| Pros | Page caching with cache purge on post and product saves; Minification and CSS/JS optimisation from the dashboard; Works with Cloudflare, Fastly, LiteSpeed and Sucuri cache headers | Serves cached static HTML, reducing PHP load; Simple and expert modes; Cache preloading and automatic expiry of old files |
| Cons | Optimisation runs on NitroPack servers, so the site depends on the service; Free plan is limited to one site and monthly page views and CDN bandwidth; Higher limits and most advanced features need a paid subscription | 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 |
