Automatic WordPress performance optimization
BerqWP Premium is an all-in-one optimization plugin for WordPress websites. It brings caching, CDN delivery, image optimization, CSS and JavaScript optimization, database maintenance, and Core Web Vitals tools into one workflow. The plugin is designed to apply performance techniques automatically, making it suitable for site owners who want a simpler alternative to managing several separate optimization plugins.
BerqWP uses cloud-based optimization when the relevant mode is enabled with a valid license key. Website pages are sent to the BerqWP Photon Engine, where optimized copies are created and stored as cache. This approach is intended to reduce the optimization work performed by the hosting server.
Paid capabilities
- Automatic caching: BerqWP creates an initial optimized cache quickly and generates a more fully optimized cache in the background. Automatic cache warmup keeps cache files prepared, while smart cache invalidation detects page changes and recreates affected cache.
- Server-side delivery: Static cache files can be served directly from the web server without running PHP and database queries. Cache rules are configured automatically for Apache, with Nginx cache support also available.
- CDN and image optimization: BerqWP CDN can deliver container-sized, retina-ready WebP images. The plugin can convert images to WebP, lazy-load images and embeds, and preload images identified as contributing to Largest Contentful Paint.
- Loading improvements: Speculative API support helps returning visitors load pages quickly through browser-based prefetching. Sandbox Mode allows optimization testing without affecting actual visitors.
- Database maintenance: Clean revisions, auto-drafts, trashed posts and comments, expired transients, and orphaned metadata. Database table optimization can also be scheduled daily, weekly, or monthly.
- Debloat controls: Disable or limit selected WordPress functions, including the Heartbeat API, emojis, embeds, XML-RPC, REST API discovery links, and self pingbacks.
- Monitoring: Web Vitals Analytics provides real-time Core Web Vitals monitoring.
Practical use cases
Use BerqWP Premium for business sites, blogs, multilingual websites, online stores, and pages built with popular editors or themes. It supports Apache, Nginx, and LiteSpeed servers and can be used with any hosting provider. The plugin also works with Cloudflare, external CDNs, WooCommerce, Elementor, Divi Builder, common SEO plugins, and several multilingual tools.
Installation
Install and activate BerqWP on a WordPress website running PHP 7.4 or above. If the hosting provider has a built-in speed optimizer, disable it to avoid overlapping optimization. Activate the license key, choose the desired optimization mode, and save the settings. Sandbox Mode can be used first to test the optimization without affecting visitors. BerqWP then handles cache generation and the selected optimization tasks automatically.
