It was introduced around seven years ago and was recommended by WordPress gurus a year after its release. The plugin\u2019s developers had a vision of bringing everything a WordPress user needs without overwhelming them with an overwhelming list of configurations and requiring manual<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> tweaks to start seeing results. In this post, we are going to check how well it performs and whether it is worth the price!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The plugin developers claim that 80% of the best performance practices are set by default upon plugin activation. Given its popularity, we are excited to put this statement to the test! If you are a maximalist and would like to push this even further, this post offers thoughts and recommendations on this plugin&#8217;s settings that we believe may give you the<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> extra bit of performance you need!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To show WP-Rocket\u2019s capabilities in a more objective manner, we have performed a test using a theme deployed by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/avada.theme-fusion.com\/\">Avada<\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which is very similar to fleshed-out production websites.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-how-to-install\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_To_Install\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How To Install<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As this is a premium WordPress caching solution, it is licensed, and before you can proceed with the installation, you need to purchase it from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/wp-rocket.me\/pricing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">WP-Rocket&#8217;s official website<\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

This option reduces their size and boosts the loading speed of your pages.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Optimize Google Fonts <\/strong>&#8211; This is an excellent option if your site utilizes Google Fonts<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> heavily. <\/span><span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">It will combine all requests to\u00a0<strong>fonts.static.com<\/strong>\u00a0into <span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">a single request and add the \u201c<strong>preconnect<\/strong>\u201d resource hint to preload the font domain&#8217;s DNS zone<\/span>.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Finally, it will also add the display=swap parameter to your HTTP request, making your text load along with the font. You should enable this if you have a text on your pages that you want your visitors to read immediately &#8211; for instance, if you have a webshop and have an ad campaign going.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Minify CSS files\u00a0<\/strong>&#8211; This is a risky option that may not work well on all websites. It removes unnecessary characters from your\u00a0CSS\u00a0files, making<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> them smaller. Thus, they are delivered quickly to the visitor\u2019s browser. Typically, this option contributed more to the actual page score than speed, and we believe that it is worth activating it when your website uses <\/span><b>A LOT<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of <\/span><b>CSS<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The performance benefits would be more distinguishable.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Combine CSS files <\/strong>&#8211; We strongly advise you to avoid this setting, as it often causes FAUC (Flash of Unstyled Content) issues on sites. You may have faced this before when you saw a page\u2019s text displayed in an unstyled manner, and after a few seconds (or even minutes), all the styles appeared. If you host your websites with HostArmada, you have an even stronger<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> incentive to keep it disabled.
