Big news: WP Rocket is officially partnering with Webcentral! If you’ve ever wondered which WordPress performance plugin actually works, wonder no more, this one really does.
It’s trusted by over 3 million sites to boost load times, improve Core Web Vitals, and climb higher in search. And, even better, you can install it directly from your Webcentral dashboard. No hunting, no hassle.
It’s performance that just works, no developer (or dev skills) needed. Just you, your dashboard, and a little click-happy magic.
Why WP Rocket?
We teamed up with WP Rocket because they get it: websites need to be fast, simple, and stress-free to run.
We met the WP Rocket team at CloudFest earlier this year and quickly realised we were aligned, both focused on helping small businesses build smarter, faster websites without the tech tangle.
WP Rocket works right out of the box. Just install it and go. Most features are turned on automatically, and the results speak for themselves.
How WP Rocket works with Webcentral
Let’s be honest, speed isn’t optional anymore. Visitors expect fast, google expects fast and your business deserves fast. So how exactly does WP Rocket help your website click faster into gear?
One of the biggest boosts comes from page caching. Normally, every time someone visits your WordPress site, WordPress builds the page from scratch. WP Rocket steps in to create and store a pre-loaded version of your pages, so your site can deliver it instantly, like grabbing a prepped meal from the fridge instead of cooking from scratch. Instant satisfaction, zero mess.
That’s called page caching, and it’s just the beginning.
WP Rocket also fine-tunes a bunch of behind-the-scenes stuff, so you don’t have to scream into the void:
Lazy loading images, so your site doesn’t waste time loading content people haven’t scrolled to yet.
Minifying code (HTML, CSS, and JavaScript), which strips out unnecessary characters to lighten the load.
Optimising CSS delivery, including the option to remove unused CSS.
Deferring JavaScript execution, so key content loads before background scripts.
And cleaning up your database, keeping things tidy behind the scenes.
Best part? You don’t need to tinker with complex settings or deal with any tech hurdles. Most of the speed-boosting features are turned on from the get-go. Like magic, but with better documentation.
But if you’re someone who loves to customise, you’ll find plenty of room to fine-tune your setup inside WP Rocket’s clean, user-friendly dashboard.

What’s next?
We’re putting the finishing touches on the integration now, and WP Rocket will be available as a paid add-on directly through your Webcentral dashboard very soon.
It’ll install like any regular plugin and work seamlessly with your Webcentral WordPress setup. Even better? Webcentral customers will get exclusive partner pricing, premium performance without the premium markup.
From our team
Here’s what Martin Schmidt, our Strategic Business Development Lead, had to say:
“We’re excited to bring WP Rocket to our customers. It’s one of the best WordPress performance plugins out there, and now it fits seamlessly into the Webcentral experience. From the beginning, both our teams were focused on the same goal: giving small business websites the tools they need to perform at their best.”
At Webcentral, we believe your hosting should do more than just keep the lights on. With WP Rocket, it’s helping your site move faster, climb higher in search, and deliver a better experience from the very first visit.
And this is just the beginning. We’re building more performance tools into the Webcentral experience, because better websites shouldn’t be complicated.
