K2 For Joomla 010 : Speed Up Joomla Website JCH Optimizer Plugin

JCH optimizer is a small system level plugin for Joomla that compresses parts of your website to lessen the load for your clients’ web browsers. How does this work? It compresses the output from Joomla so that there is fewer data/communication required between the server and the browser. • You can get this plugin at: https://sourceforge.net/projects/jch-optimize/files/ • Enabling JCH Optimizer Go to “Extensions” = “Plugin Manager”. Find “System – JCH_Optimize” within the listings of plugins. Select “System – JCH_Optimize” and change “Status” to “Enabled”. • Using JCH Optimizer o Under “Basic Options” (located on the right-hand side) there are many options for JCH Optimizer. We’ll be going over its HTML/CSS/Javascript functions below: o Combine CSS Files – If “Yes” is selected, this option combines external CSS files into one file. o Replace @import – If “Yes” is selected, all @import properties will be placed into the combined CSS file. o Combine JavaScript Files – If “Yes” is selected, this option combines external JavaScript files into one file. o GZip CSS and JavaScript file – If “Yes” is selected, combined CSS and JavaScript files will be compressed for faster downloads. o Minify CSS – If “Yes” is selected, all unnecessary spaces and comments within your CSS file will be deleted. o Minify javascript – If “Yes” is selected, all unnecessary spaces and comments within your JavaScript file will be deleted. o Minify HTML – If “Yes” is selected, all unnecessary spaces and comments within your HTML file will be deleted. o Defer JavaScript – If “Yes” is selected, a “defer” attribute is added to the JavaScript tag. This can improve performance by giving the browser the option to delay executing the script until the body has loaded. o Position combined javascript – This option allows you to choose the placement of the combined Javascript. o Lifetime (days) – Sets the lifetime of the cached combined files. -------------------------------------------------------------------- For more K2 video tutorials Follow K2 Series: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4K2u1AnBCUA
