What plugins and themes actually help with WordPress speed

Still missing the key question—what exactly do you want to improve? Faster page loads? Lower TTFB? Higher Lighthouse scores?

When I log in, WP Rocket doesn’t cache the admin panel. Because of that, both the panel and pages load really slowly.

@Reagan
Your hosting is probably the issue. Might be time to upgrade.

Side note—people always ask ‘how many plugins do you have?’ but that’s not always the issue. Two bad plugins can slow a site more than 30 well-coded ones.

I run a lot of plugins, but they’re all optimized and don’t impact the front end.
