Performance Documentation

Make WordPress pages load faster with ProRank's caching, CSS and JavaScript, image and database tools, then check the result against Core Web Vitals.

Start with the performance settings tour to see what each setting does, then turn on page caching. If another caching or optimization plugin is active on the site, read Compatibility and Runtime Health first: it explains how ProRank switches off only the features that would overlap.
