users are always seeing the most up-to-date content on your site. However, NitroPack has features like smart invalidation and automatic cache warmup that make it easy to update your content while keeping your site optimized. Additionally, NitroPack allows you to clear the cache of individual pages, using significantly less CDN bandwidth than would be needed if you were to clear your entire site’s cache. This allows many sites to operate using the free optimization plan from NitroPack at 1GB of CDN per month.
Nitro Pack Cache Image & Video Optimization Not only does Nitro Pack automatically lazy load images, videos and iFrames, but it also converts your images to WebP on supported browsers. Web is the newest image format that offers a smaller file size with the same level of quality. JavaScript Optimization JavaScript is a major contributor in slowing down a website. Nitro Pack supports JS minification and compression, as well as deferred loading. This is especially helpful for elements of your site that move, like sliding banners, animations, etc. While NitroPack is a quick way to increase your site speed, the JS optimization often needs some quality control and adjustment to make sure page elements load correctly for users.
