## Description
WP Performance makes your WordPress site load faster without the headache. Turn
on a few options and the plugin handles caching, asset optimization, and image delivery
for you.
Not sure where to start? Open the **Overview** tab and pick a one-click preset (
Safe, Balanced, or Aggressive). You can fine-tune anything afterwards.
Version 2.0 is a complete rebuild with a fast new dashboard and no third-party dependencies.
Everything below works together out of the box.
### Caching
* **Page cache** – serves a static HTML copy of each page, before WordPress even
loads
* **Block cache** – cache just the slow parts of a page, even on pages you can’t
fully cache (more below)
* **Cache preloading** – warm the cache from your sitemap
* **Browser caching** – tells browsers to keep files so repeat visits are instant
* **GZIP compression** – sends smaller files to the browser
* **Object cache** – optional Redis drop-in to cut database load
* **Smart by default** – skips logged-in users and WooCommerce/EDD cart pages,
and ignores tracking parameters (utm, gclid, fbclid) so clean URLs share one
cache
* **Mobile cache** – keep a separate copy for mobile devices when you need it
### CSS
* Minify CSS (inline and files)
* Combine CSS files
* Load CSS without blocking the page
* Remove unused CSS, per page
* Critical CSS
* Combine Google Fonts, or host them on your own server
* Control font loading (font-display)
* DNS prefetch and preconnect hints
### JavaScript
* Minify JavaScript (inline and files)
* Combine JavaScript files
* Defer JavaScript
* Delay JavaScript until the visitor interacts (great for third-party scripts)
* Disable scripts you don’t need, site-wide or per page
### HTML
* Minify HTML
* Remove comments and unneeded markup
### Images and media
* Lazy load images and videos (uses native browser lazy loading)
* Responsive images
* Add missing width and height to stop layout shift (better CLS)
* Preload your largest image and set fetchpriority for a faster LCP
* Convert images to WebP and AVIF
* Custom image sizes and one-click thumbnail regeneration
* Disable emojis and embeds
### Database
* Clean up revisions, auto-drafts, trash, spam, transients, and stale cron tasks
* Schedule cleanups daily, weekly, or monthly
### CDN
* Rewrite asset URLs to your CDN, with exclusions
### Tools
* **Overview dashboard** with environment health checks
* **One-click presets** – Safe, Balanced, Aggressive
* **Restore points** – roll back to your last five saved configurations
* **Troubleshooting log** with a live viewer
* **Export and import** your settings
* **Per-page exclusions** from the post editor
* **WP-CLI** commands
* **Multisite** support
### Block cache
Block cache stores the rendered output of a section of a page and reuses it, even
on pages that are not fully cached (like logged-in or dynamic pages). Use it three
ways:
1. **Cache block** – add the “Cache” block in the editor and put any blocks inside
it
2. **Shortcode** – `[wpp_cache ttl="600"]...[/wpp_cache]`
3. **PHP** – in a template:
4. if ( wpp_cache_start( ‘sidebar’, [ ‘ttl’ => 3600 ] ) ) { expensive_render(); wpp_cache_end();}
You choose how long to cache and whether to keep a separate copy per page, per device,
per role, or for logged-in visitors.
### Add-ons
* **Cloudflare** – purge cache and control Cloudflare settings
* **Varnish** – auto-purge Varnish cache
* **Prefetch** – prefetch links on hover for instant navigation
### WP-CLI
* `wp wpp flush` – clear the page cache
* `wp wpp flush-blocks` – clear the block cache
* `wp wpp enable` – enable WP Performance
* `wp wpp disable` – temporarily disable WP Performance
* `wp wpp cleanup []` – run a database cleanup (all, trash, spam, revisions,
autodrafts, transients, cron)
### Languages
* English
* Hrvatski (Croatian)

## Blocks
This plugin provides 1 block.
* Wpp Cache
## Installation
1. Upload the “wp-performance” folder to “/wp-content/plugins/”
2. Activate the plugin from the Plugins menu in WordPress
3. Open WP Performance and apply a preset from the Overview tab, or turn on the options
you want
If you already used an older version, your existing settings are migrated automatically.
## FAQ
### Where do I start?
Open the Overview tab and apply a preset. Safe is risk-free, Balanced suits most
sites, and Aggressive turns everything on (test your site afterwards).
### What is the block cache for?
It caches just one section of a page. That is useful on pages you can’t fully cache,
like a logged-in dashboard, where one part (a menu, a product grid) is still expensive
to build every time.
### Does it work with Nginx?
Yes. WP Performance generates the Nginx rules for you and shows them under Settings.
Copy them into your server config and reload Nginx.
### Does it support Multisite?
Yes.
### Do I need Redis?
No. Redis is optional. If it is available, you can enable the object cache for an
extra speed boost; everything else works without it.
### Where can I get help?

## Reviews
### [Solid cache plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/solid-cache-plugin/)
[treeflips](https://profiles.wordpress.org/treeflips/) 1, Avientu de 2020
Great speed, beautifully simple UI. Can do basic caching or even more advanced caching.
Most of all, it worked well for my use. I’m typically a LiteSpeed Cache and Swift
user…but really enjoyed this one. Thanks for such a great free cache plugin.
### [Great page caching plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-page-caching-plugin/)
[Nawawi Jamili](https://profiles.wordpress.org/nawawijamili/) 8, Payares de 2020
Thank you for your great work. I have got a great experience while using it.

[Stephanie](https://profiles.wordpress.org/icysteph/) 8, Agostu de 2020 1 reply
I want to say that it worked but my site still feel the same and I’ve activated
the essentials so I don’t know what to say. If I can get a reply back from the developer,
that’ll be nice. It says CSS not found and Javascript not found.

I’ve tried all caching and minifying plugins available on WordPress.org and CodeCanyon.
WP-Performance is easily my favorite. Can’t recommend it enough.
