BerqWP Premium for WordPress Performance

From page request to prepared cache

BerqWP Premium brings WordPress caching, CDN delivery, picture handling, CSS and JavaScript optimization, database maintenance, and Core Web Vitals tools into one add-on. Selected tasks execute automatically, reducing the need to manage several separate optimization add-ons.

When cloud-based optimization is enabled with a valid license key, BerqWP sends site pages to the BerqWP Photon Engine. It creates optimized copies and stores them as cache. This process is intended to reduce optimization work on the hosting server.

How cache preparation and delivery work

BerqWP creates an initial optimized cache quickly, then builds a more fully optimized cache in the background. Automatic cache warmup keeps cache documents prepared. Smart cache invalidation detects page changes and recreates the affected cache.

Static cache files can be served directly from the web server without running PHP or database queries. BerqWP configures cache rules automatically for Apache, with cache support for Nginx as well.

Image handling and page loading

BerqWP CDN can deliver container-sized, retina-ready WebP images. The add-on can convert images to WebP, lazy-load images and embeds, and preload images identified as contributing to Largest Contentful Paint.

Speculative API support uses browser-based prefetching to help returning users load pages quickly. Sandbox Mode lets you test optimization without affecting actual visitors.

Database upkeep and WordPress controls

Database cleanup can remove revisions, auto-drafts, trashed posts and comments, expired transients, and orphaned metadata. Schedule database table optimization daily, weekly, or monthly.

Debloat controls let you disable or limit selected WordPress functions, including the Heartbeat API, emojis, embeds, XML-RPC, REST API discovery links, and self pingbacks. Web Vitals Analytics includes real-time Core Web Vitals monitoring.

Site types and compatible tools

BerqWP Premium can be used for business sites, blogs, multilingual sites, online stores, and pages built with popular editors or themes. It supports Apache, Nginx, and LiteSpeed servers and works with any hosting provider. Compatible tools include Cloudflare, external CDNs, WooCommerce, Elementor, Divi Builder, common SEO add-ons, and several multilingual tools.

Installation and first setup

Install and activate BerqWP on a WordPress site running PHP 7.4 or above. If your hosting provider has a built-in speed optimizer, disable it to avoid overlapping optimization. Activate the license key, choose an optimization mode, and save the options. You can use Sandbox Mode first to test optimization without affecting visitors. BerqWP then handles cache generation and the selected optimization tasks automatically.
