WEBO Site SpeedUp v0.9.5

Today we have released the first (official) version of new WEBO Site SpeedUp. Its general state is beta (release candidate), but all unstable issues are related to UI only. Main core stability is improved (since version 0.6.7) and some new features were added.

Get the latest version.

Before public 1.0 release we are going to review and improve current user interface (in terms of usability and response times). Also it seems support for punypng optimization will be added to 1.0 (since they have API get up).

Feel free to submit any bugs here, we appreciate your help in improving this awesome software package.

WEBO Site SpeedUp public beta

Here we are with the hottest performance optimization software. We are still working to pplish it but you can enjoy this stuff under you favorite CMS. Here are WEBO Site SpeedUp 0.9.5b download links:

• Standalone package
• Joomla! 1.5 installer
• WordPress installer
• Drupal installer

Installation is the same as usual - just copy plugin in WordPress or Drupal to general plugin directory and activate it via administrative interface. Then go to Settings page and play with WEBO Site SpeedUp interface.

For Joomla! 1.5 you just need to install appropriate package (via Extensions installer) and go to the component's page.

Upgrade procedure

If you are using old version and want to upgrade to the newest one -- please store file web-optimizer/config.webo.php somewhere (just as a backup), than upgrade your package to this beta version. Usually you need to update it once more - from WEBO Site SpeedUp interface (Update is located in System Status -> Updates -> Show me beta versions). Then configuration file will be altered to fit new structure. If you have any troubles with upgrading - please contact us. It seems you should have at least backed up configuration file to perform restoration.

Joomla! users please note that there is no standard way to upgrade current Web Optimizer plugin to WEBO Site SpeedUp component + plugin. So please somehow save settings from plugin interface / database. You will be able to set them back (WEBO Site SpeedUp by default is in a debug mode, website won't be hurted, cache files will be saved).

Known issues

There a few minor bugs we are still working on:

• Not all blocks are loaded at once on Control Panel (home) page in IE.
• Interface doesn't look perfect under IE6/7.
• Optimization results may be counted incorrectly sometimes (just not countered properly).
• Some pages / UI elements will be changed a bit to make overall design better.

Web Optimizer 0.6.7 released

Last 0.xx version before major 1.0 release has been published today - 0.6.7 aka 'frost'. We tuned a lot of minor stuff and improved a number of parts of application.

• Added delayed load for iframes. Now you can exclude iframes (i.e. ads) from general waterfall of website load (to prevent their blocking nature) — the same way as for Unobtrusive logic.
• Improved behavior for 'Uniform cache files' option. Now conditional comments are striped for all browsrs except IE and HTML cache files relate to current set of options.
• Enabled optimization for cached content in Drupal. There was a bug in Drupal native module with not optimized content on caching. Now Web Optimizer works in any case, it doesn't matter have you cached your website on server side or not.
• Separated Upgrade / Install to stable / beta branches. One more big change before 1.0 release — now you can upgrade either to the latest stable branch, or to the latest beta (the most featured) version on the product. And switch between them.
• Added Web Optimizer module for Bitrix. Bitrix is the most known CMS for corporate websites, and now Web Optimizer supports it in native mode.
• Improved unobtrusive logic (added some ads).
• Improved files combine (added exclusions, general logic).
