AccelerateWP - is a set of optimization modules available for sysadmins and website owners. It allows users to find and troubleshoot performance issues at both the server and application level. It is accessible from the cPanel control panel, and can be enabled or disabled in cPanel’s feature manager. There are a few modules available with AccelerateWP:
Object Cache appears as a WP plugin which can be customized based on the individual requirements of the user and their specific websites. You can also turn on optimization for the CSS and Javascript files (minification of the file into one line of code, which is loaded faster). Different loading of media resources (using lazy load technology which speeds up the process of loading only requested content). Preload caching allows background caching, which is especially useful during the first visit of the website. The set of advanced rules include fine tuning, cleanup of unused / old data, control of the WordPress Heartbeat which provides a communication protocol between the browser and the server.
cPanel users have an interface for managing AccelerateWP features which allows them in one click to activate different types of optimization techniques after locating and displaying all websites for that specific end user.
SmartAdvice provides actionable advice on how to fix a problem and effortlessly improve website performance. All without the need for extensive research and pricey development expertise. The site admin or a user can turn on an auto tracing function which would work in the background and analyze the site’s performance. You will be able to decide how to improve the performance using our SmartAdvice which is based on the findings of PHP X-Ray. SmartAdvice automatically generates the list of suggested steps required to enhance the performance, and allows you to use two different levels of optimization to solve the problem.
PHP X-Ray provides detailed information on performance bottlenecks that involve the CMS. If a site has sluggish plugins, database queries, functions, or external calls, this new tool helps pinpoint the underlying problem.
Autotracing - automatically creates tracing tasks on the server and shows detailed analytics for the slowest URLs on a website on a daily basis. Together with all PHP X-Ray components, Autotracing gives you advanced control and manageability of PHP applications on your server.
