Nice list. Iām loving perfmatters after using it for a few months. Just switched from using Bricks built-in lazyload to perfamtters lazyload, and PSI scores on mobile jumped from high 60s to the high 90s which is kinda wild to me.
For good managed WP hosts - I would also highly recommend Rocket.net. I think they get better performance on average compared to WP Engine, Kinsta, etc.
Yes I try Seraphinite Accelerator and the results are great but how you combine it with litespeed. My hosting also its litespeed and maybe i need it for object cache!
Do you think that given that the bricks coding is so clean, will it be possible in the future to not need any optimization plugins?
For static websites you still need a caching plugin imo
proper caching will always be needed for scaling or slow hostingā¦
this is not just for wordpress it is valid for any web software
No, as long as your Time-To-First-Byte is much longer, due to PHP and Database being accessed for every page load - instead of directly delivering the cached HTML - caching is necessary.
This little detail is often the reason why pages load 3s for every click instead of responding immediately (e.g. Divi Sites). For similar Bricks sites itās often just a second, which is less noticable and can be easily forgotten.
I use WPFastestCache on cheap hosting, which has no Redis/OpCache and it is blazingly fast.
well it depends isnt it 
thats the thing about caching it really depends on so many variablesā¦
there are multiple cheatsheet about this stuff for a reason 
there was a nice cloudflare flow diagram about this cant find it now anyway
I try many cache plugin and most of the time I had worse page speed!
The best plugin until now for me itās Seraphinite Sccelerator plugin.
Its always 99M 100D or 100M 100M you can check my website https://www.photographic.gr
Iāve had good results with the free version of hummingbird. Although their plugin does add to the PHP workload, it provides the best results without being very complicated IMO.
But I notice my ranking goes down, and I remove this plugin. I notice in Google Cloud Console
that I had sitemap fetching errors
Hi community,
According to friendsā comments, WP Fastest Cache seems to be the best option. Please, if possible, share the settings of this plugin so that I can configure it correctly?
Thanks
Iām using Varnish Cache along with Perfmatters Object Cache Pro, and Iām very happy with the results.
Iām using this WP plugin combination on my production heavy sites

nice
I done this manualy couple of times didnt know this plugin.
this is probably the most important thing any wordpress owner can do to scale the website
without proper db optimization everything else is just patches not real fixesā¦
Yep, Index WP MySQL For Speed plugin does the process for you, and you can revert indexes, and select which tables you wish to index, and even supporting woocommerce HPOS tables.
The plugin is maintained, here is the link:
The plugin description is gold if any of you never heard about database keys (aka indexes) and how important they are for SQL performance.
Be aware that indexing tables mayl double the size of the database, but will also double its performance.
