🆚 Apache Traffic Server vs. WP Rocket

Apache Traffic Server is an open-source high-performance HTTP caching proxy server that serves cached content at the network edge to reduce origin load and improve response times.

It provides an event-driven core with asynchronous native DNS for high concurrency, and supports custom plugins written in C/C++ or Lua for modifying headers, inspecting caches, handling Edge Side Includes, and implementing custom caching algorithms.

WP Rocket is a caching and performance optimization plugin that improves the loading speed of WordPress websites.

It implements several caching layers such as page caching (static HTML), mobile caching (a separate set of cache files for mobile devices), and browser caching (for repeated visits) with automatic preload, Gzip compression, minification of CSS/JS/HTML, lazy loading of images and iframes, CDN integration, and control over the WordPress Heartbeat API.
