A thousand pages don’t need a thousand optimizations. Airlift finds repeatable templates and optimizes them instead of treating every URL as a separate job.

  1. 01

    Find the pattern

    Identify pages that share the same WordPress structure.

  2. 02

    Optimize the template

    Build the optimization around a representative page.

  3. 03

    Scale across the site

    Apply the result to every page that genuinely matches.

  4. 04

    The exceptions stay safe

    Pages with unique layouts or page-specific CSS stay separate, and get the optimization that’s safe for them.

Explore template intelligence

Every layer, tuned for faster WordPress

You cleared the cache.
Your visitors didn’t.

Stale pages survive at your host, in Varnish, at Cloudflare. Airlift purges every layer it’s connected to, so publishing something actually publishes it.

How caching works

A shorter trip
to every visitor

Airlift delivers optimized images, CSS, JavaScript and fonts through the CDN, closer to where your visitors are.

Explore CDN delivery

Smaller fonts
with a safety net

Self-hosted, converted to WOFF2, and loaded with only the characters your page uses, so your text arrives with the page instead of flashing in late.

Font optimization

The right image
for every screen

Airlift discovers images hiding in page-builder CSS, inline styles, data attributes, and plugin markup, then preloads what’s above the fold and resizes the rest for the device asking.

Image optimization

Only the CSS
each page needs

Your theme ships stylesheets for features you’ve never touched. Your builder ships more. Airlift works out what each template genuinely needs and drops the rest.

Your page loads first · scripts run after interaction

Interact with the page to load the JavaScript

Your content shouldn’t
wait on a chat widget.

Analytics, popups, support widgets: none of it needs to load before your page does. Airlift holds them back until someone actually interacts.

Questions, answered

No. Add your site, install the plugin and click optimize — Airlift decides what each page needs and applies the right optimizations across images, CSS, JavaScript, fonts, caching and delivery. There is nothing to configure unless you want to.

Yes. Airlift optimizes the final rendered output of your pages, so it works with the stack you already run — Elementor, Divi, Oxygen, Beaver Builder, WooCommerce, WPML and more.

Airlift covers caching, file optimization and delivery in one stack, so a separate optimization plugin is not needed. We recommend disabling overlapping plugins to avoid processing the same assets twice.

Airlift applies safe, layout-aware defaults — it ships the CSS a page actually uses, keeps text stable while fonts load, and preserves image dimensions to avoid shifts. Every layer can be toggled individually if you want tighter control.

The free plan runs the full optimization stack on a limited number of pages and images — enough to see the difference on your own site. No card required.

Yes. Airlift works at the template level, so new and updated pages inherit the optimizations of the layout they share — your site stays fast as content grows, without re-doing the work.

Let’s get your site back to launch-day fast.

Install Airlift, see exactly what is slowing your site down, and let the right optimizations take over from there.
