Fantastic plugin & helpful support
by lewisbarn·1 month ago
I’ve used WP Compress for a over a month now and safely say it’s truly worthy of 10 stars if I could rate it that. Websites that previously felt like they crawled are now cruising faster than I could have imagined with no maintenance at all. The team is friendly and helpful too when I have any questions or requests. (which I’m definitely not shy to ask)
Really helps our agency!

We’ve tried other performance plugins but nothing has compared with as many agency features as WP Compress. Thank you for fast speeds, unlimited websites and easy management!

It’s now been a week since installing and my Pagespeed has really improved significantly on all 3 websites. Thank you so much for how easy this is.
It works out of the box

It’s my go-to page speed plugin. It has all the functionality you need, and it just works, with minimal setup time.
