Please be safe when testing and try on a staging or cloned site instead of a live site. Give Airlift a try here - lytboxacademy.com/airlift/
The first speed optimization plugin that actually works 100%. TNKS!!!!!!!!
Hey I'm from the plugin team - so glad to see this comment
Yes!
Holy guacamole! This plugin rocks! I am going to use it on all websites 🙂 Thank you for sharing it with us!
That’s great! Make sure to test on your staging sites first though 😉
Thanks for sharing this!! I’ll definitely try it 💯
That's great! Let us know how it works. I'm interested to hear results from others
Oh and cool profile Pic. Looks like my puppy Primcess Leia 😉
As always, excellent work with your videos, thank you very much for sharing this plugin, I will try it right now!
Awesome! Let us know how it works for you
Hi I'm from the AirLift team....was it a good experience for you? :)
Thank you Jeffrey. I will test it out. Please create another video and tell us about your testing results. Thanks again
Awesome!
Will def checkout!
Awesome!
Excellent content :)
Thank! 🙏
Cool I am using it for last couple of months
Good to hear!
Thanks for this Jeffrey. My first concern is that it's done externally to the website. It makes me nervous to have that extra layer - what happens if they go down? And, how does it handle cache refreshes while making changes to pages, posts, etc.? How about when migrating a site, does the optimization then have to be recreated?
Great questions! For the new pages and posts, they get optimized in the 24 hour cycle scans. I'll have to get back to you on the other questions
Hi Ron! I'm from the AirLift team. I agree with Jeffery, these are really helpful questions that will help us communicate better in future...I'll try to answer them concisely -
1. About dependency - this is a longer answer, but in lieu of keeping it short, the summary is that we've built many failsafes to ensure that there are limited dependencies between our servers and your sites. This way your sites are fine even if our servers blow up :p
2. About cache - at regular intervals our servers check changes on the site & auto clear the cache + we also provide a "clear cache" button inside wp-admin
3. About Migration - If migrating to a new server without changing the domain/url, our system automatically sets up the optimisations. When changing domain/url, you need to install it again by pasting the new url (like the first time)
Your concern should be the actually do not mention the word Free once on their website. After you create an account, under billing you can see the prices. one website $199/year , 3 websites $449/year and 5 websites $749/year
@@computergrej that’s something different from their other products and an error in the UI. I already brought it up with the Airlift team and they are supposed to be fixing that. I got the confirmation from the founder that all the current Airlift features will remain always free. Later, they will have a pro plan that includes more features.
@@LytboxStudioThat's awesome...
For now I leave it on, because the speed index looks better than Seraphinite Accelerator. To be continued :-)
Glad to see it's working
Tested and the score improves considerably. Thank you so much.
Here I have some observations.
Background images do not load until activity is detected on the website by a visitor.
Elementor motion animations don't activate until site activity from visitors is detected.
That is, if a user enters the site and does not scroll through the page (desktop) or scrolls (mobile), the site is not displayed correctly.
Making changes to the plugin dashboard takes a long time to apply.
Thank you very much for the video and it is a plugin that provides a lot of value, especially considering that it is free.
yess! had same issues, but maan the score it gives is amazing! were you able to identify which settings fixes those issues?
This is useful feedback! I wonder if there’s a way to make the changes in the Airlift dashboard that takes effect immediately for bi-passing URLs being cached or minified. It’s a great question for the Airlift team who’s been active helping in the comments here.
@@payzievrustam I understand that locating the javascript file that is responsible for the Elementor movement effects and including it in the exceptions list in the plugin configuration should solve it. The solution I have opted for due to lack of time is to remove the motion effect until I have time to locate the javasript.
With the issue of images, what I have done is add them to the Lazy Loading exclusion list, you can find that option in the "Optimization Settings/Images/Exclude Specific URLs from Lazy Loading" section.
@@LytboxStudio Thank you for your videos, they add a lot of value to the community.
@@emilitovaldes2716 thanks 🙏
Tested on a couple of sites, wow, what an easy setup. Litespeed has so many settings and Airlift is performing better. Question, do we need Imagify or another image optimizer if we use Airlift, or does it handle it all?
Airlift does have the image optimizations
nice sharing
Thanks 🙏
Airlift does heavy lifting when it comes to optimization but it's a little too hard on every setting. 8 out of 10 sites I have tried it on had problems after. Mobile menu could not open, wrong css design, booking calendar with javascript not working, background video not working etc. Watch out when using this. Already gave Airlift a comment :-)
The Airlift team is listening and all this feedback is really helpful. I’ll send updates if I hear from them.
Wow and it's free!
I like free 🤣
Well safe to say this is the first time i got my website to load under 3 secs
Share your site in the Lytbox Community and I'm sure we can share suggestions to make it load faster
Just tested out and WOWWWWWW optimization works beautifully! As long as I see optimization begins immediately, this means that if I won't like my images to be more optimized (sometimes for loosen quality on some sites that need a real good quality images) there's no option for that, right? That's my main concern now.
Thanks :)
There are options to turn off image optimizations in the Airlift dashboard but I still need to test more.
@@LytboxStudio I haven't seen that option on Image under optimization site settings.... I just see the following options:
- Lazyload images
- Disable Creation of Picture Tags for Images
- Lazyloading of non-viewport picture tags
- Preload Specific image url matches
Is located somewhere else?
Thanks!
@@gabrielk5497 hopefully the Airlift team takes all this feedback for future updates. I’d like to see options to turn off image optimizations in case if using other image optimizing tools.
@@LytboxStudio thanks!
Its good for the numbers. Helps alot. But is it creating an optimized copy of my website another server and not actually optimizing the orignal website?
Great question. I made sure to ask Airlift about this for privacy reasons and got the confirmation that they aren't taking data.
When signing up, are their usage limits of any kind applied if I install Airlift on several of the websites I manage?
Nope it's unlimited sites
This plugin works.. but I'm not sure why the scores get low after a certain amount of time even though I don't make any changes to the website. Can anyone let me know if this happens to you too?
That’s odd. I’ll have to keep and eye on it
I have the same problem did you manage to figure it out or are you using anything else now?
will an advertising airflit footer be added after installation?
It better not! lol 😅 I didn't see anything like that and would have abandoned the project if I did see it
Hi I'm from the AirLift team - please rest assured that no footer/other marketing badges will be added :)
Is that safe to use on clients websites that sales very good in e-commerce??😊
Fir sure test first on a staging
This is truly impressive - however it stripped out my fonts... I'm guessing the settings might need some tweaking. Is this plugin free for ONLY one site - or is the free version for any number of sites?
Hi Gene, I'm from the AirLift team. I'd look at the font settings...or click the support button for help. And yes, AirLift is free for multiple sites.
How did you add your fonts? Were they already woff2?
@wpdev if Turing off the fonts option in the Airlift dashboard, will this take effect immediately on the site or during the next scan/update that happens daily?
I tried the plugin on my site and the score is the best of all plugins so far!! But some headings can´t load until the visitor interacts with the page, and also some icons don't appear, and one page is completely broken (especially on mobile and tablet), so I have a bit of mixed feelings
I'm sure the Airlift team can help with this @wpdev
I'm having the same issue. Uninstalling for now.
Live testing Airlift as I'm writing this, not so good! On desktop got a blank hero header for a while, then it moves on but the image is blurry?
I wouldn't test on a live site. Give a try on a staging and play with the settings. Also, check in with the Airlift team, they've been helpful
Maybe I'm doing something wrong. I am already a Malcare user and I love it, but when I go to add AirLift it says no such plugin exists. And when I download it from the site, its Malcare instead of AirLift.What am I doing wrong?
It's the back end. The Blog Vault team already acknowledged the UI needs to get fixed. Since you're already in their ecosystem you should reach out to their support and hopefully gets fixed soon,
it is disabling analytics and other important Adsense code. any idea how to change that?
Hopefully the Airlift team and get this sorted.
What about on a multi site Wordpress.
Haven't tested it yet
Impressive. Is it really free?
It is! If you go to the other features on the dashboard like backups. You'll see paid plans and upgrades but those are for something else and the Airlift team confirmed they need to fix the UI back there. Only what's in the performance block is free. They'll have a pro version later but that will include newer features like CDNs
Hi I'm from the AirLift team! Jeffery put it really well so I won't rehash this. Hope AirLift was able to help you?
@@wpdev. Yes, It's a game changer
The optimization works, however it breaks forms with reCaptcha, disappears headings in popup and breaks the elementor menu in popup.
The Airlift can help with this @wpdev
using this plugin gives me a problem. After i publish a blog it doesn't show on the blog page. when i deactivate the plugin and activate it again then the blog post appears. What to do?
Let's see of the Airlift team can help with this
It's only optimized the home page, the other pages become a really slow. You can't add or choose urls to optimize. Mobile menu stop working to.
Let's see if the Airlift team can check this out
Just tried it. Seems like it installed and loaded ok, but site no longer worked at all.
Had to remove it completely to get site back up.
That’s not good. Definitely reach out to the Airlift team to see what caused this. I’ll be running more testing on cloned sites later and send updates on my end
Hi I'm from the AirLift team - I'm so sorry you had a bad experience! Our support generally fixes any issues within 24 hours...or you can share your user email ID and I'll fast forward this
Isn't it actually cheating if the JS simply doesn't load for page speed? You can check it with Def console, no JS is loaded until an interaction is executed
Fair question. This is how optimization plug-ins work by differing js until the page is fully loaded or interacted with. Trucking the system is showing minor page speed increases but high GPS scores.
Hi! How can I handle custom orders in WooCommerce and upload files to a customer's account after payment? I want to keep everything on the website without using email.
That’s a whole other tutorial and I’d need to know more details and what you’re trying to achieve.
Check out the User Switching plugin. It’s a must for e-comm sites so you can login and manage the customer’s account for support. I’d need to understand better to help out here.
@@LytboxStudio I provide design services as a digital product, but made-to-order. The user will purchase the product, and after I finish the design file, I will upload it to their account so they can download it.
@@AlAA-jc5ve got it. You should research Woo plugins. I am sure there are options to help with this but will take some time researching. Even I would need to research to find the right solution.
Well it sort of works. Firefox good, Chrome and Safari bad. Unfortunate as I really like how it is setup. Also, no tech support really. Or. they are just overwhelmed.
Maybe the latter, sounds like they are taking all the feedback and working things out.
@@LytboxStudio Have not had one tech support reply other than an automated response. It’s not ready for prime time in my opinion.
@@Jimsoda that's not good. I feel the same. I tested on a couple of site but after hearing the feedback in the comments I can see it needs more tuning. I did speak with the founder and they are determined making this work and taking all the feedback in. The support might be slow from being overwhelmed, just a guess
I lost all my webpage desing
Try clearing the cache and in yiur settings under Stylesheet, disable Dynamic Used CSS. Also, test this on a staging site or cloned site. It optimizes aggressively and there is most likely a css file that needs to have cache disabled or the dynamic css turned off
Thanks! I will try again.
@@carlosvitola3334 Let me know how it goes and if there's anything I can do to help.
Hi Carlos...did this get fixed for you? If not, maybe you can share the user email ID and I can help (I'm from the AirLift team)
Critical error on my site. Be careful.
Must be a conflict. Please reach out to the Airlift team so they can check it out and fix it.
@@LytboxStudio Hmm, I had the WP Super Cache plugin activated, what I did was delete the Airlift plugin via FTP, the site came back to life, I uninstalled the cache plugin and tried again by reinstalling Airlift. This time everything worked as expected. I tried it with another site and everything worked fine. Amazing. Thanks for the recommendation.

Hey that's very worrying. I'm from the AirLift team....did our support help you out? Otherwise maybe share your user email & I'll help
I'm shocked!! How do they do this???🤔😲. After installing the plugin, my speed became 100x100!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍💥❤
Same here, I tested a couple sites and it was crazy. Not only the test results but overall feeling snappy
Bait & switch. Instead of Airlift, it installed a malware scanner and tried to sell me things I didn't want. BE CAREFUL !!! 🤬
For real?
I ran several test and this never happened to me. I woildnt show anything dodgy. You must have went down a wrong direction. This is the same team that creates Malcare, Blog Vault, and WP Remote. They've earned their credibility. With that said. The UI is confusing. It's why I showed to only go to the Performace block in the dashboard. The other blocks like back ups, security, up time monitoring are all for their other plug-ins. Sound like you went through one of those.
@@LytboxStudio Sorry, I didn't want to imply you were at fault. I've spent some looking into what was happening. As it turns out I have used Blogvault to remove malware from a clients site in the past. What is happening is when I try to log in and check our Airlift, it recognizes my account and moves me into the Blogvault dashboard. I can not get to Airlift from that dashboard. I'm stuck since the email I used is associated with my website. I never saw what your video showed. I would say that their UI is garbage. I do enjoy your videos and have gained from them. Unfortunately this time was a miss for me.
I just wanted to add here: it happeds to me too but because i already had malcare account, you need to register with a new email. Then you will get the airlift account you see here
Hi Paul, I'm from the AirLift team. This happens if you're using the same email ID you previously used with one of our plugins before (MalCare, BlogVault, WPRemote). Just use a new email ID. I know it's a lame bug, we're working on removing this!
This broke my entire site. I couldn't even log-in anymore.👎
Man so sorry to hear this! There's an option in the Airlift dashboard to disable Airlift. This should bearing your site back.
I should have mentioned in the video to test on a staging or cloned site first. There's some serious optimizations happening and can conflict with other plug-ins. The Airlift team is following all the comments and around to help.
@@LytboxStudio I tried everything to recover, nothing worked. There was nothing I could do other than restore a backup..
@JurgenMorel good thing you had a back up but it shouldn't come to that. It would help to let the Airlift team figure out what happened.
You did give me an idea though for my next video 'Testing and bug fixing for WordPress' I already scheduled this for next week.
Let me know if there's anything I can do to help
@@LytboxStudio I will wait for your new video and then try again.
Hi Jurgen...this sounds very bad. If you click the support button in the dashboard, I can assure that they'll fix this for you & explain what happened. If you're too pissed for that, I can also help if you share the user email
