Optimize Website is a tool that helps reduce the size of website data sent to visitors.
It improves loading times by compressing content before it is delivered to browsers.
Optimize Website is available on Web Hosting and Site Hosting packages.
What Optimize Website Does #
Optimize Website:
- Enables content compression
- Reduces data transfer size
- Improves page load speed
- Works automatically once enabled
Compression happens at the server level.
How Content Compression Works #
When compression is enabled:
- Files are compressed before being sent
- Browsers decompress the content automatically
- No changes are made to your website files
Visitors do not notice the process.
Types of Content Affected #
Compression typically applies to:
- HTML files
- CSS files
- JavaScript files
- Text-based content
Images and already-compressed files are usually not affected.
Benefits of Compression #
Using Optimize Website can:
- Improve website performance
- Reduce bandwidth usage
- Improve user experience
- Help with slower connections
It is a simple performance improvement.
How to Enable Optimize Website #
To enable it:
- Log in to cPanel
- Go to Optimize Website
- Choose a compression option
- Apply the setting
Changes apply immediately.
When Optimize Website Is Not Useful #
Optimize Website provides limited benefit if:
- Your website already uses compression
- A CDN handles compression
- Files are already compressed
Enabling it will not harm the site in most cases.
Common Issues #
Rare issues may include:
- Conflicts with custom compression rules
- Unexpected behavior with specific scripts
These issues are uncommon.
Best Practices #
- Enable compression once
- Test website functionality
- Avoid overlapping compression systems
Multiple compression layers are unnecessary.
Responsibility Notice #
You are responsible for:
- Enabling and testing compression
- Monitoring website behavior
- Disabling the feature if conflicts occur
