W3 total cache vs wp rocket plugin
caching pages with preload options
integrating with redis & memcached as object cache.
wp rocket also has redis extension.
why should we use wp rocket @$49 instead of w3tc
page caching with preloaded update on site map similar.
wp rocket database optimization with w3tc +wp optimize (Db optimize plugins)
Google font optimization how it works?
defer js loading w3tc we need to manually identify & put them body.(other plugins may helps)
DNS prefetching!
3rd party websites fonts, jQuery etc
my reason all features at one plugin.
also the nginx rocket plugin helps directly serve static files.
How ?
default nginx>>fastcgi cache >>miss>>wp rocket cache
with rocket nginx conf
nginx>>rocket cached directory>>fastcgi>>database.
2nd google font & defer js (google pagespeed)
I given try with this plugin.
another reason complexity of w3tc & simplicity of wp super cache.
minification & concatenation
minifying js or css reduces the file size faster serving as well as bandwidth saving.
concatenation helps to reduces request count less connections to server.
http2 push pushes all the files at once .
Most important thing is how to use efficiently?
How to use wp rocket for max performance?
one click setup available.
page cache expiry:
10 hours to unlimited
which one to choose, it’s unlimited because there is a preload option to check modified posts, based on sitemap date it’s good idea.
preload: runs in background so it’s need some memory.
Browser caching
I am familiar with w3tc browser caching, I didn’t notice with wp rocket. It should be enabled at sever level, otherwise or yiu can customise for your website only.
