WP Meteor Page Speed Optimization Topping

By Aleksandr Guidrevitch

Description

WP Meteor is a completely new way of optimizing your page speed. It works even on top of your existing optimizations, including:

  • Autoptimize
  • WP Rocket
  • WP Total Cache
  • WP Super Cache

WP Meteor is not compatible with:

  • Nitropack

WP Meteor is known to have delay issues with:

  • Elementor Offcanvas addon

WARNING

The plugin might not work for someone, that’s expected – delaying scripts has its downsides. Also, the plugin logics is quite complicated, so bugs happen.

If your site is business-critical or e-commerce, please test carefully all your business-critical pages, forms and/or your checkout process. Feel free to create an Issue if something doesn’t work.

The plugin is made to leave no trace on the disk or in the database upon deactivation and removal, so don’t hesitate to install and test, may be your site suits well for that kind of optimization.

Don’t forget to test the site carefully after plugin installation. If you are not happy with the result – you can either uninstall the plugin, or create an Issue, I will either fix the problem, or list a compatibility issue here.

ONE MORE WARNING

Infinite delay will delay your GA and GTM until user interaction. I would not recommed to use it, but it is still there because multiple users requested it. Use it with caution and at your own risk.

HOW IT WORKS

If user doesn’t start interacting with page immediately, WP Meteor postpones loading and firing scripts until after page gets rendered, giving you 2x-5x boost in your Pagespeed metric.

This postponement in script loading greatly improves perceived load times for your visitors. It also significantly improves the following important SEO metrics:

Installation

  1. Upload the plugin files to the /wp-content/plugins/wp-meteor directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress
  3. Use the Settings -> WP Meteor screen to configure the plugin

FAQ

Is it good for SEO?

Yes, because all that matters is visitor experience, and WP Meteor improves that experience with a lot faster load times

How can I easily compare speed with/without WP Meteor ?

Once WP Meteor is enabled, you can add ?wpmeteordisable query string parameter to a page URL in order to load the page without optimizations

How to exclude a page from optimization

Use wpmeteor_enabled filter and return false to completely disable WP Meteor, example:

add_filter('wpmeteor_enabled', function ($value) {
    global $post;
    if ($post && $post->ID == 1) {
        return false;
    }
    return $value;
});

How to exclude a script from optimization

  1. Use ‘Exclude’ tab to exclude scripts by matching src or inline content using regexp

  2. Use wpmeteor_exclude filter, which accepts 2 arguments: $exclude and $content. $content variable contains either src attribute, or text content of the script tag. Return true if you want to exclude the script. Example:

    add_filter('wpmeteor_exclude', function ($exclude, $content) {
    if (preg_match('/yourscript\.js/', $content)) {
        return true;
    }
    return $exclude;
}, null, 2);

Alternatively, you can use data-wpmeteor-nooptimize=”true” script attribute to exclude it from optimization.

How to adjust delay outside of 1s, 2s and Infinity

Use wpmeteor-frontend-adjust-wpmeteor filter in the following way:

add_filter('wp-meteor-frontend-adjust-wpmeteor', function ($wpmeteor, $settings) {
    $wpmeteor['rdelay'] = 4000; // number of milliseconds to delay 
    return $wpmeteor;
}, 100, 2);

Great optimization plug-in in combo with Phastpress

مارچ 19, 2023
Pretty simple plug-in. Wish it had a little bit more options but improves my site speed a lot. A perfect companion with the plug-in Phastpress. It doesn’t really seem to It doesn’t really seem to work well with Elementor page transitions though as it glitches out.

Incredible performance and support!!

مارچ 3, 2023
I was hopeful for a bit of a speed boost when I downloaded but I did not expect that much of a jump!! This plugin just blew me away, I went from 44 mobile speed to 88 on pagespeed after pulling the slider all the way to the right (still a bit of work to do on my end). I am sitting at 98 Desktop on an Elementor site with quite a heavy payload (video header and images). I noticed that one part of my site had an error that I could not fix so I contacted support. Aleksandr replied within an hour and released a patch that fixed everything only 4 hours later. I only ever write reviews for people who deserve it, this support was phenomenal. This will be getting adding to all of my websites from now on. Thanks team for your help!

It works like magic

WP Meteor is very great and useful plugin. I was using another plugin and delaying the script for 3 second. this plugin with zero delay it performance much better. It works great with caching plugin no conflicts or anything of that sort. Thank you so much, you really made me happy.

It's a plugin that I like in general. Only when the plugin is active GA shows 0 users. GA returns to normal when I disable the plugin. What could be the reason for this?

Don’t use this
