Performance & Caching Plugins

Speed up and declutter your website in a jiffy with very little effort

WP Rocket helps you in speeding up your website by enabling caching. It’s a super user-friendly plugin for WordPress that can be installed and used by literally any individual without any technical skills. It launches instantly as soon as you hit the “Activate” button, with no complex settings or waiting time.

With that being said, while it being easy for everybody, there are also deep settings and options which you can choose to configure in order to achieve maximum results.

It uses page caching to speed up your loading time and cache preloading to improve the indexing of your website on search engines. Along with that, you can also make use of their static file compression that decreases the weight of your code with the help of minification.

Since images play a huge part in slowing down your website if not optimized properly, WP Rocket has a feature that loads your images only when the visitors scroll down. This prevents unnecessary loading and jamming through media files.

It’s also important to mention that this plugin is totally developer-friendly. It has a bunch of hooks that’ll allow developers to make advanced customizations.

Apart from reduced page load time, you’ll potentially see a major improvement in search engine rankings and overall site performance. It also improves server performance and helps you drastically cut down on bandwidth usage, thanks to the minification of codes.
