WP Rocket

WP Rocket is a caching and performance plugin built for WordPress. The moment it is activated it applies the core speed settings on its own, including page caching, browser caching and compression, so it suits site owners without much technical background. Whether you run a blog, a business site or a WooCommerce store, it helps cut page load times and improve your Core Web Vitals.

Key features

Working right after activation

• Page caching, with the cache refreshed when you update content
• Cache preloading, so cached copies are ready before visitors arrive
• Browser caching and GZIP compression
• Sensitive e-commerce pages such as cart and checkout kept out of the cache
• Above-the-fold and LCP images detected and excluded from lazy loading

Settings you switch on as needed

• Minify CSS and JavaScript, optimize CSS delivery and defer JavaScript
• Delay JavaScript until user interaction to help LCP and INP
• Lazy loading for images, CSS background images, videos and iframes
• Scheduled database cleanup of revisions, drafts, comments and transients
• CDN connection plus Cloudflare, Varnish and Sucuri integrations
• Preloading from the sitemap of popular SEO plugins

What to pair with WP Rocket

WP Rocket handles page caching by itself, so do not run it next to another caching plugin. For compressing images and converting them to WebP and AVIF, Imagify Pro from the same team is a natural companion. If you want finer control, such as switching off scripts page by page, you can add Perfmatters. Just avoid turning on the same feature, like minification or delayed JavaScript, in both plugins.

License and delivery

The 1 year · 1 site option covers one WordPress site for one year, counted from the moment the license is installed and activated on your site. At checkout you enter your site address and the username and password of an administrator account. WP Rocket is installed and activated on your site with a license. This is a prepared delivery that usually takes 5 to 60 minutes, and we email you when it is done.

Try logging in with those details once before you order, because wrong details delay the setup. For your safety, create a temporary administrator for this and delete it or change its password afterwards.

More options for speed, SEO and design are in the WordPress plugins category.

1. In your WordPress dashboard, go to Users → Add New, create a temporary account with the Administrator role and log in with it once to confirm the details.
2. If your site runs another caching plugin, deactivate it.
3. At checkout, enter the site address and the temporary account's username and password.
4. Once the setup email arrives, open Settings → WP Rocket, check that the license shows as active and clear the cache once.
5. Delete the temporary administrator or change its password.
