What the author says it does
MORE THAN A CACHING PLUGIN
WP-Optimize is trusted by more than 1 million WordPress website owners to boost performance and reduce page load times to improve your site’s user experiences and SERP rankings in Google.
It does this in four clever ways:
1. It caches your site
Caching is the process of storing a temporary HTML version of your site on the server so it can be retrieved more quickly for the user.
It’s a sure-fire way to ensure web pages load at lightning-fast speed. Turn it on in just one click.
2. It compresses images
Large images can really impact page speed load times. WP-Optimize makes it easy to identify and compress images to your preferred lossy / lossless settings in a couple of clicks.
3. It cleans the database
Your WordPress database stores everything that you need, plus some things that you don’t. WP-Optimize cleans and optimizes the database to speed up your site and save server resources.
4. It minifies
On top of its three main features, WP-Optimize Cache also has the more advanced minification feature.
Together with caching, minification dramatically improves performance and page speed load time.
1. CACHE YOUR SITE
Turn on caching in just one click:
WP-Optimize automatically and optimally configures itself for your WordPress site. Turn it on in one-click or refine its settings if you prefer.

Questions the author answers
Isn’t it better to use a dedicated caching plugin to cache my site?
We’ve built WP-Optimize Cache around the most advanced and powerful caching technology. Our caching tests and feedback from real-world users show that the caching feature alone can make your site faster than any other cache plugin or optimization. See these speed test results.
Is optimizing my database safe?
Yes; optimizing does not involve any “tricks” or poking around in dangerous ways. It involves running routine clean-up operations using well-defined, common MySQL commands. Nevertheless, we always recommend backups, which cover every possibility; not just database malfunctions, but hackers, human errors, etc. We recommend UpdraftPlus.
What savings can I expect to make?
This is a “how long is string?” sort of question. It depends completely on your site – how big it is, how many users interact on it, how long it has been running, and when you last optimised it. However, the savings and speed-ups can be substantial; it is always worth making sure that your database is optimised.
How do I get support?
In our support forum, here: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-optimize/
WP-Optimize does not make large savings on my database
This is rare; it’s probably because you’re with a shared web hosting company that doesn’t allow scripts to run an optimize command via SQL statements (SQL “OPTIMIZE” instruction). Please consult your web hosting company on this matter.
Is the plugin tried and tested?
Yes – WP-Optimize Cache is WordPress’s #1 most-installed optimisation plugin, with over 800,000 users and a pedigree going back over 8 years.
