Quick Start
If you want the safest setup path for a new site, start by installing and activating FastMe, then enter your license key. Allow the plugin to complete its first-time setup and checks before changing any optimization settings.
What FastMe Does
FastMe is a WordPress performance plugin designed to improve how a website loads and feels during real-world usage. It focuses on practical front-end optimizations that can help reduce loading delays and improve overall browsing performance.
Who This Guide Is For
This guide does not assume deep developer knowledge. Where technical setup is needed, the steps are written in plain language first.
Before You Install
Before activating FastMe on a live website, create a full backup so the site can be restored if needed. When possible, test FastMe on a staging environment before enabling it on a production website.
