But Not the Same Plugin

Discover the main differences between WP Rocket and FlyingPress

Ease of use

FlyingPress has a pretty fast setup, but it requires some settings to configure. You should expect to manually enable some features. Once you activate them, you may have to fine-tune them.

WP Rocket offers the easiest setup – you’re done in 3 minutes, tops. It applies 80% of web performance best practices automatically without having to enable any options. You don’t need any technical skills, the plugin automates most of the web performance optimization processes across all pages.

Compatibility

FlyingPress states to be compatible with all major WordPress hosting providers, themes & plugins. It doesn’t offer any solutions in its settings to resolve issues with other plugins that are not fully compatible with page caching. WP Rocket provides dynamic and mandatory cookies as a solution to this specific issue.

WP Rocket is compatible with 99% of hosts and is the only performance plugin allowed by WordPress.com and Pressable. It’s also compatible with the vast majority of tools, themes, and plugins.

Updates

FlyingPress is regularly updated with fixes and improvements.

WP Rocket offers constant updates and new major and minor releases to address the latest performance requirements and challenges.
On top, the plugin also fixes issues quickly and without needing a formal plugin update.

Performance

FlyingPress provides comprehensive features for improving site speed, including advanced caching and lazy loading. However, some features, such as lazy rendering and critical image optimization, need to be handled manually. The plugin aims to improve Core Web Vitals’ performance.

WP Rocket offers blazing-fast speed results and plenty of optimization features—most of them are applied automatically, helping you save time and effort. The plugin is designed to reduce loading time, improve Core Web Vitals, and address Google PageSpeed recommendations.

A Few Words from Users Who Tried Both Plugins

Real reviews from real users

I installed WP Rocket after trying tons of cache plugins. Its cache preloading feature and the fine settings on WordPress are enough to make this plugin better than any other.

I have used W3 Total Cache, WP Fastest Cache, FlyingPress and all for some reason increased my page size from 300 kb to 1 mb, something that has never happened with WP Rocket.

Probably you pay for the finest tunes you can do on your WordPress, without thousands of eye catching features that only could increase the risk of slow down your website.

Here is what our users think

Best caching plugin on the market

Over the years I have tested almost all WordPress caching plugins on the market. I still do this from time to time, when I have a new project, to see if the results are the same. And even though I have found some options that came close to WP Rocket's results, they are very far in terms of convenience for the user and ease of use.

Easy to use (even if you don’t have any knowledge of coding). And my page speed improved right away! Not just for the browser experience – but even more important, also for the mobile experience. I was done in 15 minutes what could have costed me a lifetime to find out on my own.
