Hey everyone! I’ve been exploring different ways to speed up WordPress sites and stumbled upon some conflicting advice about the best caching plugins. What are your go-to plugins for boosting site speed? Any unique tips or tricks that have worked wonders for you? Would love to hear your thoughts and experiences to better understand what’s really effective!

For me, assets are really slowing down my website. I’ve found that converting all images to .webp, using Optimus ([https://github.com/Splode/optimus](https://github.com/Splode/optimus)), and setting the compression ratio to around 80% or 90% (even better) makes a huge difference in terms of speed.
Technical tip: I recommend using the Query Monitor plugin ([https://wordpress.org/plugins/query-monitor/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/query-monitor/)) to identify and reduce duplicated database queries, which can also help improve performance.
Wp rocket, redis, cloudflare, image optimization and call it a day.

A well structured site with Asset Clean up and Free Soul Deactivate plugins setup correctly and Cloudflare + Super Page Cache For Cloud Flare is pretty much all you’ll need in most cases.
Check out u/jazir5’s rather epic performance document – tons of info about pretty much everything there is to know https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/1ncQcxnD-CxDk4h01QYyrlOh1lEYDS-DV/mobilebasic
