Have you ever wished your website scored 90+ on Google PageSpeed Insights, GTMetrix and other website performance analysis tools?
And achieve that without the need to pay expensive fees to consultants or learn a lot of advanced technical stuff?
โก FastPixel automatically integrates all the latest technical enhancements, such as Page Caching, HTML/CSS/JS minification, DNS prefetching and preloading, Critical CSS, ShortPixel’s Smart Image Optimization, adaptive images, background image scaling and optimization, HTTP/2 support, fonts loading optimization, caching, a global CDN, and Core Web Vitals, within an easy-to-use, 1-minute-setup interface.
There is no need to install our plugin to run a test.
You can test FastPixel live on a sandbox website at TasteWP or you can quickly assess how FastPixel can optimize your website by conducting a test. Simply use this test page, and we will apply all optimizations to a copy of your website.
This way, you can easily evaluate the substantial speed improvements it can achieve using the most widely recognized website performance analysis tools.
Global Cache stores your fully optimized pages directly on global CDN edge nodes, so they can be delivered to visitors from a location closer to them instead of always reaching your origin server. This means faster page delivery, lower server load, and better performance for visitors around the world.
Choose the setup that works best for you: FastPixel CDN or Cloudflare. FastPixel handles the caching and cache purging automatically, so your visitors get faster pages while your content stays fresh.
โ Full-page caching at global edge locations
โ Works with FastPixel CDN or Cloudflare โ your choice
โ Faster page delivery for visitors around the world
โ Reduced load on your origin server
โ Automatic edge cache purging when your FastPixel cache is cleared
โ Works seamlessly with our optimization and cache system
โ Simple setup with no complex CDN configuration
You can now connect FastPixel to your Redis or Memcached server and let our plugin handle the rest.
Object caching stores the results of database queries in memory, so WordPress skips repetitive work on every page load, meaning faster pages and less load on your server. No configuration needed. Just connect and go.
– No need for additional plugins
– Tuned for WooCommerce compatibility
– Built for maximum performance with the same resources
– Smart cache prefetching
– Fully compliant with WordPress
– Improved efficiency with simple settings and defaults

FastPixel provides WordPress action hooks that allow developers to programmatically trigger cache purges and react to cache events. This is useful when integrating FastPixel with custom plugins, WooCommerce, ACF, or any workflow that modifies content outside the standard WordPress editor.
Example hooks:
do_action(‘fastpixel/purge/all’); – Purges the entire site cache.
do_action(‘fastpixel/purge/single’, [‘id’ => 123]); – Purges the cache for a single post, page, or taxonomy term.
do_action(‘fastpixel/purge/url’, ‘https://example.com/my-landing-page/’); – Purges the cache for a specific URL.
For a detailed documentation about the hooks, please see this page: https://fastpixel.io/docs/fastpixel-hooks/
No installation instructions provided.
Our plugin is intentionally designed to be straightforward, so you usually won’t require assistance.
However, if you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to contact us, and we’ll be quick to assist you.
Yes, we do! Please contact us to discuss about this.
The FastPixel plugin offers an all-in-one solution to speed up your website. It’s easy to set up, integrates the latest website speed optimization technologies, and is superbly supported by the ShortPixel support team
Yes, FastPixel can be used with Cloudflare. It also includes a Cloudflare integration that allows it to automatically purge the Cloudflare cache remotely once a page has been optimized.
Yes, FastPixel can easily replace any other caching plugin and we recommend disabling any other caching plugins when using FastPixel to avoid potential conflicts.
Yes, our plugin works with all hosting providers, but if you encounter any issues just let us know and we will be happy to help!
“Queued” cache status means that the page is in queue to be processed by our servers and will soon appear as “Cached”.
If your WordPress changes are not appearing, please make sure to clear the FastPixel cache, as you are likely seeing a cached version of the page. Once the cache is purged, the changes should appear instantly.
Yes, as long as you install it on a website that doesn’t generate more than 1,000 page views/month, you don’t have to pay for it ๐
If you exceed this threshold no worries, affordable monthly or yearly plans are available for you.
Thatโs probably enough for most small websites! If your website is visited by less than 50 visitors per day, it will most likely not exceed 1,000 pageviews/month.
Yes, FastPixel definitely works with WooCommerce stores and should boost your speed significantly!
Yes, FastPixel is the ultimate plugin to boost and pass Core Web Vitals without needing any technical skills or complex setups!
Yes, FastPixel is fully GDPR compliant. We have servers located in Europe, and our CDN includes over 119 points of presence worldwide, including several in Europe.
Yes, if you make any changes to a page that has already been cached, the page will automatically be cached with the new content.
Yes, you can definitely exclude pages from optimization either individually or in bulk!
We have taken great care to ensure that FastPixel plugin won’t interfere with other themes, plugins or widgets, minimizing the chances of compatibility issues. Despite our best efforts to mitigate the risks, considering the vast array of hosting providers, along with tens of thousands of plugins and themes available in the WordPress ecosystem, occasional conflicts with other plugins or widgets are possible. If you encounter any issues or suspect interference with other plugins or widgets, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Yes, a caching plugin is essential for speeding up your website and improving its performance!
Caching plugins in WordPress improve website performance by storing static versions of your pages, reducing server load, and speeding up load times. This enhances user experience, boosts SEO rankings, and can handle higher traffic more efficiently.
If you’re using this plugin alongside other caching tools like WP Rocket, LiteSpeed Cache, WP Optimize or W3 Total Cache, make sure to disable them to make this one work at the best performance.
Our plugin integrates with an external service via dedicated API endpoints. This process involves sending a request with specific data to the server API endpoint, which then queues and processes the request to generate HTML content. Once your request reaches the front of the queue, the service processes the data, generates the HTML content based on the specified URL, and then sends the HTML back to the plugin using the provided postback URL. The plugin automatically receives the generated HTML content and saves it to the disk on your WordPress installation. This process is designed to be seamless and requires no manual intervention.
Example data sent to server API endpoint ‘https://api.fastpixel.io/api/v1/enqueue’ to request HTML page generation:
{
"url":"https://example.com/",
"postbackUrl":"https://example.com/wp-json/fastpixel-website-accelerator/v1/update",
"settings":{
"modules":{
"ScriptRewrite":{
"enabled":true,
"settings":{
"exclude":{
"strings":[],
"regexps":[]
},
"eventHandlersRewrite":false,
"excludeGDPR":true
},
"injectBootstrapScripts":true,
"rdelay":0
},
"ImageRewrite":{
"enabled":true,
"settings":{
"forceImageDimensions":false
}
},
"ReducedFonts":{
"settings":{
"soft":true
}
}
},
"imageQuality":"lossy",
"cropImages":false
},
"plugin_version":"1.0.22",
"siteKey":"randomKey"
}
Also there are two enpoints on external service:
https://api.fastpixel.io/api/v1/purge_all – this endpoint is used to request pages cache. Url is put into queue and once your request reaches the front of the queue, service processes request. Service request page and parse it to get list of links to other pages. Pages from this list are requested too. New html pages will be prepared and send back to wordpress installation for all pages from the list.
Example data sent to server API endpoint ‘https://api.fastpixel.io/api/v1/purge_all’ to request HTML page generation:
{
"url":"https://example.com/",
"siteKey":"randomKey"
}
https://api.fastpixel.io/api/v1/detect_endpoints – this endpoint is used to check which rest api route is available, /wp-json/fastpixel-website-accelerator/v1/update or ?rest_route=/fastpixel-website-accelerator/v1/update. Response from this endpoint return list of available endpoints and first item from this list is saved for future use. This endpoint is used only if default rest api endpoint is not available.
Example data sent to server API endpoint ‘https://api.fastpixel.io/api/v1/detect_endpoints’ to request HTML page generation:
{
"url":"https://example.com/",
"siteKey":"randomKey"
}
More information can be found on https://fastpixel.io
Security Measures
We prioritize your security and privacy. All communications between the plugin and the external service are encrypted, ensuring that your data remains private and secure. Furthermore, the plugin securely stores the generated HTML content on your disk, adhering to the highest data protection standards.
