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

Combine CSS files
Load CSS without blocking the page
Remove unused CSS, per page

Combine Google Fonts, or host them on your own server

JavaScript

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:

Cache block – add the “Cache” block in the editor and put any blocks inside it
Shortcode – [wpp_cache ttl="600"]...[/wpp_cache]
PHP – in a template:

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.
