How is it different from https://wordpress.org/plugins/jetpack?
Updated by Raymond Hoh about 1 year ago
Jetpack Boost is a standalone plugin to enable your web browser to display your site faster.
From their plugin FAQ:
Jetpack Boost makes small changes to the way that data is sent from your WordPress site to your users’ browser, to enable the browser to display your site faster.
Jetpack Boost includes a few separate features which can be turned on individually to improve your site’s performance. These include:
Optimize CSS Loading: This feature determines the most important CSS that your site needs to display your site’s initial content as quickly as possible, and embeds it directly into your site header.
Defer Non-Essential JavaScript: This feature forces all of the JavaScript which is not deemed essential to displaying your site to load after your site’s main content has been loaded.
Lazy Image Loading: This feature delays loading images on your site until they are scrolled into view, allowing the browser to load the first content that the user will see first.
I think if you're willing to be a beta tester for the Commons, Raffi, we could enable it on your site. If it works well, we could allow the plugin to be available across the Commons.

Thanks, Raffi. Plugin installed in https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/cac/commit/409ebcebd775b4f1d8d59aa820e72aba98cfb9bd and limited to khatchad.commons.gc.cuny.edu in https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/cac/commit/cdb64161173337b0e22351f76247fe743ec2eef7
The way that CSS and other assets are generated on the Commons is different - more complex and bespoke - than on a standard, standalone WP site. So I'm a bit skeptical that these automated tools will do much. But it's worth a try! The plugin will be available after the next maintenance release

Thanks, Boone. I've been using the original Jetpack plug-in for some time that is also supposed to boost some performance. I've noticed a difference with images. Otherwise, I haven't noticed much. I also don't know if they can be used in conjunction. Please let me know when it's up and I'll activate it. Thanks!
