Do you have an example of how much this really cut down your load time?

Well my load times were good but inconsistent before this, so thats why i went thru all this trouble. So no, i dont. But this gives very good load times.

Using plugins is becoming a fashion now for doing simple things...but in reality wp plugins are pain in the a$$ for wp site...i keep plugins usage to minimal...gzip can be done with htaccess, for caching use nginx server with fastcgi cache (inbuilt in nginx) and if you want more speedup you can use cloudflare as cdn...all this for free and without much fuss...

This setup on 1gb vps ($ 5 ) can very easily outsmart 8gb dedicated server ($ 80 ) easily saving you good money but only if you have developer knowledge which you can get here or online for free..

WP rocket is great when it doesn't cause problems. I bought two years of the unlimited website plan but it seems like it causes issues with the Avada theme quite often.

If you are on a Litespeed server with LSCache enabled, use Litespeed Cache Plugin. This is a total/complete tool.

If not, W3 Total Cache if you know how to tinker settings.

Has anyone compares results from the plugins vs simply using gzip?

Cloudflare makes it very simple to try out and then decide whether you keep it or not: All you have to do to switch back to normal is choosing your previous nameserver. Whether cloudflare makes sense speed-wise mostly depends on (location of) target audience.
