The Experience with RAMSTHEMES
We were using the WP Rocket and Perfmatters caching plugins on this site (ramsthemes.com) for about 4 years, along with Cloudflare as a CDN. We found that the first two plugins use somewhat longer configurations that generate good results if you know how to do them.
However, we now tried FastPixel as an alternative that is easier to configure since everything comes pre-established in three different settings.
Its free version brings everything you need without any major complications and allows 5000 pageviews per month. You can also run an online test of your site that allows to compare the performances. Every pack allows the use of deliver WEBP and AVIF images and compression.
The results on our Elementor-based site are even better than with the plugins we used before, now using our configuration with the one-click “Fast” preset combined with previously set Cloudflare CDN (although you can also use the FastPixel integrated CDN if you wish).
