Rocket Insights

The Rocket Insights Add-on is available from WP Rocket 3.20 version, and it uses GTmetrix to show and monitor the performance grade of a website based on specific pages.

This feature is available in a free and a premium plan, and it can be found in the Rocket Insights tab:

In the Performance Summary section, you will find the performance results of the monitored pages, with the options to add and remove pages, re-test the pages, and see the reports.

Rocket Insights free plan

The free plan allows up to 3 URLs, or 3 tests per month.

When the limit is reached, the Re-Test and See Report buttons will be unavailable, and the scores will be blurred until the next reset date (30 days period).

Rocket Insights premium plan

The premium plan allows up to 10 URLs, and infinite tests.

Additionally, the Performance Monitoring feature will be available in this premium plan to help you automatically test the monitored pages in a daily, weekly or monthly basis.

Rocket Insights Score

Additionally, you can easily find the average score of the tracked pages in the Rocket Insights Score section in the WP Rocket's dashboard tab.

Troubleshoot

If the Rocket Insights tests are not completed and the grade is not displayed after a long time, or, you see an error instead of the grade, please make sure your site meets the following requirements:

• Be publically accessible.
• Meet the same Remove Unused CSS's basic requirements.
• GTmetrix requirements:
  • Have a valid and trusted SSL certificate, as per this.
  • Allow requests from these locations/IPs.

If the Rocket Insights tab is not present, make sure:

• Your site does not use a staging domain from this list.

Technical notes

• The GTmetrix tests will use the iPhone 13/13 Pro/14/16e device and the Unthrottled Connection parameter.
• The test location will be the closest physical location automatically detected with geolocation. If the geolocation can't happen (sites using services like Cloudflare), the default location will be Seattle, WA, USA.
• More information about the reports can be found in the GTmetrix documentation.
• If your site uses mandatory cookies, the test will run on the non-cached version of the page, and the results will not be correct. For those sites, Rocket Insights is unfortunately not a good tool to use. It's recommended to use the GTmetrix tool directly, as cookies and other parameters can be customized.
