WP ROCKET on 1,000,000 websites worldwide!

WP Rocket, the premium caching plugin for WordPress, has reached another milestone: it is now installed on over a million websites worldwide.

At the beginning of February, WP Rocket, the premium cache plugin for WordPress founded in France in 2014, celebrated a new milestone.

More than a million websites now use its caching and web performance optimization system.

This is a great success for WP Media, the company behind WP Rocket, which began this journey six years ago as a startup.

As we say Jonathan Buttigieg, co-founder of WP Rocket:

“The fact that WP Rocket is installed on more than 1,000,000 WordPress sites is a sign that website owners are increasingly aware of the importance of web performance.
Our goal is to continue to provide a caching plugin easy to use that makes getting a fast site accessible to everyone.”

A fast website is essential not only for Google SEO reasons, but also from a broader perspective of internet sustainability: servers must be able to serve websites as quickly and efficiently as possible, and this is where caching comes into play.

WP ROCKET How did it all start?

Jonathan Buttigieg And Jean-Baptiste Marchand-Arvier, the founders of WP Rocket, worked together for a web agency, and they were both interested in web performance techniques.
The key moment that kicked off the adventure was the success of the web performance tutorial they created together for Jonathan’s blog. The success of this tutorial made the two friends realize that they had the opportunity to work together on something bigger.
They began to develop a WordPress plugin that would enable web performance best practices, with a particular emphasis on page caching: this was in 2014.

WP Rocket More than caching

Since then, the plugin WP Rocket evolved into something bigger.

Over the years, it has changed the WordPress caching plugin ecosystem.

With a focus on performance, ease of use and quality support, the plugin has received great recognition from WordPress experts.

Additionally, the excellent work done to make the plugin compatible with the most popular hosting solutions (like O2switch for example), has allowed WP Rocket to expand to a growing number of users.
WP Rocket is now more than just a caching plugin, but a complete web performance tool that allows sites to go at the speed of light in just a few clicks.

Seeing a slow site is unimaginable these days

As I write this article, it is 2020 and we live in an ultra-connected world, information is transmitted at the speed of light.
People want to have access to information as quickly as possible while having condensed information.
It is therefore unimaginable these days to have a slow site.

If you use WordPress, you know that it is a great tool that makes it easy to create a website.
On the other hand, if you add extensions and media files like photos, this can slow down your WordPress site a lot and prevent the user from having smooth navigation.
This is how WpRocket became the best caching plugin for WordPress.

What makes Wp Rocket the best is that it is not a simple caching plugin but a real solution for website performance.
