I am a WP user who has learned via the path of “trial-and-error.” I have spent literally hundreds of hours trying to decipher through the facts and the BS for my site. It’s been a nightmare, to say the very least. I was using TC3 for a long time, but grew tired of the constant advertising and prompts. I am not a developer by any means; a person who is depending upon extra $$$ to supplement my significantly lower monthly disability income.
I bought this WP-Rocket plugin a couple of weeks ago, and so far I am not impressed in a positive way AND the video tutorials are still in French! While some are in English, having a French background myself, their accents are still too strong to clearly understand and assimilate for those of us who are not well-versed or fluent in the French language. I am not happy at all. With this said, part of the issue is that while I’ve learned an incredible amount of WP stuff and have devoted most of my time to making this site a success, between the available SEO and caching plugins and their not-so-objective reviews, it makes it almost impossible to make a well-informed buying decision.
One could say that I should have a WP expert evaluate the site. On the surface, that is most logical and I truly wish I knew an independent, non-affiliate marketing WP guru who could go through my site page by page, tell me what’s wrong and fix it.
I am not sure if I should enable the js/css/html minification/concentenation features on this plugin because I don’t want to screw anything up.
I will say that my webhost runs Super Cacher, so I do not know if that is conflicting with this plugin – although it’s not supposed to. In fact, the web host recommends WP Rocket and indicates the two are fully compatible. Looked at my loading speed today and it’s worse. It’s sooooooooooooooooooo discouraging to just get simple, plain answers in English. I’ve grown tired and very frustrated with all the BS/hype out there. I just want to know the facts.
Like I said, I’ve learned so much but I am quite aware of my limitations. Based on the tutorials I have at this point from WP Rocket, I am not confident of the changes I should implement. I’ve worked so long and hard on this site – have poured my heart and soul into it. Just wish I could get more honest, drop-the-BS solutions without having to wade through days and weeks of differing information. It’s worse than litigating a lawsuit…
