How to Properly Install and Set Up WP Rocket in WordPress



Are you working on setting up WP Rocket for your WordPress site? WP Rocket is one of the best WordPress caching plugin on the market because it offers the most comprehensive set of tools to help speed up your site. In this video, we will show you how to easily install and setup WP Rocket on your WordPress website.

This video is sponsored by MonsterInsights, a powerful plugin to help you use your analytics information to the fullest, take a look at MonsterInsights here:

WP Rocket is a paid plugin that requires it be purchased to use but all of its different levels give you all of the tools you need. The different plan levels determine how many sites the plugin can be used on. Get WP Rocket using our referral link here:

https://www.wpbeginner.com/refer/wp-rocket/

Once you install the plugin on your site you should find a new section under Settings called WP Rocket to start modifying the plugin's settings. To start we would recommend going under the caching settings and enabling caching as well as separate cache files for mobile devices. There's also the option to specify the lifespan of cache files, for most sites 10 hours is fine but if your site is very active in updates you would want to reduce the time required.

For optimizing your images to load quickly on the web, you would want to take a look at our guide here:

https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/speed-wordpress-save-images-optimized-web/

Under File Optimizations, the default options are what we normally recommend but as you get further into optimizing your site it can help with speed improvements. For the media section, you can enable LazyLoad so your images only load once a user goes to a section of your site where they are visible and soon WordPress will be able to do that by default. Disabling Emojis means that it will have your users using their browser emojis rather than pulling them from your WordPress site.

Preloading gives you the ability to give a bit of a speed boost to specific pages based on your sitemap. The plugin should give you the ability to specify the URL of your sitemap or it will try to find plugin generated files. Next, for the database WordPress handles most of this cleanup automatically but the plugin does give you more power over the ability to do this.

For CDNs, they help deliver your content from a geographically closer area to your users to reduce load time. If you would like to take a look at the CDN we use on WPBeginner, we would recommend taking a look using our referral link here:

https://www.wpbeginner.com/refer/maxcdn/

The heartbeat tab we would recommend avoiding for most users as there are settings for beginners that can break your site but the default should not cause any issues. There are also addons for improving Google Analytics, Facebook pixel, and interactions with your hosting provider if they are using Varnish for caching.

    Thanks, just what I needed. Forgot to measure the speed before WPRocket, so can't give figures, but it does seem faster on one specific page, one that had me concerned. Thanks.

    Can you schedule the plugin to empty the cache every night say at midnight

    On my website, I have an option in the top called "Managed WordPress" that enables me to flush the cache. This causes interference between WP Rocket and my WordPress site itself causing me trouble. Any possible way I can get rid of the "Managed WordPress" option and solely stick with WP Rocket?

    I did not get any bump on pagespeed insights score. It stayed about the same 45 mobile and 70 – 75 on desktop. I measured after loading WP Rocket and then again after making the changes suggested in the video. Does it take some time to "kick in"?

    I liked MaxCDN, but had issues where GoDaddy would periodically blacklist MaxCDN. I have been using KeyCDN for the last 2 years without this issue though.
