What does it mean to “optimize” your website?
Optimizing your website is the process of using tools, strategies, experiments, and analyses to improve your website’s performance with the end goal to drive more traffic to your website, increase conversions, and grow revenue.

What is Hosthab Optimized?
Hosthab Optimized is a WordPress optimizer. It combines various ideal WordPress configurations to enhance website performance and increase security.
Performance-enhancing
Hosthab’s motto is “our speed, your success” and Hosthab Optimized is no exception. Our plugin enhances speed with:
- Page caching – storing copies of your web pages in a temporary storage location for quicker access.
- Object caching – storing database query results in a temporary storage location for quicker access.
- Minifying (minimizing code) for HTML, CSS, and Javascript) in your web pages and script files.
- GZip data compression – takes chunks of data and makes it smaller.
Secure
Secondly, Hosthab Optimized is secure by:
- Denying direct access to configuration files.
- Preventing bots from submitting to comment forms.
- Cutting off the file editor in wp-admin.
- Preventing plugins and themes from wp-admin tampering.
- Disabling other bot-targeted services like XML-RPC.
Hosthab Optimized configures difficult settings so you don’t have to. If you’re not technically savvy, installing the W3 Total Cache plugin may prove challenging. But when Memcached is enabled for WordPress, Hosthab Optimized automatically installs the plugin for you.
Hosthab Optimized combines the best caching features and enhanced security configurations making it the ideal WordPress plugin. And an extra bonus, it’s free and just as easy to install as it is to uninstall, so give it a try today to see if it’s right for you!
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can I use Hosthab Optimized with any host?

Will Hosthab Optimized make all of my sites faster? That’s a guarantee?
Hosthab Optimized does speed up sites the majority of the time, but not all plugins and themes are created equal.
If your site is slower after enabling caching in Hosthab Optimized, ensure you’re using the best plugins for your website by speaking with a developer.

Hosthab Optimized is compatible with the majority of features in WordFence, but we recommend disabling caching and logging in WordFence. Otherwise, if page caching in Hosthab Optimized is enabled, some WordFence features may not respond.
