Best WordPress performance plugin I have tested
BerqWP is honestly the best WordPress performance plugin I have tested so far. It is very easy to configure, even without being a technical expert, and the results are excellent. The plugin is clear, efficient, and extremely powerful. What I really like is that it improves performance without making the setup complicated. Everything feels simple, clean, and effective. After testing several optimization plugins, BerqWP is the one that impressed me the most. Highly recommended.

Good One
This plugin I used on my website and it was simply amazing; the speed performance of PSI is 90+ always and the site speed was also good.But there is some problem that needs improvement in CDN performance. Overall great product!

Plugin is highly unstable, beta dev version at best
The plugin used to work just fine, to an extent, with a bunch of smaller issues which we rectified with custom code instead (the developer to this day refuses to acknowledge those issues and/or fix them in his code and keeps ignoring our repeat reminders of those issues), but in the last month or two the functionality of the plugin has degraded so much, even after so many updates and "improvements", to the point where it doesn't even cache pages anymore - it says it will start caching within 5 minutes, but 2 days later we have yet to see a single page cached.A single developer behind the plugin with no support team doesn't help the situation, as I'm sure he is getting slammed with support tickets (which he rarely answers - we've gotten some sort of a response or two after a few weeks but only after repeat follow-ups to our issues), and as such this plugin has turned into a dead weight, something with tons of promises but zero delivery whatsoever.Seems like we'll have to remove it from a few dozen sites we installed it on and replace it with something more reliable instead, as anything at this point would work so much better than this plugin. The developer of this plugin has bit more than he could chew on this one, apparently, and now it's starting to show, and he refused to hire help (developers or tech support) to fix the ongoing issues that have been lingering for months and are affecting the basic, core functionality of the plugin.

Massive page optimization
For a normal WP site, in my case built with Brizy, it even works in aggressive mode without breaking things. A year ago it broke the same site. Meanwhile the developers obviously improved this. On FlyWP, Alwyzon and Cloudflare the site is fast, but didn't have good pagespeedinsights, gtmetrix scores. With the plugin perfect scores. I think best is to avoid mixing it with any other optimization plugins like image optimization. And don't mix it with Cloudflare rocket loader or similar. So finally I think this is the perfect few click wp optimization plugin working seemlessly with cloudflare.
