WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache or LiteSpeed Cache, which fits
The right caching plugin depends on your host, not preference.
Try this first
- 1LiteSpeed server (common at NL hosts): pick LiteSpeed Cache, free and server-integrated
- 2Apache or nginx without LiteSpeed: WP Rocket (paid, easy) or W3TC (free, complex)
- 3Already on Cloudflare APO or an edge cache, pick a plugin that cooperates
- 4Never run two caching plugins at once
When to bring us in
Performance doesn't improve despite caching, problem is in PHP or DB, not cache.
