What Are the Best Plugins to Optimize Website Speed, Performance and Images?

I’m running a blogging website and trying to improve page speed and overall performance.
What are the best plugins you recommend for speed optimization and image compression?


I’m interested in both free and paid options that actually make a noticeable difference in Core Web Vitals and loading time.


Which plugins have worked best for you, and why?

I use WP Rocket from grootmade.com for code - cache and for Images I manually first compress.
I have smush free version in the site, so that does the rest.
For WP Rocket and check the tutorial video:
For images, I use https://tinypng.com/ or https://bulkresizephotos.com/

I don´t know if this is enough, but let's see. Everything depends mostly what theme and what kind of frontpage you have in the site. If you have lost of content in the frontpage.
It´s pretty difficult to get good stats in the analytics.

I usually use LiteSpeed Cache or WP Rocket for speed. For images, ShortPixel works fine. Also make sure your hosting is decent and caching is enabled, because plugins alone won't fix slow loading if the server is weak.

For image compression in bulk, I using disgntech.com/universal-image-converter/ to do this. All format easily converted to any (PNG, JPEG, Webp).
Webp format is best blogging website.
