New Features
Hereโs what you can expect in this brand-new version:
- Critical Path CSS for Specific Pages
From now on, their Optimize CSS Delivery option is more powerful because it can generate a Critical Path CSS specific for each page/post as needed. This feature will help to remove once and for all the render-blocking warning in PageSpeed. - Critical Path CSS for Mobile
If a WordPress site uses a different theme for the mobile version, it can now benefit greatly from the mobile dedicated Critical Path CSS. WP Rocket will generate it only if the Separate cache for mobile option is enabled. - Font Files Preloading
WP Rocket 3.6 comes with a new feature that allows to preload fonts (which would otherwise delay the rendering of the page or the perceived performance) and also helps to satisfy the Preload key requests recommendation from Google PageSpeed Insights.
Finally, they removed the Remove Query String option from the WP Rocket settings and extended GZIP to pre-compress CSS and JS files in addition to HTML files.
Pricing, Support & Updates
WP Rocket pricing starts from as low as $49 for a single site. They are charging $99 for up to 3 sites and $249 for unlimited sites. All plans come with one year of free support and updates.
Please note that they are providing a 14 days money-back guarantee. Thus, you can test their feature-rich WordPress caching plugin risk-free. What are you waiting for?
