On "WP Rocket Now Offers Free CDN For Your Most Important Pages"

Free CDN for critical pages is a smart move that addresses the real performance bottleneck most WordPress sites face, but calling it a breakthrough misses the point—this is table stakes now, not differentiation. Google's Core Web Vitals hammered home that page speed matters, and hosting companies and plugins have been racing to make performance the default rather than a premium feature. What actually matters is whether WP Rocket's implementation beats what Cloudflare Free and native server caching already deliver, and whether site owners will bother configuring it instead of just stacking more plugins. The free tier only works if it meaningfully moves the dial on LCP or CLS for someone's money pages; otherwise it's noise in an already crowded optimization stack.
