Why site owners switch to Optimazz

A built-in performance score, database cleanup, and Heartbeat control ship in the free plugin, features some competitors reserve for paid tiers or don’t offer at all.

Frequently asked questions

Is the free version actually usable, or just a trial?

The dashboard scores your site out of 100 and tells you exactly which toggle to flip next, no guesswork, no separate speed-testing tool.

What does Pro add?

Pro unlocks advanced optimization features, including cache preloading, scheduled database cleanup, advanced file optimization, CDN integration, priority support, and additional performance tools designed for high-traffic websites and WooCommerce stores.

Will it work with my page builder?

Yes. Optimazz is built to work with popular page builders like Elementor, Gutenberg, Bricks, Divi, Beaver Builder, and most modern WordPress themes without requiring any design changes.

Do I need to know code to set it up?

No. Optimazz is designed for beginners and professionals alike. Most sites see significant improvements by simply enabling the recommended settings—no coding or server configuration required.

Can I move from FlyingPress or WP Rocket without breaking my site?

Yes. You can safely switch by disabling your previous optimization plugin, clearing its cache, and activating Optimazz. Your website content and design remain untouched, and you can always fine-tune settings if needed.

How many sites does one Pro license cover?

The number of sites depends on the license you choose. Whether you’re managing a single website, multiple client projects, or an agency portfolio, there’s a plan designed to fit your needs. Check the pricing page for the latest license limits.
