<p>Site speed and performance optimization don’t have to be a complex task. With Solid Performance, simply install and activate, and the plugin will incrementally create static versions of each URL of your website for an instant performance boost.</p>
<h4>How Solid Performance Increases Your Site Performance and Page Speed ✅</h4>
<p>You’re busy, and you need to spend time building your website. In order to build well you need a solid foundation. Installing Solid Performance lets you optimize your site performance right away and start building sooner and faster without having to spend time configuring dozens of options.</p>
<p>A solid caching solution should not cause breakage with your favorite plugins. Solid Performance comes out of the box with smart plugin exception rules for pages that have dynamic content created by these plugins:<br />
* WooCommerce<br />
* GiveWP</p>
<p>With these smart defaults and page caching in place automatically, you can focus your time and energy on building and enhancing your website instead of struggling through dozens of caching settings.</p>
<h4>What is Caching and how does Solid Speed leverage it ❓</h4>
<p>There are several different types of caching</p>
<p>Solid Performance focuses exclusively on page caching, grabbing the HTML of your WordPress URLs and storing that in a secure directory. Then, when your visitors arrive at your site, the browser doesn’t need to run through PHP or hit your database again, it just serves up the static HTML, CSS, and JS files fast and simply.</p>
<h4>How Page Caching Benefits Your Website Performance 🚀</h4>
<p>As soon as you activate Solid Performance, your site will get an immediate boost. You’ll see benefits like these:<br />
🚀 Improved site performance (content delivery speed)<br />
🚀 Reduced drag on server load<br />
🚀 Measurable, quantifiable stats: lower bounce rates and higher conversion rates</p>
<p>When a site developer or manager is able to improve site performance for a client (for example), they are able to provide improved SEO results and meet a widely accepted expectation that well-run sites do not have slow download or content delivery times.</p>


Solid Performance – Your No-Code Caching, Performance, & Page Speed Solution


Disclaimer: I do work for StellarWP. BUT, this plugin did speed up multiple sites I've installed it on, including my personal site devin.org



I suggest it for a "solid" page caching solution


Installed and it's like woah, fast fast fast

<h4>Idea Behind</h4>
<p>There is no need to say that performance IS very important.<br />
What’s also important — is to understand whether you have to worry about your website performance or it’s doing fine.</p>
<p>Google Core Web Vitals are the metrics that Google uses to measure the user experience on the web (real user experience!).</p>
<p>If your website passes CWV assessment for Origin — it means that your website is fast enough for the majority of users.<br />
If it doesn’t pass — it means that you have to fix this.<br />
If it does pass but quite a few specific URLs are not passing — it’s a good time to look into those URLs and improve them to prevent the entrire webstie to be marked as failing CWV.</p>
<p>I wanted a simple easy-to-use tool to warn me in case my clients’ websites performance has a bad tendency and needs my attention.</p>
<p>I wanted a native WordPress solution, with all information available from the dashboard, simple but still informative, a guard who will do the monitoring every day and ping me, in case something goes wrong.</p>
<p>I have not found one and that’s why I’ve built this plugin.</p>
<p>I’ll be happy to know that you find it useful as well — please, leave a review.</p>
<p>P.S. Note about PageSpeed Insights: you SHOULD always use CWV data in case it is available for your website. In case it is not available (when the website is new and/or doesn’t have enough traffic yet) — use PageSpeed Insights. But you have to remember, that PSI — are lab tests, it’s just an emulation of real users experience. It’s better than nothing, of course.<br />
