Hey guys,
Hope you all doing well. Straight to the point:
Which WordPress performance plugins work best for you so far? (honestly)

There are so many on the market now, the price is also similar to each other, I can't tell which one is better anymore o_O

I also used WP Rocket before, did not work speed up that much when i tested it with / without Cloudflare :((

Asides from a good caching plugin I would say Perfmatters is a good plugin, you can find it here and try it out, also in this thread you find some videos from the developer to watch and learn.

I checked that tool out. The biggest concern is the tools conflict. (against other Cache plugins, Cloudflare, SEO plugins).
Perfmatters offers a lottt of configures, which is cons and pros at the same time regarding to this concern. (too many configs are definitely not for beginner)
Do you have any personal experience on this?

I've tried them all and the best IMO is WP Rocket. It's the closest thing you'll get to an all-in-one performance plugin.

I use this plugin since years, sure there are some settings that you need to make sure not to set in your cache plugin and so on. But in all, it is a very good plugin.

My #1 combination:

- NGINX config with Runcache plugin + CloudFlare APO.
- Object Cache Pro for Redis caching.
- An optimized NGINX server (check Github for the best config).

Get rid of browser-based caching modules.
 
Used to use WP Super Cache for being the leanest, I do not want CSS minification and whatnot added

However Super Cache now added all that.

Second option was WP Fastest Cache, but apart from also having additional stuff I don't like, it appears to not purge the cache as well as WP Super Cache

For the frontend we use no caching at all ATM as the site was built / optimised from the ground up.

For the backend mostly, the Sqlite Object Cache on wordpress.org is an easier to install alternative to Redis. However subjectively I felt Redis was slightly faster
