Configuration
Swift Performance AI offers over 200 options, but it has the ability to automatically configure itself. Although you do have the option to adjust the settings, in most cases, you don't need to touch them.In contrast, WP Fastest Cache has only 30+ options, but they require manual configuration. The admin interface is quite simplistic, but still difficult to navigate as many settings only appear in pop-ups when we enable an option. Additionally, it is limited in terms of customization, yet some level of expertise is required to be able to use it.

Page Caching
WP Fastest Cache offers a basic preload feature that has a minimal set of options. However, users need to manually enable it and configure the cache lifespan by setting up rules that might require some technical knowledge. Additionally, WP Fastest Cache does not support LSCache, and Cloudflare APO integration requires a separate plugin.Swift Performance AI utilizes advanced algorithms to prioritize URLs and manage cache lifespan automatically. It also employs multi-level optimization for faster cache preloading and has built-in support for LSCache and Cloudflare. Additionally, it offers Proxy caching, which provides the same functionality as Cloudflare APO for free.
With Swift Performance fragments, you can load dynamic content on cached pages, such as Gutenberg blocks, Elementor widgets, and shortcodes. This enables you to use caching for logged-in visitors while still displaying the admin bar and loading the appropriate prices for multi-currency shops.
CSS Optimization
WP Fastest Cache provides only basic optimization features, such as combining and minifying CSS. However, the plugin lacks additional optimization options, such as Critical CSS or optimizing font/CSS delivery.Swift Performance AI generates a dependable and efficient Critical CSS that is unique to each URL to ensure that every page operates safely without requiring manual tweaks.
Furthermore, Swift Performance AI can utilize the generated Critical CSS to optimize page performance for logged-in users, even if logged-in caching is disabled. This guarantees that both logged-in and non-logged-in users enjoy the same advantages of optimized CSS.
CSS Optimization
JavaScript Optimization
Swift Performance's AI technology can remove render-blocking scripts by offloading them from the main thread. Moreover, Swift Performance's script optimization feature is very compatible with third-party services, plugins, and themes. The platform can automatically optimize JavaScript without requiring any manual configuration.
WP Fastest Cache has limited capabilities in terms of script optimization - it can only combine scripts or move them to the footer. While it can rectify some error messages in testing tools, for pages with a lot of JavaScript, WP Fastest Cache may actually lead to worse results.
Also moving all scripts in the footer can potentially create compatibility problems with third-party resources and plugins.

Image Optimization
Swift Performance AI offers an unlimited and free image optimizer to address the issue of unoptimized images, which can be larger than the combined size of all your CSS files.This optimizer can effectively optimize even third-party and background images. In addition, Swift Performance employs a modern WebP-first strategy and can resize images to fit the appropriate size for each device without relying on a CDN or JavaScript.
To utilize WP Fastest Cache image optimizer, you are required to purchase credits, which can be a considerable amount. Also WP Fastest Cache can't resize images on the fly.
Image Optimization
Video & Iframe Optimization
Video & Iframe Optimization
Swift Performance AI offers a comprehensive range of optimization features, including the ability to optimize dynamically added iframes and embedded content from Google Maps, Youtube, and Vimeo.WP Fastest Cache is limited in its ability to optimize iframes. While it can lazyload iframes, it cannot utilize placeholders, and it lacks the capability to manage dynamically added iframes.
Pricing
WP Fastest Cache offers licenses for a one-time payment, but it does not provide an unlimited plan and only grants a one-year license transfer right. While WP Fastest Cache may seem cost-effective for a single site from the second year onwards, it is important to note that you must also buy credits for the image optimizer, which can be quite pricey.Swift Performance provides an unlimited lifetime license, making it a more cost-effective option for advanced users.

With the release of Swift Performance AI, with just a few clicks, top page speed values are achieved that were not even achieved with the older Pro version, let alone those of other competitors.
Crazy speed!

Before Swift Performance Pro, I was alternating between WP Rocket, WPTC and Cache Enabler. But after reading reviews on Swift Performance Pro, I bought a license and have been delighted every since.
10/10 – Will buy again

I was using a lot of free caching plugins for our sites and tried some of the very well known Premium ones.
However, neither of these come close to Swift’s Pro plugin’s all-in-one uniqueness, innovations and overall speeding up sites in so short period of time after you install it on the site.

Excellent!!!

I’ve tried a dozen performance plugins, many of them actually making page loads worse. This simple plugin is fantastic. Brought a C rated site to an A. Thank you!
The ultimate solution

Just set this up (pretty much out of the box) and enjoy a fast site, 96/100 mobile and 100/100 desktop for the new page speed, that´s a hard trick to pull. Thank you guys!
