WP Rocket is a paid plug-in, but the functions it provides are also very comprehensive, including:

• Page Cache: Creates a temporary copy, loaded from disk, which is faster than hitting WordPress’ database every time.
• Cache preloading: Does not wait for visitors to create a cached copy, making the user experience faster.
• Sitemap preloading: Check all pages to ensure that every important page is always cached.

• Database Optimization: Remove bloated and redundant stuff from the WP database, making it slower.
• Google Font Optimization: Optimize downloads of popular fonts to make them faster to access.
• Remove query strings for static resources: This is a technique that ensures files are cached and measured correctly.
• Lazy loading: This is another technique that ensures that images are only loaded when the user scrolls down the page to a specific image, ensuring a faster experience.
• Minimize/Concatenate: Reduce the size and weight of static files by removing useless content and minimizing requests.
• Delay JS loading: Push Javascript to the end of the loading timeline to ensure users can see the website load quickly.
• Cloudflare compatible: Can be integrated with Cloudflare to quickly enable the service.
• CDN: Seamlessly integrated with content delivery networks such as StackPath/MaxCDN.
