WP-OPTIMIZE (WP-Optimize vs WP Fastest Cache)
WP-OPTIMIZE REVIEW
We start in this WP-OPtimize vs WP Fastest Cache comparison with WP-Optimize which does not automatically mean that it would be better. Let's take a look at what WP-Optimize has to offer. The plug-in's specialization is to optimize the Wordpress database, and it is one of the best cache plug-ins. Basically the opposite of WP-Rocket wat in de eerste plaats een cache plug-in is die ook uw database optimaliseert.

WP-OPTIMIZE CLEAN DATABASE
The redundant content in the website that the plugin removes is exactly the same as with WP-Rocket, namely revisions, transients, unnecessary drafts and unnecessary comments. The fact that trackbacks and pingbacks are removed is unique.
It is of course advisable to always have a fairly recent backup of your database somewhere. This is only necessary if your server is not backing up your entire account.
COMPRESS IMAGES
You can set the degree to which your images are compressed. Better yet is to use a program like Imagify which actually adjusts the images and offers visitors WebP-images.
LAZY LOAD
Apart from the compression, it is definitely recommended to switch Lazy Load on (PRO version). The Premium version offers several extras that make it a top plug-in, although the free version is certainly okay.
PAGE CACHE
Again, WP-Optimize offers the same as WP-Rocket. You can generate separate files for mobile, there is a separate cache for logged in visitors, the cache life can be set. You can find our WP-Rocket review here.
WP-OPTIMIZE FREE VERSION
You can download the free version here. Although the premium version is of course a lot better and gives you the possibility to set all actions of WP-Optimize on time and date and gives full support, the free version should certainly not be underestimated. See in the image above how 900,000 people have downloaded this plugin and it has an amazing rating.
WP-OPTIMIZE PREMIUM PRICING
Especially for people with 2 websites, this top cache and database clean-up plug-in is cheap. The prices are generally reasonable.
WP-OPTIMIZE REVIEW CONCLUSION
This plugin is certainly worth its money in terms of cache and database cleaning, let's say it has all that one can dream of. Everything is very clear and can be used by inexperienced website builders without any problems. If something is not clear, you can solve this quickly via their great support staff.
WP FASTEST CACHE (WP-Optimize vs WP Fastest Cache)
WP FASTEST CACHE REVIEW
In this WP-Optimize vs WP Fastest Cache comparison, we now discuss the free and premium versions of WP Fastest Cache. As for WP Fastest Cache, we should definitely start with the fantastic rating it has on Wordpress.org and the 1.7 million downloads of their free plugin. It's not for nothing that the score is so high, I have years of experience with this plug-in and is still my favorite for free cache plug-ins.
WP FASTEST CACHE RATINGS
See the ratings and downloads for WP Fastest Cache above.
WP FASTEST CACHE SPEEDTEST
I tested a clean Wordpress install with and without the plug-in on GT-Metrix, one of the most renowned speedtests out there and you can see the results below. In seconds the loading time is halved and the total score is from 78 to 99 points. This is a great result for a cache plugin.

With WP Fastest Cache
WP FASTEST CACHE BASIC SETTINGS
We should definitely draw attention in this WP Fastest Cache review to the fact that after installing the plugin, everything will work right away and your site will be much faster. Above you saw what has been activated without you having to do anything about it. The ease of installation is the same as with the professional and highest rated cache-plug-in WP-Rocket.
WP FASTEST CACHE PREMIUM VERSION
Below is a list of everything that the premium version offers. In short, everything that other top plugins also offer. Nothing is missing, the premium version is a lot better than the free version which is already very good as we saw in the speed test.
The most important things are minifying for all your css and js and combining the files. Images must of course also be optimized. I think these features should also be included in the free version. Also very important is Render-Blocking JS so that not all javascript is already loaded if not yet needed. And Lazy Load is also a very useful feature for which there are tons of free plugins so why not just have it in the free version of WP Fastest cache.
WP FASTEST CACHE REVIEW: PRICING
The premium version is priced at $ 49 per site, with multi-site discounts. WP Fastest Cache is complete and a very good plugin yet for the same money I would prefer WP-Rocket, the number 1 in my collection best cache plugins. WP-Rocket is a bit faster and the dashboard looks much better. All in all, a more professional plugin for the same money.
WP-Optimize vs WP Fastest Cache conclusion
Thanks for reading this WP-Optimize vs WP Fastest Cache comparison to the end. In terms of dashboard convenience and design, WP-Optimize is a bit nicer for me. Both plug-ins optimize your website without having to set much up, out-of-the-box. Regarding the free versions, WP-Optimize has more to offer in terms of important functions, as soon as we talk about the premium versions, they are equivalent in my opinion. All in all, I would choose both the free and premium version for WP-Optimize. WP-Optimize is also a bit cheaper.
