Simply head over to the *Speed Kit* tab and check *enabled* next to *Speed Kit Integration*. Baqend Speed Kit accelerates your existing website by rerouting the requests through Baqend's caching infrastructure. Using the configuration described in this document, it works for any WordPress website and achieves a performance boost of typically 50-300%. = Why Speed Kit? = Page load time is money. This is not only true for companies like Amazon that loses more than 1.3B USD in revenue per year, if their website is a 10th of a second slower. It is also true for publishers, whose business model depends on a user experience that facilitates consumption of as much content as possible. However, many brands, publishers, and e-commerce businesses have heterogeneous and complex technology stacks that make it extremely hard to tackle performance, scalability, and page load time. Novel browser technologies now offer a means of making web performance as simple as including a script. Baqend has developed **Speed Kit** that directly hooks into an existing website and makes it **50-300% faster**. Therefore, Speed Kit uses [Service Workers](https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/getting-started/primers/service-workers) which come with a **browser support of \> 75%** and automatically enable an **offline mode** for users of your website. Because it **works for any website**, it is the perfect solution for Publishers, Landing Pages, E-Commerce, Brands, and Agencies. = Hosting = The WordPress plugin also makes it very easy to use **Baqend Hosting**. A static copy of your WordPress page is created and published via our cloud. Performance enhancements of 50-500% are possible since Baqend's cloud technology relies on the latest standards, a very good network infrastructure and efficient browser caching. == Installation == = Within WordPress = 1.
