johan 37e5497923 Flatten marketing paths ahead of wiring up the websites
Drop the redundant documentation/marketing/ nesting inherited from the
plugin repos, so files sit at marketing/<plugin>/<page>.md. These paths
become raw URLs pasted into Elementor pages and ACF fields, so they are
much cheaper to change now than once sites reference them.

Fixes the four cross-plugin links for their new depth, and corrects the
README, which still pointed at the abandoned per-repo documentation/
folders instead of this repo.

Dotjuice Pagespeed

A free, professional-grade performance plugin for WordPress. Full-page caching, CSS/JS optimisation, image lazy loading, database cleanup, and Core Web Vitals improvements — all from one dashboard, no configuration expertise required.

Why WordPress sites are slow by default

Every time an anonymous visitor loads a WordPress page, the server rebuilds it from scratch: dozens of database queries, PHP execution for the theme and every active plugin, then the HTML is assembled and sent. Do that for every visitor, every time, and even a well-built site struggles to load in under a second — which matters, because page speed affects both how visitors experience your site and how Google ranks it.

Dotjuice Pagespeed attacks this from every angle a real optimisation audit would cover:

What's included

Full-page caching — the biggest single win. Once a page is built, it's saved as a static file and served directly, skipping WordPress, the database, and PHP entirely on repeat visits. This is what takes a server response time from around a second down to a few milliseconds.

CSS & JavaScript optimisation — combines and minifies your stylesheets and scripts, removes render-blocking CSS from the critical path, and defers or delays JavaScript that doesn't need to run immediately — all without breaking Elementor, WooCommerce, or the other plugins your site depends on.

Smart image loading — modern native lazy loading for everything below the fold, paired with automatic priority loading for your hero image so the Largest Contentful Paint metric that Google measures isn't accidentally delayed.

HTML & resource hints — HTML minification, removal of WordPress's default emoji and embed scripts nobody asked for, DNS prefetching, and preconnect hints that shave milliseconds off every third-party request.

Preloading — automatic cache warming the moment you publish, so your first real visitor never pays the "cold cache" tax, plus a one-click sitemap preload for warming your entire site at once.

Database housekeeping — clears out the post revisions, spam comments, and expired transients that quietly bloat every WordPress database over time, with both one-click cleanup and a scheduled autopilot mode.

Built for real WordPress sites — every optimisation is written to work alongside Elementor, WooCommerce, and the plugin ecosystem, not against it. Scripts with dependencies, localized data, or webpack bundles are automatically detected and left untouched rather than broken.

The result

A faster time-to-first-byte, fewer render-blocking requests, better Core Web Vitals scores, and a leaner database — delivered through sensible defaults that work out of the box, with room to fine-tune every setting as you learn what your site needs.
