We've ended the guesswork of how to get the fastest, most secure WordPress setup. Thanks to testing, testing and more testing, our team has created A2 Optimized.

A2 Optimized is an A2 Hosting exclusive WordPress plugin providing auto-configuration for your sites! With auto-optimizations like compression, caching, site security hardening and  more, you can turn your focus to building your site and promoting it!

LiteSpeed Cache quickly serves stored static snapshots of your site for the fastest performance, instead of making your visitors wait for PHP and WordPress to generate your pages for each visit.

Uses the LSCache for WordPress plugin to give your WooCommerce store an extra speed boost.

Our exclusive A2 Optimized Site Accelerator is a cPanel plugin providing pre-configured caching for your applications from a single interface for even faster page loads. Caching options include:

• Turbo Cache - The entire HTML contents of a page is stored by Turbo Cache and served without running PHP for up to 20X faster page loads.
• Memcached - Increases the speed of your MySQL databases by keeping your most important data in memory for quicker retrieval.
• OPcache - Dramatically improves PHP performance by storing scripts in shared memory instead of requiring PHP to load and parse scripts for each request.

Optimizes styles for each page to boost site speed, especially for mobile visitors.

Delay non-critical processes allowing the most important portions of your site to load first.

Increases you site's performance by automatically delaying the loading of media on your posts and pages until your visitors scroll down to where they actually appear on your page.

Boosts performance by speeding up PHP execution times, reducing database load and delivering content faster.

Improves each of your pages' performance by storing your site's static files (logo, images, CSS etc.) on your visitors' browser. These files can be retrieved quickly for each additional page they visit, instead of retrieving the files from your server again.

With our Anycast DNS solution, DNS records are duplicated across A2 Hosting's global network ultimately bringing them closer to your visitors. Anycast DNS increases performance when your site is visited by offering quicker response times, lowering latency and increasing redundancy.

HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 are major revisions to the HTTP network protocol and are included with all Turbo plans. HTTP/3 provides significantly faster page load times than HTTP because of its ability to deliver more HTTP requests at once and prioritize those requests. HTTP/3 delivers files 20%-30% faster than HTTP.

With ESI, you no longer have to designate an entire page as non-cacheable just because one portion cannot be cached. Instead you can easily designate portions of your page to be cached (or not cached) with ESI. This is significant especially for sites created by applications like Magento or WordPress.

Automatically checks your site for malware and other vulnerabilities. Receive an instant alert If Jetpack finds any problems so they can be addressed immediately!
