10Web Booster offers four optimization levels to improve website performance without altering its structure or style. The system automatically selects the best level, but you can adjust it manually. This guide covers the levels and helps you choose the right one for your site.
For more information about the 10Web Website Booster and how it works to optimize websites of any complexity, please check out Intro to 10Web Website Booster.
Accessing the optimization levels
To change your website's optimization level:
- Log in to your 10Web account.
- Select the website you want to optimize.
- Under Website Booster, click on Main.
- Hover over the desired level.
- Click Apply to activate it.
Optimization levels
Each level offers different performance improvements.
Standard
- Combines and compresses CSS and JS files for faster loading.
- Delays select JS files to load upon user interaction.
- Converts images to WebP format for smaller file sizes.
- Enables lazy loading for images, videos, and iframes.
Balanced
- Includes all Standard optimizations.
- Adds Critical CSS generation to prioritize above-the-fold content.
Strong
- Includes all Balanced optimizations.
- Delays all JavaScript, making JS load only when a user interacts with the page.
Extreme
- Includes all Strong optimizations.
- Maximizes Critical CSS and JS delay for the highest speed.
- Recommended for websites that aren't heavily dependent on JavaScript.
Choosing the right optimization level
Selecting the right level largely depends on your website's individual requirements and your preference for stability versus speed.
Standard & Balanced
- Best for reliability and minimal impact on functionality.
- Uses browser-based optimizations to improve speed without major structural changes.
Strong
- Offers faster speeds while keeping website stability.
- Delays all JavaScript until user interaction, improving performance.
Extreme
- Most aggressive optimization, ensuring the highest speed scores.
- Works best for websites with minimal JavaScript dependency.
- Recommended for testing first on a few pages to evaluate its performance before applying site-wide.
Note:
If you have a hosted website on 10Web, you can also apply the Pro Level optimization, which enables Cloudflare CDN for additional speed improvements.
Advanced settings
If the predefined levels don’t fit your needs, you can fine-tune optimizations using Advanced settings in 10Web Booster.
Important:
After changing the optimization level, your website will be re-optimized, and changes will take effect once the process is complete.
