Did anyone who use it get negative impact? Since i use this plugin, my traffic is dropped. I use on 4 website. After i installed it, all of my site have a great load time. Mostly below 1s. But my traffic dropped. I install it on 11 may and yesterday. But all of them show negative result. I try it on different website and server. I do not know what is the problem. I use rank tracker too to check my rank and it shows my traffic dropped after i install this plugin

Another run gave me these numbers:

The numbers vary every time you check, not that reliable of a tool the page insights.

Use gtmetrix. I find it more stable and reliable

What I usually like to do is install perfmatters and optimize each page separately by deactivating certain thing that load but the page doesn't need.

This with WP rocket and I usually get 90 score for phone and PC on insights.

I was looking for a plugin that allowed me to do just that.

Is that a free plugin or a premium version?

I use webpagetest

I've just been dabbling on 3 test sites using different option.

Used this on one site and did nothing else.

3.3 seconds seems long ... 50 request is huge too. Can't you merge CSS and Javascript?

I use Fast Velocity Minify which allows it, if you give me the test site I want to compare to see.

EDIT:

Slower but heavier, however the server makes fewer requests.

Caching problem:

It is reliable, if it is fluctuating then you got a problem. Check your CPU usage, check what google complains each time and check what the difference is. Do you really think google made pageinsights and dont care about the numbers that show there?

3.2 load time is a bit high imo

Yes it's not great, I just installed WP cache in addition to try:

Dont use two cache plugins, use wp-rocket and check the gtmetrix waterfall to see whats slowing you down and then fix that

Ok thank you for the advice, I will look at that later (the weather is nice outside)

Wp-rocket is better than Wp cache? It seem to be complete, it would be necessary to bench to compare.

This image is so fake... WP Super cache is e-commerce friendly, has quick setup and it's developer friendly too...
You add an optimization plugin in combination and you have almost all functions of WP Rocket FOR FREE

For example two ramdisk offer different performance (cpu access, latency / bit rate). I'm talking about hardware usage, not Wordpress code optimizations.

This is why we should test both on the same site and launch an impartial bench, we laugh at marketing, every second is important.

After using w3, total cache, litecache WP-Rocket took the prize for me

I have 2 website and mostly get visitor from pinterest. After i installed phastpress, my traffic dropped 90 percent. I check it on my adsense dashboard too. It shows the same result. My web view also dropped. My another website which use phastpress also get a same problem. Mostly my rank drop since i use this plugin. It is my first time get a problem like this. Previously i think my sites were hacked.

It's probably because of Google updates, everyone is impacted, not because of plugins.

I just saw that it is a subscription ... without me
