AjaxPress – Single Page Application, Ajax Navigation & Persistent Media Player
A true Single Page Application (SPA) plugin – no coding, no configuration.
Stop losing visitors to slow page loads. AjaxPress replaces full page reloads with instant ajax navigation, giving your site a blazing-fast, app-like experience that keeps users engaged and coming back.
👉 Unlock Pro Features – Advanced features & priority support
💨 Instant page loads. Visitors get zero-delay page transitions with smooth navigation – no white screens, no waiting, no frustration. Lower bounce rates, longer sessions.
🎵 Audio and video never stop. Live streams, podcasts, and music keep playing seamlessly while users browse. A game-changer for radio stations, podcast networks, and music platforms.
How It Works
AjaxPress intercepts internal link clicks and loads the next page over ajax instead of a full browser reload. Real URLs are preserved via the History API, the page title and head metadata (canonical, OpenGraph, JSON-LD) are synced on every navigation, and back/forward buttons work exactly as expected. Search engines crawl your site normally – nothing changes for SEO.

Source Code
The JavaScript that runs on your site is minified for size. The unminified source it is built from ships inside the plugin, under src/, along with the Vite configs and package.json needed to rebuild it. src/frontend/ builds public/js/ajaxpress.min.js and src/admin/ builds public/js/admin.min.js, both with Vite.
From the plugin folder:
npm install
npx vite build --config ./src/frontend/vite.config.js
npx vite build --config ./src/admin/vite.config.js
Privacy & External Services
AjaxPress does not send anything anywhere on its own. Nothing below runs unless you turn it on or connect it, and none of it touches your visitors: no data from your site’s frontend is ever collected.
PackEdge (diagnostics, licensing and feedback)
Optionally, and only with your explicit consent, AjaxPress can share non-confidential diagnostic data (such as PHP and WordPress version and plugin settings) with api.packedge.dev so we can reproduce and fix issues faster. You can review exactly what is shared and opt out at any time. PackEdge also handles Pro license activation. See the PackEdge site and privacy policy.
Cloudflare (edge caching, optional)
If you connect a Cloudflare account on the Cache screen, AjaxPress talks to the Cloudflare API at api.cloudflare.com on your behalf to read zones and manage caching rules for your site. Nothing is sent to Cloudflare until you connect. See the Cloudflare privacy policy and terms.
If you use the one-click “Connect with Cloudflare” option, the authorization step passes through an OAuth relay we operate at ajaxpress-oauth.astory.workers.dev. The relay exists so the OAuth client secret never has to ship inside the plugin. It exchanges the authorization code for a token and hands it back to your site; the token is stored encrypted in your database. You can skip the relay entirely by pasting your own Cloudflare API token instead, which never leaves your server except to Cloudflare.
Deactivation feedback (optional)
If you fill in the short form shown when deactivating AjaxPress, the reason, your comment and your site URL are sent to arraystory.com. Submitting the form is entirely optional, and no username or personal account data is included. Closing the dialog sends nothing.
