Nitropack? (3)
Hi,
I've seen mixed reviews about Nitropack and wondering if this plugin actually hurt websites SEO or not?
If you've used it, can you please share your experiences?
Fyi The plugin developer said it should help SEO but some users said their SEO rank dropped after using it... And one thing I just noticed for sure is their support sucks.
A developer on Upwork I was considering hiring said it's impossible to achieve at least 50 score on mobile for Google sight speed without this, and I'm thinking about using it for a WC site.
Also wondering if JS would be fixed using the plugin on this website https://developers.google.com/speed/...%2F&tab=mobile ?
Thanks!
I don't think you will get significantly better results with this one than with a free plugin like W3 total cache + CloudFlare.
In particular, regarding your page, this plugin (and any other plugin) is not going to have an impact on these categories:
- Remove unused JavaScript
- Remove unused CSS
- Avoid an excessive DOM size / Minimize main-thread work
These are the first items that Google is recommending you to optimize, and where most of the savings can be made.
Of course, you can activate all the other options (lazy loading / images sizes...). Basically all what @awjtc8 mentioned. That is going to help. But that is not resolving the core issue.
Basically speed optimization plugins are to web performance what diet pills are to weight loss. It gives a little boost, but if you don't change your approach, it won't give you a long-term solution. And like diet pills, you will always find a vendor (affiliate 
) selling you the new shinny diet/SEO plugin.
!jeremie - honestly agreed - w3 is good too, wp rocket just seems easier to use for me hence the recomendation.
Ultimatley to really get speed undercontrol, you need to audit your plugin use, the theme and feature bloat that is usually the cause of slow wordpress.
