How do I add or remove an EdgeSpeed application in Fasterize?

Introduction

EdgeSpeed applications are at the heart of Fasterize's optimization engine. Each application corresponds to a family of frontend web optimizations: cache management, CSS and JavaScript compression, image optimization, lazy loading, HTML minification, etc.

From the site configuration interface, you can easily enable or disable these applications as needed. In this article, we show you how to do this step by step.

Where can I find EdgeSpeed applications?

Once logged in to your Fasterize interface, go to:

Console > EdgeSpeed > Configuration > Applications

You will see the applications currently active on your site, in the form of individual cards.

• Each card represents an application (e.g., Resource Cache, Images, HTML).
• You will also see a summary of its main role (lazyload, SmartCache, minification, etc.).

💡 Tip: This view gives you a quick overview of the optimizations already in place on your site.

How do I add an EdgeSpeed application?

There is only one way to add a new EdgeSpeed application:

Since the site was set up

• Click on "Add an app" at the top right of the Apps tab.
• A window opens with a list of available applications that have not yet been activated.
• Simply click on the one you want to install (e.g., Smart Loading, Edge Rewriter).

⚠️ To add an application, you must have administrative rights for the organization. If the button does not appear, contact an administrator.

How do I remove an EdgeSpeed application?

Want to disable an optimization that is no longer needed or clean up your configuration? Here's how to do it:

• In the Applications tab, locate the application you want to delete.
• Click on the three dots at the top right of the map
• Select "Delete"
• Confirm the action

💡 An application is deleted immediately: the associated rules and optimizations are no longer applied.

What happens after adding or deleting?

• An added application is immediately displayed in your configuration. You can then configure it, disable it on certain pages, or adapt it using targeted rules.
• A deleted application disappears from the configuration, and all its rules become inactive.

💡 You can always reinstall it later if necessary.

Conclusion

Adding or removing EdgeSpeed applications allows you to independently adjust the optimizations active on your site in real time.

Consider:

• Check your rights if an option does not appear
• Use the dedicated button to activate new features
• Properly disable optimizations you no longer need

By mastering application management, you gain agility to control the performance of your web pages.
