At its core, WordPress is an open-sourced Content Management System (CMS) that is designed to be versatile and accept a wide array of hosts, themes, and plugins.
Much like how it is hard to shuffle a deck of cards and never deal the same hand twice due to the insanely high probability, it is also unlikely that any two blogs are designed identically (well, unless you copy all of our guides and WordPress plugin recommendations, in which case there could be a few).
This poses an inherent set of problems for bloggers as some programs simply aren't designed to play nicely together. Some themes may be designed to stand alone without a huge plugin array while others are simply backbones that allow you to customize to your heart's content via plugins. Optimizing performance around all of this adds one more layer of difficulty into the mix.
One plugin that we have found absolutely critical for the performance of our WordPress blogs is WP Rocket as this premium plugin is a beast- it combines and minifies CSS and JS files, lazy loads images, and so much more.
So in this one, we want to share more about what WP Rocket does, why you may want to use it on your blog, some pitfalls to keep in mind, and of course share our own personal settings as this one can become overwhelming in a hurry.
