AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
WP Performance is a category-leading WordPress app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Cache category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 28 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.

How WP Performance works
Show full descriptionShow less
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

HTML

Database

Tools

One-click presets – Safe, Balanced, Aggressive
Restore points – roll back to your last five saved configurations
Troubleshooting log with a live viewer

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.
Add-ons

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
