I started using Easy Optimizer a few months ago and I am satisfied with the results. The developer is responsive and corrects the issues very quickly. I don’t use any other optimization plugin.

If anyone is interested I can share my settings.

Wow, Man. WP is crap when it comes to performance. You need half a dozen plugin, wow!

Ey, then go and use another CMS, Simple.

It’s easy to call WordPress “performance crap” without offering any constructive alternatives, without understanding why vanilla WordPress doesn’t include those optimizations by default, and while completely ignoring server-side optimization.

You can buy a Toyota Yaris to compete in a rally, but if you actually want to win, you’ll need to tune it properly. That’s exactly what we’re discussing here. It doesn’t make the Toyota a bad car—it just means it wasn’t built as a fully optimized rally car out of the box.

Name me any CMS that, out of the box, caches pages while Ajaxifying dynamic content, natively supports Redis and OPcache, optimizes CSS and JavaScript, converts images to AVIF and WebP, indexes MySQL, keeps bloat to a minimum, integrates with cloud services without relying on plugins, and at the same time offers a vast ecosystem of mature plugins, an active community, and years of ongoing maintenance and security updates.

And no, a custom AI-generated spaghetti-code CMS is not a serious alternative when long-term maintainability, well-documented code, security updates, and continuous patching are essential.

So, according to you, no CMS in the world provides any of these so it is fine for WP app of yours needing close to a dozen plugins for it to perform as expected is not something to boost about.

An application should not need plethora of cache just to be a de-facto requirement to make it work. Sounds like you have never build any application outside WP that could “scale” without this much “Cache/Performance” tuning requirements.

I don’t think this thread is the right place to turn this into a debate with personal remarks which would distract people who came here looking for practical information about optimizing high-traffic WordPress.

We’re not talking about building applications outside of WordPress. We’re discussing how to optimize a high-traffic WooCommerce store with hundreds of thousands of products, cached pages, and dynamic AJAX-driven content. At that scale, Redis, OPcache, database tuning, CDNs, and caching layers aren’t a WordPress problem—they’re standard engineering practice.
