Caching and general speed plugins
Several plugins here take on speed as a whole. Perfmatters is a lightweight performance plugin, and FlyingPress is a plugin for speed optimization. W3 Total Cache Pro is a caching plugin that reduces server work and speeds up how pages reach visitors. WP Fastest Cache adds premium optimization tools to the WP Fastest Cache caching plugin. Swift Performance is for speeding up page loads, and Seraphinite Accelerator covers caching and front end optimization.
Object caching
Object Cache Pro connects your site to Redis as a persistent object cache backend. Its job, a persistent object cache, is different from the page caching of the plugins above.
Plugins for one job
Asset CleanUp Pro gives you control over which CSS and JavaScript files load on each page. Smush Pro compresses and optimizes your images to cut file sizes. OMGF Pro downloads the Google Fonts your site uses and hosts them locally. Database Cleaner & Optimizer Pro cleans and organizes your site's database. WP-Optimize Premium - Clean, Compress, Cache handles three maintenance jobs in one place: cleaning the database, compressing images and caching pages.
How to choose
- Sort the plugins by job: page caching, object caching, files that load, images, fonts, or the database.
- Look at which jobs overlap before you install more than one. WP-Optimize Premium covers cleaning, compressing and caching by itself, so it shares ground with the plugins above.
- Check the product pages against your own WordPress setup.
- Makers with a plugin here include Divi Engine and JoomUnited, one each.
