Using WP Rocket and your site is still slow?
WP Rocket's defaults are conservative, so many sites install it and see little change. Maki detects WP Rocket on your site and maps each failing PageSpeed audit to the exact WP Rocket tab and option that fixes it — including the exclusions that keep your site from breaking.
What usually slows down WP Rocket sites
Remove Unused CSS is off
Render-blocking and unused CSS are the most common failures on WP Rocket sites. The File Optimization tab's Remove Unused CSS option handles both, with safelists for dynamic elements.
JavaScript isn't delayed
Delay JavaScript Execution postpones non-critical scripts until user interaction, which is often the single biggest Total Blocking Time and INP improvement.
Your LCP image is lazy-loaded
WP Rocket's LazyLoad can catch your hero image. Excluding it in the Media tab can save seconds of LCP.

Does Maki replace WP Rocket?
No. Maki tells you how to configure the tools you already have. If WP Rocket is installed, your fix plan uses WP Rocket's settings.
Will Delay JavaScript break my site?
It can break sliders, menus or consent banners that need to run immediately. Maki's steps include which scripts to exclude and how to verify after each change.
