Frequently Asked Questions

Will RapidPress conflict with my caching plugin?

RapidPress is designed to work alongside popular caching plugins. However, for best results, we recommend configuring your caching plugin to exclude RapidPress assets.

Does RapidPress work with page builders?

Yes, RapidPress is compatible with major page builders including Elementor, Beaver Builder, and Divi. You can use the optimization scoping feature to exclude specific builder elements if needed.

Will minification break my site?

While minification is generally safe, some custom code may be affected. RapidPress includes options to exclude specific files or code blocks from minification. Always test thoroughly after enabling new optimizations.

How do I measure the performance improvement?

We recommend using tools like Google PageSpeed Insights, GTmetrix, or WebPageTest to measure the improvements.

Is RapidPress translation-ready?

Yes, RapidPress is fully internationalized and ready for translation. The plugin includes a POT file in the languages directory that you can use as a template for translations. We welcome contributions of new translations!
