- Reduces the number of requests required by a site, reducing latency and increasing performance
- No changes needed to clients: The RPO is a server component. Nothing needs to be installed on the web browser clients.
- Page-by-page or the entire site: You can configure the RPO optimize a single page, a number of pages or the entire site.
- Stealth mode: You can leave the site unoptimized for regular users, while testing and tuning the optimization just for yourself
- Single server or load balanced: The RPO works in both single server and load-balanced environments
- Include, exclude or strip files
- Browser aware: Optimizations are automatically turned on or off depending on the client's browser
- Cache management: Optimized resources are cached on the server and web browser clients
- Automated or manual setup
- Sprite management: Create sprite libraries that you can reference from JS or HTML
- Customizable configuration
