WP Rocket is a WordPress performance plugin that speeds up page display through caching, compression, and file optimization. Its main benefit is reducing the work and data needed to show a page. section 5.1.2
Its main optimization features include:
- Page caching stores complete rendered pages so the browser can display them without rendering them again. section 5.1.2
- Cache preloading renders likely next pages in advance. section 5.1.2
- Code minification removes unnecessary characters, making code files smaller and faster to transmit. section 5.1.2
- File concatenation combines multiple code files, reducing the number of requests needed to render a page. section 5.1.2
Minifying whitespace
Instead of storing five blank lines in a code file, minification can represent them with a shorter notation such as “5bl,” reducing file size and bandwidth use. section 5.1.2
Check with the hosting provider before enabling caching, because the host may already cache the site. If an unexplained bug appears, temporarily disable the caching plugin to test for a plugin conflict. section 5.1.2
