  • Great Plugin

    I finally made the jump from WP Rocket to Breeze. I was worried about the lack of 'bells and whistles,' but the speed scores are exactly where they need to be. The way it handles Varnish purging is more reliable than any third-party plugin I’ve used. I also appreciate that they are actively maintaining it—the recent updates show they are committed to making this a top-tier tool.

  • Cancerous plugin！

    I always thought that after installing and uninstalling a plugin, all the leftovers would disappear, but this one doesn’t.

  • I Am A Fan of Breeze

    As a Cloudways user, I have Breeze installed on all 10+ of my WordPress websites. I find it to be a very solid cache plugin. My oldest site was using WP Rocket instead. Recently switched that one to Breeze, too, and have no regrets. My belief is that the rating for this plugin is too low. Cache is difficult and can be confusing, that's the nature of the beast.

  • Stunning performance!

    Finally, a performance plugin that actually does its job! This one, combined with an image converter to AVIF/WebP plugin, and your website will fly!
