README

The fastest way to load pages in WordPress.

Latest version on Packagist Build status

Hyperdrive is a WordPress plugin that increases site performance using modern Web standards. Based on initial testing Hyperdrive has been shown to reduce perceived latency in the Twenty Seventeen theme by 200-300%.

Translations: Pу́сский, Español, Português

How it works

Hyperdrive uses a performance optimization technique known as Fetch Injection available in supported browsers. Fetch Injection leverages Fetch, the modern replacement for Ajax.

Installation

Several installation options are available. Choose the one which best meets your skill level and desired workflow.

Ensign

To install the plugin manually, simply:

Upload hyperdrive.php to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory,
Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress.

Lieutenant

To install and manage with Composer run the following from the WP installation directory:

composer require comfusion/hyperdrive:1.0.x-dev

The above will download the Hyperdrive beta under version control and install it directly to the /wp-content/plugins directory. Run composer update to get the new and shiny.

Commander

The only thing here you may not recognize is rupa/z:

ssh user:pass@wordpressbox.tld
z plugins
curl -O https://git.habd.as/comfusion/hyperdrive/raw/branch/master/src/hyperdrive.php
wp plugin activate hyperdrive

Todo before 1.0.0 release candidates
