Frequently asked questions
We make these plugins ourselves, so read them with that in mind. That is why we include measurements and sources, say where the other plugin is stronger, and state the date prices were checked.
Usually yes. Spark Speed, for example, imports your WP Rocket settings, so you do not start from scratch.
