Super Page Cache Pro is primarily designed for Cloudflare-hosted sites. Testing was conducted on a Hetzner Dedicated server without Cloudflare, which may limit its effectiveness. Results reflect real-world performance on a standard Nginx server.
Test Methodology
Server: Hetzner Dedicated (Germany) with Elementor Pro page builder
Method: PageSpeed Insights — median of 3 runs per config, single verified runs for v2 re-test
Themes tested: Astra, Hello Elementor, GeneratePress
PageSpeed Insights has inherent variability (±5-10 points between runs). All plugins configured for best performance. LiteSpeed Cache tested on Nginx (no server-level page cache).

The Bottom Line
Super Page Cache Pro is a Cloudflare-focused caching plugin that scored M69 — below even the no-plugin baseline of M72 on our Nginx test server. ProRank delivers M96 on the same setup with full page caching, critical CSS, script delay, image optimization, and complete SEO tools included. If you're not on Cloudflare, Super Page Cache Pro offers little value. Even on Cloudflare, ProRank provides far more comprehensive optimization.
