<\/span><b>WP-Rocket<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It was introduced around seven years ago and has been recommended by WordPress gurus a year after its release. The plugin\u2019s developers had a vision of bringing everything a WordPress user needs without them having to go through an overwhelming list of configurations and manually applying tweaks to start seeing results. In this post, we are going to check how good it performs, and whether it is worth the price!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The plugin developers claim that <\/span><b>80% of the best performance practices<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are set by default upon the 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 will give you thoughts and recommendations regarding the settings for this plugin that we believe may give you that extra bit of performance you need!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><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<h2><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<p><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;\">.

We advise you to flush the cache, each time you change a setting for the plugin.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Preload Cache <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Preloading allows WP-Rocket to generate cached versions of your pages so that visitors can access them faster. The plugin deploys with this feature enabled by default, and it will immediately start preloading the cache when activated. If you want WP-Rocket to start preloading, please press this button. This feature is excellent to use, right after you have done a cache flush.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Purge Opcache <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; When you execute a PHP script (for example, access your website) and if the <\/span><b>opcache<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> PHP extension is enabled, the code compiles into opcode that is understandable by the server.

This content is critical for your website as it is the first thing the visitor will observe, and it needs to make an impression, and most importantly &#8211; load quickly, thus, improving the UX. The CSS inside the \u201c<\/span><b>above-the-fold<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d area of the site is the Critical CSS(CCSS). Getting it to load inline with the rest of your scripts can improve the loading of your page and remove the \u201cEliminate Render-Blocking Resources\u201d error in popular web performance testing sites, such as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/gtmetrix.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">GTmetrix<\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/tools.pingdom.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pingdom<\/a><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<li><b>Minify CSS files <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; This is a hazardous option which will not fair well with all website.
