<p>Surge generates and serves static HTML files for your WordPress site, causing quicker requests, faster load times and a shorter time to first byte (TTFB).</p>
<p>Surge does not require configuration, and has no options. It works out of the box on any well-configured hosting platform. Cached files are stored on disk, and automatically invalidated when your site is updated.</p>
<p>In various load tests, Surge has shown to easily handle 1000-2500 requests per second at 100 concurrent, on a small single-core server with only 1 GB of RAM. That’s over 70 times faster than a stock WordPress install.</p>


Surge

This plugin does one thing: generate and serve static HTML files. And it does that one thing perfectly.

Focused

It really helps to improve speed A LOT without any hassle with options.

Great job!

I just installed Surge in all my sites. After cancelling the payment option I was using, I was looking for a simple and easy to install option. And Surge is exactly this. Forget about complex configuration options (where you're at risk of crashing your site, talking from my own experience!), just install and forget!. 

I don't know if it's really the fastest option if you're an optimization expert that know exactly what to touch but it's the fastest option for me, no doubt about it

Hassle-free option - Works out-of-the-box


This plugin works! Install, activate, and check WP_CACHE value and boom - your site is fast!One nice feature that is happening under the hood is caching of specific REST API requests. That makes, for example, dynamic parts of the site with javascript filtering blazingly fast.


Just works!


Over the years, I've looked at all the top caching plugins, and never found one that I liked. They were either too complex, too finicky, or tried to do too many things.



Surge just works, and it works great.



Update: I ran some basic performance testing of the same sample content with and without Surge activated.Surge increased my Requests per second by a factor of 21x and reduced my time per request by a factor of 25x.



Beyond that, Konstantin has been amazing as far as support goes for a free plugin. Besides addressing issues and requests, he's gone above-and-beyond at helping work through issues, to the point of looking at where we are using Surge and making additional configuration recommendations. If it were possible to give 6 stars, I would!


Finally a Caching Plugin I can get behind!

Surge is a very simple and fast page caching plugin for WordPress.

WP Compress – Instant Performance & Speed Optimization


I had been having an issue for a long time with the FAQ accordion. For some reason, the accordion wouldn't toggle on click. I tried everything, but I was unable to fix it. When James heard about this issue from a survey I participated in, he emailed me to offer their support so they could resolve the issue.



I was unable to manage time, but when I contacted them, James personally handled it and provided a patch/bug-free plugin copy to resolve the issue. After updating the plugin, the issue has been resolved, and now the FAQ accordion is working fine, and the webpage loading speed seems better and faster. Thanks for the awesome service.
