| Browser Caching | ON, `2592000` (30 days) |
| Object Caching | ON |

### Step 1 — Apply the EXTENSIVE Preset

The fastest starting point is the built-in preset:

1. Go to **Cache Settings → General**.
2. Click the **EXTENSIVE** card.
3. Click **Save Changes**.

This configures: Full Page Caching, Browser Caching, Object Caching, Cache Preloading, HTML/CSS/JS Minification, Defer Scripts, Combine CSS, Combine JS, Gzip, Brotli, [**Mobile Caching**](https://speedygo.io/doc/mobile-caching/), Auto Purge.

Test your site before proceeding.

### Step 2 — Tune Cache Settings

**Full Page Caching** (`Cache Settings → Caching & Preloading`):

| Setting | Recommended value |
| --- | --- |
| Cache Expiry Time | `86400` |
| Exclude WooCommerce Pages | ON (if using WooCommerce) |
| Exclude URLs | Add any membership, cart, or personalised pages |

**Browser Caching:**

| Setting | Recommended value |
| --- | --- |
| Browser Cache Duration | `2592000` |

**Object Caching** (requires Redis or Memcached on server):

| Setting | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Enable Object Caching | ON |
| Cache Transients | ON |
| Cache Database Queries | ON |
| Object Cache Expiry | `3600` |

### Step 3 — Enable WebP and Lazy Load

`Cache Settings → Images & Media`

| Setting | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Enable Lazy Load | ON |
| Enable WebP | ON |
| WebP Quality | `80` |
| WebP Scope | All public content |

### Step 4 — Enable JS Interaction Delay (Pro)

`Cache Settings → Asset Optimization → JS Interaction & Compression`

JS Interaction Delay is the most aggressive setting. Apply it last and test every interactive element:

1. Toggle **JS Interaction Delay** to ON.
2. Click **Save Changes**.
3. Test: navigation, search, cart, checkout, popups, forms, sliders, chat widgets.
4. If anything breaks, disable the setting and use [**Defer Scripts**](https://speedygo.io/doc/defer-scripts/) instead.

### Step 5 — Enable CDN

`Integrations → CDN`

| Setting | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Enable CDN | ON |
| CDN Scope | Whole Site |

Click **Save Changes** — a sync starts automatically. Monitor the sync status banner.

### Step 6 — Run a PageSpeed Test

`Analytics → PageSpeed`

1. Enter your URL and Google API Key.
2. Click **Run PageSpeed Test**.
3. Review scores for mobile and desktop.
4. Compare against your pre-SpeedyGo baseline.

**Target scores:**

| Device | Target score |
| --- | --- |
| Desktop | ≥ 90 |
| Mobile | ≥ 75 (harder to achieve due to device constraints) |

### What to Exclude (Common Conflicts)

If combining or deferring causes issues, add these to the relevant exclusion lists:

**Combine JS / Defer Scripts — Exclude JS Files:**

`jquery
woocommerce
stripe
paypal
/wp-content/themes/your-theme/js/critical.js`

**Combine CSS — Exclude CSS Files:**

`elementor
divi
woocommerce
/wp-content/themes/your-theme/style-critical.css`

**Full Page Cache — Exclude URLs:**

`/cart
/checkout
/my-account
/wishlist
/members`

### Tips

> **Tip:** Export your settings (`Cache Settings → General → Import / Export → Export Settings`) after completing configuration. This gives you a backup to restore from if a future plugin update causes conflicts.

> **Tip:** Run PageSpeed tests before and after each major change. This tells you exactly which settings are responsible for score improvements.

> **Note:** Object Caching requires Redis or Memcached on your server. If your host does not provide this, skip Step 2 Object Caching settings — the other settings still apply fully.
