General Questions
What is WP Rocket?
WP Rocket is a caching and performance optimization plugin to improve the loading speed of WordPress websites. You can install and configure WP Rocket in less than 3 minutes!
Why is a fast site important?
A fast site is important primarily for visitors who may leave a website that is too slow, but also for SEO performance since search engines consider website speed as a ranking factor.
What makes WP Rocket better than other caching plugins?
WP Rocket integrates all the latest features in terms of performance: lazy loading of images, deferred loading of JavaScript, concatenation and minification of CSS and JavaScript files. We also have a preload and sitemap preload feature, so that when human visitors come to your site, they immediately get the fast, cached version of the page.
While being extremely complete, WP Rocket is also very simple to configure even for beginners. Unlike other plugins, you don’t need to be a rocket scientist to configure ours.
You can review the most popular WordPress alternatives and choose the best caching plugin or check out our comparison pages to understand what makes WP Rocket different: WP Rocket vs. W3 Total Cache, WP Rocket vs. WP Fastest Cache, and WP Rocket vs. WP Super Cache.
You can also take a look at our latest comparison pages: Hummingbird vs. WP Rocket, LiteSpeed Cache vs. WP Rocket, and NitroPack vs. WP Rocket.
Can I switch easily from other caching plugins, like W3 Total Cache or WP Super Cache to WP Rocket?
Yes, It is easy to do. Any caching plugin you are using has to be disabled through your admin panel before setting up WP Rocket, to avoid conflicts.
If WP Super Cache is not working or W3 Total Cache breaks your site, you can be sure that WP Rocket will make things easier.

What are performance ratings?
Performance ratings are mainly indicators of good practices. Ratings tools check that the optimizations have been made. These ratings do not indicate, however, the actual speed of a site. Good ratings do not guarantee a fast site and vice versa. The actual page load time is the most important metric to look at.
Can WP Rocket help me optimize Core Web Vitals?
Absolutely! WP Rocket will help you improve all the Core Web Vitals metrics: the Largest Contentful Paint, the First Input Delay, and the Cumulative Layout Shift.
You’ll definitely give a boost to your PageSpeed Insights grade!

Can I use WP Rocket on my customers’ websites?
Yes, you can use our Infinite License to set up WP Rocket on your customers’ websites, unless you are offering hosting services. We also have an Affiliate program that you might be interested in.
Can I use the Single License on subdomains / subfolders?
Yes! Your top level domain will count as one website, so you can use the plugin on subdomains and installation subfolders. You can find detailed information on this matter here: How many sites is my license key valid for?
Can I upgrade my License?
Yes, you can upgrade your License if you wish to use WP Rocket on more websites, and you will only pay for the difference between the two plans.
To do so, you need to log into your WP Rocket account and go to the License tab. Once you scroll down, you will see the option to Speed up More Websites by upgrading to the Plus or Infinite.
Please keep in mind that upgrading increases the number of websites you can use the plugin on, but it does not affect the expiration date. If your License is expired or will expire soon, you should renew first to extend the valid period at a lower rate.
I upgraded my License but the expiration date did not change!
When you upgrade your License, you increase the number of websites you can use WP Rocket on, but the expiration date will not change. If you upgraded an expired or almost expiring License, please contact us for assistance.
What happens when the License expires?
You will receive an email reminding you that the License expires, offering you to renew. This ensures that you will continue to receive plugin updates and access to support.
The latest version of WP Rocket released at this point will continue to operate on your website(s).
Do you offer Lifetime Licenses?
No, we do not have Lifetime Licenses. All our Licenses are valid for 12 months.
Our Infinite License refers to the number of websites WP Rocket can be used on, but it still needs yearly renewal for continuous access to technical support and plugin updates.
