## Description

Amigo Performance combines modern UI design with proven performance techniques. 
The plugin introduces an advanced per-page asset manager, configurable minification,
and streamlined lazy loading controls so that agencies, developers, and site owners
can fine-tune front-end delivery with confidence.

### Key capabilities

**Advanced Asset Manager (updated in v3.3)**
 – Page-level grouping with redesigned
accordions for faster navigation – Compact card layout that highlights enabled versus
disabled assets – Bulk enable/disable controls with detailed statistics, progress
rings, and empty-state guidance – One-click restore workflow to undo problematic
dequeues

**Minification controls (introduced in v3.3)**
 – CSS and JavaScript minification
pipelines with cached outputs – Automatic fallbacks to original files to ensure 
safe rollbacks

**Foundational performance switches**
 – Remove query strings from static assets
to improve cache hit rates – Remove WordPress emoji scripts and styles to eliminate
unnecessary payloads – Defer non-critical JavaScript execution – Modern image and
iframe lazy loading modules

**Security and quality focus**
 – Capability checks, nonce validation, and fully
escaped output for all admin pages – Modular architecture with dedicated service
classes and logging utilities

### Benefits

 * Lower time-to-first-byte and faster visual completion thanks to smaller payloads
 * Improved PageSpeed Insights and Core Web Vitals scores across desktop and mobile
 * Reduced troubleshooting time through visual asset discovery and per-page isolation
 * Predictable workflows that fit agency handoffs and enterprise maintenance plans

### Support

 * Documentation: refer to the in-plugin guidance and knowledge base articles
 * GitHub Issues: report reproducible bugs or request improvements
 * WordPress.org forums: community-driven assistance

Thank you for using Amigo Performance. Professional feedback and reviews help guide
future releases.

## Installation

### Automatic installation

 1. Sign in to the WordPress admin area.
 2. Navigate to Plugins  Add New and search for “Amigo Performance”.
 3. Click Install Now, then Activate.
 4. Open Performance in the admin menu to configure the plugin.

### Manual installation

 1. Download the plugin package and extract it.
 2. Upload the `amigo-performance` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`.
 3. Activate “Amigo Performance” from the Plugins screen.
 4. Configure the available modules from Performance  Amigo Performance.

### Initial configuration checklist

 1. In the Basic tab, enable the foundational toggles (query string removal, emoji 
    removal, defer, lazy loading) that match your caching stack.
 2. Use the Asset Manager from the admin menu or admin bar to inspect per-page assets.
    Disable unnecessary CSS or JavaScript and test the page immediately.
 3. Enable CSS and/or JS minification if you want automatic compression handled by 
    the plugin. Amigo Performance caches minified versions while keeping original files
    untouched.
 4. Review the “How to Use” guidance from the dashboard whenever no assets are managed
    yet—this on-screen documentation is designed for onboarding additional team members.

## FAQ

### Does Amigo Performance work with caching plugins?

Yes. It complements caching and CDN layers by focusing on payload reduction, dequeues,
and lazy loading. Common combinations include WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, and object
caching stacks.

### Can I use it with page builders and WooCommerce?

Absolutely. The asset manager works on any front-end route, including builder-generated
layouts and WooCommerce templates. Each asset change is scoped to the specific page
URL you manage.

### How do I revert changes if a dequeue causes issues?

Every managed asset can be re-enabled from the Asset Manager or deleted entirely.
Deleting an asset entry removes only the record in the Amigo Performance table—it
does not delete files from disk.

### How much improvement should I expect?

Sites typically see 20–40 percent faster initial load times and double-digit gains
in Google PageSpeed Insights, but results depend on the existing code base and hosting
provider.

It’s simple but it does what it promises. It looks like a new plugin but it works
100% to remove versions of JS and CSS remove emoji and you can use it with your 
cache plugin. I am the first to evaluate this plugin and I don’t usually do it with
a new plugin without many active installations. But this one deserves it, I took
the test.
