Steps to Installation
Is your site running on the WordPress platform? If so, then the Ezoic Wordpress plugin is one possible method of connecting and integrating your site to Ezoic.
It is slower than cloud integration, so we do recommend that you take advantage of either name server or Cloudflare integration if possible, however we also advise that you install and activate Ezoic's WordPress plugin before / after doing so - this will allow you to take advantage of the plugin's CDN management settings, and optimizations for Leap, without affecting your website speed!
For those who prefer not to use cloud integration, Ezoic's WordPress plugin will still enable you to easily use the Ezoic platform on your WordPress site and send a % of your website traffic to Ezoic versions. You can then get started using our A.I. to learn from your visitors’ behavior and adapt ad combinations and layouts to suit each unique user.
Please keep in mind that Wordpress Plugin Integration may not be the best option when using Leap. We recommend using Cloud Integration (Name Server Integration or Cloudflare Integration) as these allow you to use Ezoic's caching services. The WordPress plugin will deliver a fast site without exception, but the plugin itself adds some additional load time that is not optimal for the highest scores in Google.
Please note our SSL app is not currently compatible with the Ezoic WordPress plugin. Therefore, if you would like to use this app (in your Dashboard under the Privacy tab), we suggest using Cloud Integration (Name Server or Cloudflare Integration) instead.
1. Make sure you have the most up to date version of WordPress. If you don't, we recommend upgrading Wordpress to at least 4.3 to ensure that the Ezoic plugin functions correctly after you enable it.
