| Editions | Breeze | WP Super Cache |
| 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 | Serves cached static HTML, reducing PHP load; Simple and expert modes; Cache preloading and automatic expiry of old files |
| 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 | No CSS or JavaScript minification; Cloudflare or other proxies can make the built-in test report false failures; Object cache support only applies when a persistent object cache is installed |
