v1.1.1 released

After a lot of R&D andtesting we are ready with few core improvement in WEBO Site SpeedUp.

• Fist of all, there added normal CDN distribution for CSS/JavaScript files. We are going to include a number of pre-defined rules for CDN hosts naming (i.e. for Coral CDN), but now you can just enable CDN distribution for all files (w/o actual merging). 'Multiple hosts' group of options renamed to 'CDN'.
• Changed Unobtrusive JavaScript logic (widgets are moved to window.onload). The second major improvement. Now a number of critical widgets (Google Search, Google Connect, Facebook Connect) can be loaded after the whole page is ready (window.onload).This significantly improves website load speed (by Google Webmasters).
• Added support for Google Search widget.
• Added support for Google Connect widget.
• Added support for Facebook Connect widget.
• Added support for Novoteka widget.
• Improved data:URI (failures handling).
• X-Cart added to supported systems.
• Improved UI.
  Minor fixes for achievements logic.
• Minor compatibility fixes.

v1.1.0 released

• Achievements page was added. We are introducing new concept of website speedup - speedup achievements. Now every user can get how its website is fast in terms of industry standards / evaluations and measure website performance through time. For this purpose there is Achievements page inside the product and its external copy to share with your friends, colleagues, or even boss :) More info about WEBO Site SpeedUp awards.
• Improved caching / gzip for some systems.
• Improved server modules detection (CGI environment).
• Improved UI (a lot of minor fixes to make it easier).

v1.0.5 released

Few compatibility and performance improvements in the new build of WEBO Site SpeedUp. List of changes:

• Page 'Cache' moved to 'System Status' tab (Cache). Now all information about cache files is located on System Status (what is more clear), and there is much less info (because huge blocks of information on the previous Cache page seemed not to be useful). We are working on complete Cache Manager tool (to re-create cache blocks for separate website sections / pages), but it will be a little later.
• Excluded 'Performance - Quick check' option. It's misconfigured in the most of cases, and actual performance gain was very little.
• Fixed minor compatibility issues. Some more environments now not caused 500 errors on switching between configurations.
• Improved minify for CSS files.
• Improved client side caching.
• Improved UI (minor fixes).

v1.0.4 released

Some minor improvements in usability and compatibility. More info:

• Improved HTML Sprites. General logic made more stable and fast.
• Fixed mhtml processing for IE7@Vista. Now users with IE7 will get the same fast website as the others.
• Improved server side environment detection. Fixed a few issues with CGI systems.
• Minor UI fixes.

v1.0.3 released

A lot of minor usability and accessibility fixes (both in administrative interface and application core logic) is this release. More info:

• Added option 'Safe JS combine'. It guarantees that in case of broken JavaScript it will be loaded separately and won't harm other scripts. Here is used try-catch envelope (which reduces a bit performance, so it can be disabled).
• Added Basic configuration set. Basic configuration includes all first-priority performance actions, and it is a bit better than Safe one. But it can fail on a few environments.
• Added welcome screen after installation. Major UI improvement - now there is welcome screen with quick actions and new features right after WEBO Site SpeedUp installation.
• Added Error screen on failed automatic installation. With welcome screen also added Error screen to help understand what is worng (very rarely) with WEBO Site SpeedUp installation (and which actions can be applied).
• Other UI fixes and improvements.
• CSS Sprites logic improvements.
• Improved server environment detection.

WEBO Site SpeedUp v1.0.1

We didn't stop with product improvements, and after major 1.0 release continued to make it better. So here is a scheduled 1.0.1 update.

• Greatly improved CSS Sprites. There were added a few complicated cases to CSS Sprites logic, fixes memory consumption (approximately by 20-50%). Also improved CSS properties in case of complicated selectors restoration.
• Added automated request for 7-day trial key. Now you can test Premium Edition for 7 days (for 1 website) after installation, no performance or feature limits.
• Fixed endless redirects on 404 errors. In some cases side caching with wo.static.php lead to recursive redirects. Such situations were fixed.
• Added 'Share results on Twitter' buttons. Now you can post your optimization results directly to Twitter.
• Minor UI fixes.
• Improved static resources caching in case of symlinks usage.
• Improved external resources fetching (i.e. in case of dynamic background images).

We are moving to completely stable and featured v1.0 and here is one more update on this way. In the version 0.9.7:

• Improved UI. All icons were recreated and combined to a few of CSS Sprites (via Auto Sprites tool). Now the whole interface loads faster and there are less files in package (update is going also faster).
• Added option to exclude WEBO Site SpeedUp logic. You can define in System Status -> Settings a number of parts of URL to exclude from processing - and they won't be accelerated with WEBO Site SpeedUp. This field has the same syntax as for Server Side Cache exclude option.
• Improved smush.it callbacks. Reviwed some more issues with bunch image optimization of a huge amounts of data. Callbacks from smush.it tuned a bit.
• Improved static gzip tool. Now it can use gzip console tool if it's allowed to be executed from PHP.
