In 2010, I made my first WordPress website.

In 2014, I started a WordPress theme business called Compete Themes. I’ve since designed and developed 19 WordPress themes that have been downloaded more than 1.5+ million times. As a WordPress user, developer, and business owner, I can tell you that I know this platform inside-and-out.

Now I'm teaching everything I know.

I'm on a mission to answer all of the web's WordPress questions, and with the lessons in my videos, you'll skip hours of frustration and instead learn how to use WordPress in a way that is both simple and enjoyable.

WP Rocket - I LOVE the WP Rocket plugin for speeding up my site. It's simple enough that I feel comfortable recommending it to brand new WP users, and yet it handles complex performance optimizations flawlessly.

About this Video
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

WP Rocket is one of the best plugins for speeding up your WordPress website. It includes a variety of features which are covered one-by-one in this video.

First off, WP Rocket is primarily a caching plugin. Caching speeds up your site by serving static pre-generated versions of your site’s pages to visitors. This is much faster than requiring each page to be dynamically generated every time someone visits.

WP Rocket also includes file optimizations like minification and concatenation for both CSS and Javascript. Plus, there are a variety of other minor optimizations like removing JS files loaded by WordPress for emojis and embeds.

Beyond the performance optimization features, WP Rocket includes a handful of additional optimization tools. You can schedule regular database cleanups, integrate with CDNs, control the Heartbeat API, and add performance enhancements for Google Analytics and Facebook pixel.
