Through constructive co-operation last year, the popular WP plugin, WP Rocket, has been optimized for WPX’s custom technology platform – something that will deliver even greater page loading speed AND Core Web Vitals scores for WPX customers running WP Rocket.
WP Rocket is the #1 WordPress Caching Plugin. With 2.6M+ websites in orbit. WordPress experts recommend WP Rocket as the best WordPress caching plugin to achieve incredible speed results, improve your PageSpeed score and optimize your Core Web Vitals.
If you didn’t know how fast WPX has performed in independent tests, you can check that out here, and you can learn more about the way that WP Rocket works here.
Putting WPX and WP Rocket together is like Batman and Robin teaming up (but which is which?) – really good on their own but incredible when combined.
Bottom line? Combining the superpowers of WPX Partnership with WP Rocket means even more SPEED.
Now if you’re into the technogeekery of this new duo, here is what you should know:
- WP Rocket has been optimized to work with WPX’s own custom, high speed CDN, the XDN, and vice-versa
- Improved auto-cleaning of the WPX XDN with optimized caching parameters
- Fine tuning of WP Rocket’s Cache Preload feature so that when a visitor first visits your site, the content of the page is already loaded and ready to be displayed, resulting in even faster page loading times
- Further minification of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files on your website for faster fetching
- Lazy Loading option in WP Rocket to only load images when they are present on the visitor’s screen
- WP Rocket also comes with a database optimization tool that helps optimization of your site’s database
The following modifications were also introduced in order for WPX and WP Rocket to function seamlessly together:
- Varnish add-on automatically enabled to ensure synchronized cache clearing
- htaccess HTML expires rule disabled to allow CDN’s improved caching
- Preload disabled by default to avoid CPU issues (but can be enabled by request via WPX support)
In short, WPX and WP Rocket BOTH share a core commitment to innovation, speed optimization and simplicity of operation and it is our hope that this new partnership will continue for many years to come.
