Hey Matt! I just finished building a small and simple website and tried this plugin. Here are the surprising results!
Pagespeed Insights: Performance 73 -> 99 (desktop) 93 (mobile)
GTmetrix: C -> A with Performance 78% -> 100%, Structure 81% -> 98%, LCP 2.2s -> 503ms
Pingdom: C 74 -> A 95 with with load time 4.65s -> 1.6s
I wasn't expecting such improvement. Thanks for making this video.

Great video! I got the confirmation Airlift will keep the existing features free forever but will have a pro plan in the future for new features. The dashboard is confusing with the $199 plans showing when going to the other blocks like security, uptime, backups. Theysaid they'll fix it, it's an error in the UI. Those other blocks are for WP Remote. Hope this helps clarify some confusion (I know I needed it 😅)

[smassky]

Its interesting how well this plugin works, and also that it seems to be mostly hosted not on our websites, like other plugins. Atleast the dash board anyway.

It does seem tonwork rather well though! Just a little concerned security wise, if it leaves a way for those with bad intentions to get in. Then again, what doesn't these days, lol

Tried it and works perfectly on homepage level. We went (on a testdomain with copy of commercial website) from 75 to 98 on desktop and 61 to perfect 100 on mobile. On category level however we got 70 and product level we got only 50. Any advise? Will WP Rocket be better on 2e and 3rd level?

Thank you for this video introducing Airlift. I am intrigued (and frankly slightly sceptical ) about a free plug in that can have such an amazingly positive effect so quickly and without mucking up things on my website. I feel I should give it a try, but I need your advice first. I have the Nitropack (free) plugin on my website ( from an earlier recommendation) . I have the optimisation set to medium because anything stronger started to adversely affect the operation of my page loading etc. So I am worried that Airlift would be too "powerful". I also assume that it would be a mistake to have both Nitropack and Airlift plugins operational at the same time so that I would have to deactivate or delete Nitropack before trying it. Maybe you could do another video to compare airlift and to answer these concerns. Thanks again for being so helpful in my very amateur journey in building and running my Wordpress website.

[TheWayofKen]

Will it work on staging sites? I'd rather test things like this first. Thanks.

[luciakuckovska]

Thank you! This plugin looks amazing!! I would like to ask if it is possible to optimize multiple websites under one user access?

Speed up WordPress with FREE Plugin ⚡ Airlift Tutorial 2024. Liked. Thanks.

[keithagnew]

Hmm, it crashed my site and provided the following message: "Something went wrong. Please retry or contact us." I did this on a fresh install with the latest version of Wordpress and Divi. I think they need more time. Also - their only pricing option is $199 a year with no documentation (ie. trial, refunds, etc). This would make it the most expensive plugin out there with minimal info and support. Honestly, seems a bit sketchy and unreliable for now - but I will do a little more testing. Thanks for the vids, nice work.

[mohammedelbekkari]

Thank you for your efforts. However, after using the plugin, I encountered an issue with the initial rendering of the site. The display is only correct after moving the cursor, particularly with the Slider Revolution plugin, despite having an optimization score of 100.

[andreabeles]

From 19 to 94 :-) Thank you very much!

[SergioZapata-bt]

What is the best free alternative to WP rocket regarding WordPress page speed optimization?

[tynegeemajor]

Can i have some honest advice, between airlift and wprocket which is best??
i currently have wprocket pro

[dazthephot]

if you've already got litespeed cache this seems disable that plugins features. I think you have to choose which is best and run that rather than both

[nailakhalid]

Hey Matt I have seen lots of speed optimization tutorials where people only teach how a plugin does this work
Why don't you teach what is LCP FID and all these protocols which need to be optimized

[seshasaimudumba]

Hey Matt. I have added One site in the Plugin. Wanted to add Another Site. There is Little bit confusion of adding the another site, Like I have pasted the Url, Is that again i need to download the plugin for adding the new site?
