Installing Optimizer

You can install Optimizer for Jira Cloud in two ways; through the Atlassian Marketplace (option 1) or within Confluence using the Universal Plugin Manager (option 2).

Important: Both methods will require administrator permissions to install Optimizer on your Jira instance.

Option 1 - Atlassian Marketplace

Access the Optimizer for Jira Cloud product listing on the Atlassian Marketplace and click Try it free.

Searching for Optimizer in the built-in app marketplace in Jira.

Next, click Try it free followed by Start free trial. Once installed, you will be able to access Optimizer through the Apps drop-down menu in Jira.

Providing Optimizer with access to Jira Cloud

Like many cloud apps in the Atlassian Marketplace, permission is required for them to access appropriate information and function as you would expect.

Upon installing Optimizer, you will likely see the Access Request screen shown below before you begin using the app.

We have had a few customers contact us to clarify why domains like wp.com are listed on this access screen, and this is driven by Atlassian. Atlassian uses a number of third-party domains and subdomains for various purposes, which will display on this Access Request screen if relevant to the app you are using.

For more details about these third-party domains and subdomains, please view the related Atlassian documentation
