WP Rocket 리뷰. 워드프레스 캐시 플러그인 중에서 가장 유명한 플러그인
예전에 워드프레스 캐시 플러그인 관련 포스팅을 한 적이 있습니다. 그때도 나름대로 이런저런 플러그인 사용해보면서 최종적으로 Litespeed Cache로 정했었습니다. 이 친구도 꽤나 괜찮은 친구여서 몇달 동안 잘 쓰고 있었습니다만… 최근 이 친구가 제가 사용하는 사이트 빌더 플러그인 Oxygen과 관련된 문제가 발생해서 고심을 거듭하다가 이번 블랙 프라이데이 때 할인하길래 좀 고민하다가 질렀습니다. WP Rocket입니다.

WP Rocket is the most popular WordPress cache plugin. However, this plugin is not the plugin with the most users. Because WP Rocket is a fully paid plugin. There are quite a lot of cache plugins in WordPress, and some free cache plugins have so many users. It’s not that it lacks real performance.
But WP Rocket is a fully paid plugin but it is always mentioned when referring to the best cache plugins. As it is a fully paid plugin, it will never be recognized unless it supports performance. It’s not all good just because it’s a paid plugin. There are quite a few real developers who are active in the WordPress plugin ecosystem, but they are often a little strict, so if they think some plugin is not good, they blame it right away. A typical example is Gutenberg (block editor)…
The basic concept of WP Rocket is that it automatically sets your site optimally, including WordPress cache. Of course, a lot of cache plugins guarantee some site speed with basic settings alone. However, while other cache plugins have a lot to be set up, or while it is common for developers to give basic guidelines by ‘Please do this~’, this plugin naturally completes site optimization settings without the need for any settings. By default, this plugin automatically sets up the site and leaves only the rest of the additional parts to the user, which can be explained to this extent.
Typically, the ‘minify’ in the screenshot above… I usually checked this part naturally, but WP Rocket asked me to be careful. This may not be a big deal, but since automation is the concept, I think we only do certain parts automatically. In fact, some plugins definitely speed up your site, but there are also plugins that eliminate all the plugin features. In other words, WP Rocket seeks optimization to the extent that it maintains site functionality as much as possible. However, the function itself is not special. It would be nice to see that this plugin is faithful to the basics.
WP Rocket is a plugin that doesn’t waste money.
My blog speed is pretty good. The name value is clear. What’s even more surprising is that there are still a lot of optimizations, such as webfonts, but to be honest, there’s nothing to go any further here to be satisfied with. Of course, the speed is relatively low on mobile, but I think it’s probably because of my webfont, but I don’t know exactly…
WP Rocket의 가격은 개인사용자(사이트 1개) 기준으로 1년에 49달러입니다. 그렇~게 비싼 편은 아니라고 할 수도 있겠지만 무료 버전 중에서도 쟁쟁한 경쟁자들이 있다는 것을 감안하면 꽤 아쉽습니다. 하지만 워드프레스 플러그인들은 거의 대다수가 당연하다는 듯이 블랙 프라이데이나 혹은 제휴 링크 등으로 세일을 많이 하는 편입니다. 그렇기에 경험상 정가로 바로 사면 매우 배아프니… 세일할 때 구입하는 것이 좋은 것 같습니다. 그리고 간간이 30% 할인된 가격으로 구독 연장하는 이벤트들이 있습니다. 이런 것들 생각하면 그렇게 비싸지 않은 가격으로 오랫동안 사용할 수 있습니다. 저도 자잘하게 구독 추가추가하는 중입니다.
Of course, WordPress is an open source, so which tool is the best is different for each person. Also, plugins that don’t have any problems with anyone can only have problems with me… These strange things happen in real. That’s why I heard that many developers don’t use open source.
There are definitely people who like various cache plugins that have poor evaluations because they fit well with them, and as I said earlier, there are many good things with free. But I used to use WP Fastest Cache before, and it has a lot of users and good cost-effectiveness, but I ended up using Litespeed Cache because it had something wrong with my other plugins, and it also had plugin-related problems as I mentioned at the beginning.
WP Rocket hasn’t had any problems yet. And as it’s a paid plugin, the support is nice. Non-developers like us, not developers, have difficulty dealing with WordPress’s unique instability in open source. So when I choose a plugin, I tend to see how well its supports. You can see that this part is as clear as you pay for it.
It’s a plugin that subtly updates often and has improved functionality, so if it doesn’t have a big problem someday, I’ll continue to use this WP Rocket.
WP Rocket conclusion
A good point
- It optimizes the site automatically.
- It works for sure
- The support is also good
- It’s a pity that it’s paid, but it’s not that expensive.
A bad point
- It’s a 100% paid plugin.
- It’s true to the basics, but the function itself is not special.
