Hello! I would like to know your opinion on the most efficient compression and caching method on the server side.

obvs make sure cloudflare isn't overriding this stuff if you're using it for caching / cdn.

If you can, use amazon s3. You can connect a domain using route 53. Here is a property I just launched, currently speed optimizing it even further, and will then connect my domain to it once I'm done: http://online-casino-guide.s3-websit...amazonaws.com/

Lately I use LiteSpeed Cache plugin, now it includes free QUIC CDN.

It replaced many plugins for me:
*cach
*image compression
*webp image generation
*css/js/html minify
*js defer
*cdn
*many other small things like DNS prefetch, removing wordpress EMOJI, etc

Actually, their CDN was a decition maker for me. I always try to optimize website perfectly, but no matter how fast it would be, it still will take at least 2 seconds if server is in EU, but visitor from US. But with QUIC CDN it took me just 20m to setup and now I have different servers for each part of world. As you see, test shows that almost from every country my website loads from different(closest) IP:



Another good option is WP-Rocket plugin, but combined with Asset Cleanup, Flying images and cloudflare. It is more complicated option, but if you know what you are doing, it can be faster than litespeed + quic.

Litespeed cache is also my option.

Extremely fast and flexible, I never thought of using another caching plugin.

I still don’t use Quic Cloud, because I haven’t had time to configure it, but it’s definitely something we’re going to do soon; I’ve heard very good things about how it works. Better than a traditional CDN.
