### About this Plugin

JCH Optimize improves the performance of your website by performing several optimizations to the HTML page aimed at improving the Web Vitals measured by PageSpeed Insights, such as First Contentful Paint (FCP), Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), Speed Index (SI), Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS), Time to Interactive (TTI), and Total Blocking Time (TBT). These metrics attempt to quantify the quality of the user experience. JCH Optimize can improve these metrics to provide a better experience for your users and improve your PageSpeed scores.

### Static WordPress Challenge

This plugin depends on live, request-time WordPress/PHP functionality such as sessions, authenticated visitors, or dynamic endpoints. Its core visitor-facing features do not work on a static WordPress site. Neither Simply Static Pro nor Static Studio changes that compatibility verdict. Use a separate hosted, headless, or external service if the plugin's use case offers one.

### Frequently Asked Questions

Is JCH Optimize compatible with Simply Static?

No. JCH Optimize requires live, request-time WordPress functionality and cannot operate as a static site. Simply Static Pro and Static Studio do not change that compatibility verdict.

Can a paid Simply Static product make JCH Optimize compatible?

No. Neither Simply Static Pro nor Static Studio can turn JCH Optimize's session-based or request-time PHP functionality into a static-site feature. A separate headless or external service would be a different implementation.

Does JCH Optimize affect static build times?

JCH Optimize has approximately 4,000 active installs. Plugins with complex shortcodes or dynamic blocks may add minor overhead to the static generation pass.

How often is this compatibility data updated?

All plugins are re-scanned monthly. Scans run five analysis passes including an AI classifier. The last tested date at the top of this page reflects the most recent scan.
