Setting up A2 Optimized

    Hi A2,

    I’m an A2 Customer on Managed VPS. Can you help me (all of us) with some advice about setting up the plugin please?

    My VPS has Litespeed and Memcached active, and Cloudflare. I also have Railgun.

    FIRST TOPIC
    In what order should we set up caching? We have menu items for Autoptimized, Performance, A2 Optimized and Litespeed inside WordPress. Some of these I’m sure override each other if they aren’t set up carefully. So can you give some advice about the order of things? For example, several of these can minify css but I’m sure that we don’t want them all to mifiy css, right?

    What I would like is some guidance to say, for example:

    “Set up Litespeed/Memcached first. Next, Set up “XYZ” but ignore any settings that are already covered by Litespeed. Next, in A2 Optimized, do XYZ. Next, in Autoptimized, set up ABC”. Some sort of guidance like this would be greatly appreciated.

    SECOND TOPIC
    As I’m an A2 hosting customer, why doesn’t the plugin recognise that Litespeed and Memcached are active? It gives a warning. Same goes for Cloudflare. Surely that is an easy fix, can you add it?

    THIRD TOPIC
    We have the three menu items with various cache purging options. On the top admin bar there’s an “A2 Optimized” link, as well as on the left admin bar. This valuable screen space isn’t doing much for us right now. My suggestion is that on the top bar you could add a dropdown menu item to A2 Optimized that would flush all applicable caches including Cloudflare in one operation. That would be a significant step forward for all of us and save a lot of time. If not, give us the option to remove the A2 Optimized link from the top bar at least please.

    I look forward to your thoughts.

    Many thanks,
    DesignServe

    Hello DesignServe,

    A2 Optimized is currently geared towards our shared hosting products and it tries to make best guess optimizations for MVPS products based on common use cases.

    If your MVPS has the cPanel module installed, you should go ahead and configure your site through that first as it will enable and configure Litespeed and base everything else on that.

    Autoptimized is not part of A2 Optimized, however you are free to use it, just disable the overlapping features within A2 Optimized if you’d rather go in that direction. You may get the “Your site is not fully optimized” warning, as we are not attempting to detect any of the countless other methods of getting the similar features from other plugins.

    As far as detecting Cloudflare, Litespeed, etc., they should be detected with the common setups outlined in our KB. Please reach out to A2Hosting Support so they can take a closer look at your account & server.

    Thank you for the feedback!
