Leverage Browser Caching Pro brings browser cache controls and other WordPress performance settings together in one extension. Set cache durations for supported assets and manage compression, front-end code, media, fonts, database maintenance, and website options from its settings page. WooCommerce optimization is also included for stores.

Set cache durations and compression

Choose how long supported pictures, web fonts, stylesheets, scripts, files, data, and other documents remain in a visitor’s browser cache. The add-on also includes GZIP compression, Cache-Control headers, Keep-Alive, and ETag removal. These controls can help address recommendations from performance testing services such as Google PageSpeed Insights, GTmetrix, Pingdom Website Speed Test, WebPageTest, and YSlow.

Manage code, media, and fonts

• Minify CSS, JavaScript, and HTML.
• Delay JavaScript loading.
• Lazy load images and iFrames.
• Optimize Google Fonts.

Maintain the site and database

Additional tools include database cleanup, DNS prefetch, preload links, Heartbeat Control, and XML-RPC Disable. WooCommerce optimization delivers performance controls for stores alongside their product and checkout content.
