Rocket.net Announces Strategic Partnership With WP Rocket Plugin

The industry-leading managed WordPress hosting platform includes a WP Rocket plugin at no additional cost for WordPress websites to help maximize visitor experience.

West Palm Beach, FL. November 19, 2024

Today, Rocket.net, one of the World’s fastest growing Managed WordPress Hosting Platforms, announced its partnership with WP Rocket, the most popular performance plugin for improving website speed with WordPress.

“We’ve been using WP Rocket on our Rocket.net website since the day we launched,” said Ben Gabler, CEO and Founder of Rocket.net. “We’ve been working towards this partnership for four years because we know how critical visitor experience is for our customers, and we want them to have the very best.“

In 2020, Rocket.net launched with an edge-first approach leveraging Cloudflare Enterprise and a robust private cloud hosting platform, ultimately delivering WordPress websites faster than any other provider with a sub-100ms global TTFB. 

With WP Rocket now in the mix for Rocket.net customers, WordPress websites will receive industry-leading delivery of their assets while leveraging the most powerful and robust performance optimization plugin to provide the ultimate visitor experience while maximizing conversion rates.

“At WP Rocket, we’re always pushing the boundaries of website performance. We continuously refine our optimization methods to meet the latest performance standards, ensuring our users enjoy the best possible experience,” said Agathe Medvedieff, VP of Marketing for WP Rocket. “We’ve also made it super easy for Rocket.net to offer our plugin to their customers automatically, without any hassle of license fees or registration. It’s all about making things simpler and more powerful for everyone involved!”

Rocket.net’s platform, paired with the WP Rocket plugin, enables the following capabilities for every WordPress website in the world:

• Instant Delivery – All WordPress websites deliver with a global sub-100ms TTFB thanks to Cloudflare Enterprise, which is always on and pre-configured.
• Dual Page Caching – With Rocket.net’s full page caching on the edge and WP Rocket’s page cache at the origin, cache misses are accelerated up to 10x by avoiding PHP.
• Automatic Lazy Rendering – WP Rocket makes the browser render only the elements visible to users at that moment, resulting in quicker response time, faster interactions, and a better Interaction to Next Paint score.
• Critical Image Optimization – In addition to leveraging Cloudflare Enterprise Polish on Rocket.net, WP Rocket offers the Optimize Critical Images feature that automatically detects, prioritizes, and auto-optimizes the Largest Contentful Paint and the images above the fold by auto-excluding them from LazyLoad — making the website faster right away.
• File Optimization – With WP Rocket in the mix, you can minify your CSS and JS files, reduce unused CSS files, and defer JavaScript to maximize browser load times. You can also delay the execution of JavaScript until user interaction to reduce the initial load time, directly impacting the Largest Contentful Paint and the Interaction to Next Paint grades.
• Database Optimization – WP Rocket also has built-in database optimization features to keep your backend clean and fast. With just two clicks, you can clean out comments, posts, and transients, optimize your database tables, or schedule automatic cleanups.

“At Rocket.net, we’re always focused on providing our customers with the best possible solution that we can, which sometimes includes partnering with the best solutions on the market,” said Gabler. “I’m confident that with this partnership, our customers will receive the best of both worlds on our platform and ultimately drive the best possible visitor experience online.”

WP Rocket is immediately available to all existing and new customers on Rocket.net’s Starter, Pro, and Enterprise plans.

Log in to your Rocket.net account, navigate to the Plugins tab, and click Install Plugin under the WP Rocket featured plugin section!

We will continue to roll WP Rocket out shortly to all Rocket.net plans as we continue to work closely with WP Rocket on our new partnership.
