| Pros | Completely free with no upsell; Page cache, minify, CDN rewrite and DB cleanup in one plugin; Built-in Varnish purge and WooCommerce-aware cache rules; WP-CLI commands and a REST endpoint to clear cache; Version rollback screen | Converts uploads to WebP on the server with GD or Imagick; Optional Cloudflare cache rules and cache purge; Core WebP conversion works without a licence |
| Cons | No object cache backend of its own; it only flushes an existing one; Cloudflare and Varnish features depend on Cloudways hosting; Browser cache and gzip rules are written to .htaccess, so Apache only | AVIF output and cloud conversion need the PRO licence; Upgrade prompts appear in the admin and plugin list; Cloud conversion sends images to a vendor API |
