Installment of Riised Performance©
You can install Riised Performance© in two different ways: Automatic or Manual.
Download Riised Performance©
When you have bought Riised Performance©, it’s possible for you to download a zip file from our Riised account page.
Note: If you are using Safari as a browser, there is a chance it will automatically unzip the file.You should either re-zip it or follow the following instructions.
Disable the Automatic Un-Zip Function in Safari
If you use the Automatic installment option for Riised Performance©, ie. installing our plugin within the WordPress dashboard, you have to begin with the downloaded plugin zip-file. If you are using Safari, then it might automatically un-zip the file, which can cause confusion.
If this happens, go to Safari > Preferences and un-check the option “Open safe files after downloading”. After you have done this, you can download the file without it getting un-zipped and, thus, continue with the installation.
Automatic Installation
Automatic installation is the fastest way you can install Riised Performance©.
The way you can automatically install the Riised Performance© plugin is to go to the WordPress admin page of your website. After this you go to “Plugin” -> “Add new” and after that “Upload Plugin”.
Here you choose the downloaded zip file and then “Install Now”. WordPress will then ask you if you are sure that you want to install the plugin. Choose “Yes” and WordPress automatically installs the plugin.
After you’ve done this and activated the plugin, it’s ready to be used in the plugin settings panel.
Manual Installation
If you want to manually install the plugin, it can be done by uploading all the different files to your website’s server through FTP software.
First you un-zip the downloaded file. Then you upload the entire folder to “wp content/plugins” directory.
After this you simply activate the plugin inside your WordPress admin. When activated, you can use it through the settings panel.
Getting started with Riised Performance©
When you have Riised Performance© installed and activated, the first thing we recommend you do is to run an ON/OFF test with our Riised default settings. You should be able to see a drastic increase in your website’s speed already.
Just from the default settings of Riised Performance©, you will be able to see that the loading time of your site has been improved. If you have advanced knowledge of how website rendering works within a browser, then you can use the plugin to optimize further on the plugin setup based on recommendations from professional testing tools, which could be Google Developers PageSpeed Insights or Pingdom Tools. If the different tools give different results, then it is a good idea to stick to one tool, so that you are consistently testing your tool with the same method.
Recommended settings for Riised Performance©
We do not have one specific recommended configuration for Riised Performance© as hosting environments, plugins and themes can vary a lot from site to site. For that reason, different settings will work in different ways on different sites.
For example, there are settings like “File optimization” which can help a lot on some sites and not at all on others. In some cases, leaving specific settings completely off can be the best thing to do. But, there are also several different key features, which includes JS Minification, WebP support and CSS Minification and these are 100% automated. You just have to turn them on and then they will do all the work for you – making your site faster and you don’t have to do a thing.
Features that are automated
In Riised Performance©, the following features are completely automated:
- Enabling WebP support
- Control of image quality
- Lazy Loading

Updating Riised Performance©
You can update Riised Performance© in two different ways: manual and automatic. If your license is expired, it can be renewed on the account page.
Manual Update
There are two different ways to do the update manually.
Updating Riised Performance© via FTP
- Enter your account page and download the newest Riised version.
- Unzip the file, upload it to the “wp-content/plugins” directory.
Updating Riised Performance© via WP Admin
After downloading the Riised Performance© file, go into your WordPress Admin Dashboard and follow these two simple steps:
- Go to “Plugins”, deactivate and delete Riised Performance©.
- Then, Refresh the page -> Add new -> Upload. Here you upload the .zip file and activate the plugin.
Automatic Update
To automatically update your plugin, go to the plugin page in your WP Dashboard.
Below the Riised Performance© entry, you will find an update notification. Click – Update now.
If there is no update notification, wait a couple of hours and try again.
In the WordPress admin, go to Dashboard -> updates and click “Check again”. This will sometimes make the notification show up.
If none of these attempts are successful, your server might be blocking our update system, and you should, thus, use the manual update method.
Missing Update Notification
It can happen that the update notification for Riised Performance© does not show up at all in the WordPress admin. There is luckily a method you can use to force the Riised update notification to show up.
To do this, go to the Plugins page in Wordpess, and add the following to the URL:
?riised_force_update=1
It will, thus, look like this if you have a .com URL:
http://example.com/wp-admin/plugins.php?riised_force_update=1
When scrolling down you should now see an update next to Riised Performace©.
Can’t Install or Upload Riised Performance©
Is the following error message showing up when you are trying to upload Riised Performance© through the WordPress dashboard?
“The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini.”
The meaning of this message is that your site has a limit on the file size you can upload to it. This might be a limitation set by your host. Our Riised zip file is slightly larger than 2MB which means that if you have a limit of 2MB you will see this error message.
Quick Fix
You can automatically resolve this by installing the plugin “Increase Max Upload Filesize”:
If this plugin does not automatically fix the problem, there are some other options:
- Installing Riised Performance© through uploading it via FTP.
- Increase the upload limit via your host.
- If you have the skills to edit files, you can manually increase the upload limit by following the steps below.
Manual Fix
By using one of the directives below you can manually increase the defined limit. The method can be different from case to case, depending on what server setup and host you use. It is, thus, not necessary that you edit all these different files – just one of them that works for your website.
In the examples below, “10M” represents a file size limit of 10MB. The number can be set at whatever number you want to, but it always makes sense to not make it too high.
Before you start editing your files – make sure to take a backup of them!
.HTACCESS
php_value upload_max_filesize 10M
PHP.INI FILE
If the host you are using makes it possible for you to modify the websites configurations with custom php.ini files, you could use:
upload_max_filesize = 10M
WP-CONFIG.PHP
@ini_set(úpload_max_size`,`10M`);
FUNCTIONS.PHP
Are you using a child theme, the following instructions can be added to the functions file:
@ini_set(ùpload_max_size`,`10M`);
CHECK YOUR CURRENT UPLOAD LIMIT
When you have done one of these things and want to see if you successfully have increased the upload limit, you can check what the website’s current limit is.
Go to: Media -> Add New
Right beneath the upload area, there should be a text “Maximum upload file size:”
If the limit has not changed after trying these methods, then you need to contact your host.

How do I find the best settings for my site?
You have now Riised Performance© activated on your site. But maybe you are wondering: How do I find the best settings to achieve the best results for my site?
All sites have different plugins, different themes and different content. For that reason the best settings are different from site to site. We will now go in depth with safe and good ways to experiment with the Riised Performance© settings on your website.
The end goal is of course to make your website faster. But it is important to remember that activating more options does not necessarily make your website faster. So you do not have to turn everything on to get the best results.
In order to see if your site is getting faster, you should use a tool to test load times on your site. You can do this with tools like Google Developers PageSpeed Insights or GTMetrix. They can test load times and give you a detailed report on your site.
The best way to approach it is to take some benchmark speed tests before you start configuration and then new tests once you are done doing optimizations.
Best configuration practices
When you test the different options in Riised, follow this process:
- Activate one option at a time – instead of everything at once
- After you activate one option, go check your site in a browser window where you are logged out of WordPress. This could e.g. be done with an incognito window. By following this method you can make sure to notice if any option causes an issue with your website.
- Check different types of pages on the website. If something looks off, you don’t have to panic. Simply disable the latest option you activated and your website will be normal again.
How to get started with configuration
General > Image optimization
Lazy loading can be enabled for videos, I-frames and images. We always recommend activating our LazyLoad as it helps reduce the negative performance impact that images create. With LazyLoad the images only load as the visitor scrolls down the page and needs to see them.
If you want to, you can also enable automatic optimization when you upload them to WordPress, and exclude images from it.
CSS > CSS optimization
Riised can be used to minify your CSS files through CSS Minification. Within minification you can create a set of rules and it is even possible to exclude CSS files from the minification process if you want to. It is also possible to select when to load secondary CSS and if you want to delay it.
Javascript > JS optimization
You can activate JS Minifcation to instruct Riised Performance© to minimize your JavaScript files. It is as well possible to Defer Parsing og JavaScript and exclude JS from combining. It is also possible to specify when combined JavaScript should be loaded and the amount of time JS tags should be delayed by.
The General Settings
