WP-Rocket review - Fastest Cache Plug-in [2024] 💥
WP-ROCKET REVIEW
In this WP-Rocket review, I want to emphasize that it stands out among other cache plugins due to its user-friendly approach and superior performance. While some plugins like W3 Total Cache can be time-consuming with complex settings, WP-Rocket takes a different approach by offering a hassle-free experience without compromising speed.
With WP-Rocket, you can achieve optimal website performance without the need for extensive configuration. It is known for its speed and efficiency, making it faster than many other cache plugins available. The plugin is designed with simplicity in mind, ensuring that even beginners can easily understand and implement its settings. Unlike other plugins that offer both free and premium versions, WP-Rocket is exclusively available as a premium plugin, requiring a payment for its features and support.
Currently, WP-Rocket has gained popularity and is trusted by over 1.2 million websites worldwide. Its widespread adoption is a testament to its effectiveness in boosting website speed and overall performance. Whether you're a novice or an experienced user, WP-Rocket offers a reliable caching solution that delivers exceptional results.
Having a lightning-fast website ensures more visitors who are also more satisfied with your site. Furthermore, it has a very beneficial effect on conversion and SERP, or better results in Google searches. I don't think it necessary to say that this is well worth paying $ 49 for it.

WP-ROCKET SPEEDTESTS
Below I show you 2 speed test where it can clearly be seen that especially the loading time improves enormously by using the WP-Rocket cache plug-in. The improvement concerns no less than 70%. This is no guarantee from me that this will be the case for every site, but at least 40-50% will always be the case.
EASY TO USE
The developers of WP-Rocket have done their best to keep the plug-in as simple as possible and it worked out very well. Everyone is able to configure this plug-in as best they can. Most things work out-of-the-box after installing WP-Rocket. The rest is beautifully divided into chapters and checking the boxes here and there is enough to set everything up optimally.
If there are things that you do not immediately understand, just consult the videos that explain everything in scents and colors. These videos are accessible from the dashboard in the plugin as well as dozens of articles.
As can be seen above: a wonderful feature is to be able to chat with the WP-Rocket helpdesk from the dashboard of the plug-in. There is no need to go to their site.
DOES MORE THAN OTHER PLUG-INS
WP-Rocket offers a maximum of functions, while everything remains very easy to operate.
WP-ROCKET REVIEW CACHE
WP-Rocket already has cache good by default, but here you have additional settings for caching on mobile devices, the expiration time of the cache. Cache files older than the set lifetime are deleted and re-cached. The plug-in even offers User Cache with which you can set cache for logged in visitors.
WP-ROCKET OPTIMIZE FILES
The chapter "optimizing files" is quite large. You can set everything here for combining (concatenation) and minifying css and javascript files. I'm trying to keep this WP-Rocket review concise, if you don't know what minifying or concatenation is, click on these links.
The option "load javascript deferred" is something most competitor plugins do not have and something very important to Google. JS files are thus only loaded at the end after the rest of the page is already visible. See here what defer means.
WP-ROCKET LAZY-LOAD & WEBP
Lazy load means that images are loaded blurry and then become sharper. Also, images that are not displayed on the page are loaded later. In this way, images appear almost immediately, which makes visitors happy.
WebP is a type of image file which is 30% smaller than jpeg. Be sure to activate this if you are not using Imagify. Imagify optimizes images for you, I'll get to this later.
WP-ROCKET DATABASE
If desired, WP-Rocket immediately cleans your website of excess ballast. This ensures an optimized database which makes your site slightly faster. Aside from revisions, trash posts, and drafts as seen below, WP-Rocket also removes the following for you: spam comments, comments you deleted, and temporary files. It also optimizes the tables in your database for you. You can indicate a time at which this will happen with the planner.
WP-ROCKET PLUG-IN REVIEW: CDN
Through WP-Rocket you can choose to use their own CDN for a fee of $ 8 per month. In the chapter "Add-ons" you can use Cloudflare for free. Since WP-Rocket is prepared for this, the installation of both CDNs is very easy.
WP-ROCKET ADD-ONS
WP-Rocket also works perfectly with Facebook, Google Analytics (Statistics for visitors), Varnish (Server cache-program), Sucuri (Website Security), and like said before Cloudflare (CDN). In this WP-Rocket plug-in review we have to give full marks for this.
OPTIMIZE IMAGES
Here you can find another add-on: Imagify. Imagify is perfect for optimizing your images. Even if you already did that yourself, Imagify makes everything even smaller. Among other things, by replacing all images with WEBP images. Imagify can be used for free up to so many images but it doesn't cost too much anyway. This saves you a lot of work and ensures a better SERP ranking as it makes your site a lot faster.
TOOLS
In the chapter "Tools" you will find the possibilities to export and import the complete settings of the plug-in. If you have several websites, you can simply take over the settings and you do not have to set anything at all. It is also possible to undo this after upgrading the plug-in.
WP-ROCKET REVIEW CONCLUSION
For starters, thank you for reading my WP-Rocket review to the end. It will have become clear to you that WP-Rocket is the cream of the crop when it comes to cache plug-ins. It works perfectly with all other known tools for Wordpress. Setting up the plugin is extremely easy and it is also the fastest plugin you can find. WP-Rocket is well worth the $ 49 charged for it.
