      Automatic installation<\/h3>\n\n
        \n
      1. Sign in to the WordPress admin area.<\/li>\n
      2. Navigate to Plugins \u2192 Add New and search for \u201cAmigo Performance\u201d.<\/li>\n
      3. Click Install Now, then Activate.<\/li>\n
      4. Open Performance in the admin menu to configure the plugin.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

        Manual installation<\/h3>\n\n
          \n
        1. Download the plugin package and extract it.<\/li>\n
        2. Upload the amigo-performance<\/code> folder to \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code>.<\/li>\n
        3. Activate \u201cAmigo Performance\u201d from the Plugins screen.<\/li>\n
        4. Configure the available modules from Performance \u2192 Amigo Performance.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

          Initial configuration checklist<\/h3>\n\n
            \n
          1. In the Basic tab, enable the foundational toggles (query string removal, emoji removal, defer, lazy loading) that match your caching stack.<\/li>\n
          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.<\/li>\n
          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.<\/li>\n
          4. Review the \u201cHow to Use\u201d guidance from the dashboard whenever no assets are managed yet\u2014this on-screen documentation is designed for onboarding additional team members.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
            \n

            Does Amigo Performance work with caching plugins?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

            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.<\/p><\/dd>\n

            Can I use it with page builders and WooCommerce?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

            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.<\/p><\/dd>\n

            How do I revert changes if a dequeue causes issues?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

            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\u2014it does not delete files from disk.<\/p><\/dd>\n

            How much improvement should I expect?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

            Sites typically see 20\u201340 percent faster initial load times and double-digit gains in Google PageSpeed Insights, but results depend on the existing code base and hosting provider.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
