What is it?

WP Rocket is a caching plugin for WordPress, aimed at decreasing how long a website takes to load. It is distributed as a PHP plugin and can also be installed as a Composer dependency, where the plugin needs a license email and API key defined in wp-config.php before it validates.

The repository holds the plugin source along with build tooling: Gulp tasks compile the admin CSS and JavaScript in minified and unminified forms, and a beacon script is built alongside them. The project's topics point to features such as page caching, minification, lazy loading, and database cleanup.

Documentation is published in English and French. Bug reports go to the GitHub issue tracker, while support requests are handled through the vendor's ticket system, and security reports are routed through the Patchstack disclosure program.
