  • Great Plugin

    We have been using Speed Kit for months. The setup was very fast and has been delivering good results ever since. In case of any problems, the support is quick to help.

  • not worth it

    I tried the 30 day trial and regret doing it, after just 2 days my rankings were down 100% and lost all my keywords in Bing and Google seach console and things got worse, no point paying $9.99 after trial, serious waste of money

  • Worst Cache Plugin EVER.

    This is the WORST cache plugin I have ever tried (and I tried a lot). DON'T BELIEVE THE "ONE-CLICK INSTALL" ADVERTISED CLAIMS. After wasting over 7 days trying to get it to work, we are permanently uninstalling this garbage after wasting money buying the premium version. - Caching is way slower than the page load speed advertised in the speed test - Cache doesn't expire. New posts aren't showing up. - Cache plugin sends a cache header of 365 days for your homepage, which means your visitor won't see any updates for the next year, even after uninstalling the plugin. VERY DANGEROUS. - No support at all, despite sending many e-mails with screenshots describing the problem. Baqend doesn't even reply to support tickets. - I paid to buy the official Plesk Speed Kit add-on. After installing, it says i'm on a trial expiring in a few days, asking me to pay again. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME

  • Quick and easy to set up! Great result!

    We are very happy with the result! We decided to try out the Speedkit plugin since we have a lot of videos and images which slowed down our site. It was easy to setup and greatly reduced our website’s loading time. Configuration of the plugin is optional and allows you to tweak it for your requirements like specifying which URLs should be handled by Speedkit. The setup guide on the Baqend website explains everything very well. Also, a base number of requests and traffic per month are free so you can test it to really see the improvement.
