WP Performance

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.

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:

• 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.
