Very easy to use and fast !
BerqWP is the most easy to use speed plugin that makes your site go fast.
Plugin is highly unstable, beta dev version at best
The plugin used to work just fine, to an extent, with a bunch of smaller issues which we rectified with custom code instead (the developer to this day refuses to acknowledge those issues and/or fix them in his code and keeps ignoring our repeat reminders of those issues), but in the last month or two the functionality of the plugin has degraded so much, even after so many updates and “improvements”, to the point where it doesn’t even cache pages anymore – it says it will start caching within 5 minutes, but 2 days later we have yet to see a single page cached.A single developer behind the plugin with no support team doesn’t help the situation, as I’m sure he is getting slammed with support tickets (which he rarely answers – we’ve gotten some sort of a response or two after a few weeks but only after repeat follow-ups to our issues), and as such this plugin has turned into a dead weight, something with tons of promises but zero delivery whatsoever.Seems like we’ll have to remove it from a few dozen sites we installed it on and replace it with something more reliable instead, as anything at this point would work so much better than this plugin. The developer of this plugin has bit more than he could chew on this one, apparently, and now it’s starting to show, and he refused to hire help (developers or tech support) to fix the ongoing issues that have been lingering for months and are affecting the basic, core functionality of the plugin.
Best WordPress performance plugin I have tested
BerqWP is honestly the best WordPress performance plugin I have tested so far. It is very easy to configure, even without being a technical expert, and the results are excellent. The plugin is clear, efficient, and extremely powerful. What I really like is that it improves performance without making the setup complicated. Everything feels simple, clean, and effective. After testing several optimization plugins, BerqWP is the one that impressed me the most. Highly recommended.
Plugin works, but exercise extreme caution with paid plans
I am leaving my review here because the founders are promptly deleting any critical feedback or reviews in their official Facebook community. To be fair to the product itself, the free/base plugin does the job it is supposed to do. However, I strongly advise caution before investing in any of their paid plans due to the highly unethical business practices followed by the founding team. As a legacy customer of their previous products, I was sold this plugin under the guise of an “exclusive, special offer” for loyal users. Shortly after paying a premium, I discovered they launched the exact same deal on AppSumo for less than a third of the price. When I reached out to their support team about this massive discrepancy, I was met with a deeply dismissive attitude. I was told they didn’t break any laws and that it “wasn’t their problem” that I found the cheaper deal later. To make matters worse, when I politely aired my discontent in their Facebook group, my post was immediately deleted. Hiding behind legal technicalities while circumventing fair, ethical business practices—and actively silencing early adopters who speak up—shows a severe lack of integrity. The software might function, but I have completely lost faith in their ecosystem. Proceed with caution before purchasing.

from extraordinary to disappointing and back
Update: Removed BerqWP, latest version cached cart/ and checkout/ page even is mentioned in settings to not cache!!! Update:The latest versions of the plugin have partially fixed the reported problems, but the problem of slow automatic generation of cache pages remained.Review:I already had a caching solution that I was happy with but I was looking for an option to improve my Core Web Vitals score. I searched the net and got the recommendation to test BerqWP. The initial result was WOW, the cache started immediately, the Core Web Vitals scores immediately went from red to green almost to maximum. The application was limited to the Free version to 10 demo pages, so I paid for the first Starter level which offers 100 cache pages and the first problems appeared, the cache was generated very slowly, in some cases after 2-3 days. After about a month the cache problems also appeared, the pictures no longer appeared on the site regardless of the settings. I also tried the next level Business Site in the hope that the WOW plugin from a month ago returns to its initial performance, but at the same time the Core Web Vitals scores returned to the initial red values. I was unable to resolve the issues regardless of the settings, I was left with the impression that the demo version is tweaked and offers enough resources to make you pay, then the performance is set aside after you activate the subscriptions.
