    I'm considering getting WP Rocket in the future. Has anyone had good experience with the plugin on your Wordpress websites on a Centminmod server and how does it match up with the other caching plugins like WP Super Cache?

    Old skool user here.

    Am not a fan of plugins with non hard-code, temporary optimization and lots of fancy pants marketing fuss. Where you don't know exactly what the plugin has optimized. With possible compatibility issues as a result.

    Based on this recent WP Rocket review you can easily hard-code optimize, do this yourself.

    - Combine Javascripts if possible
    - Combine CSS stylefiles if possible
    - Cleanup your code and remove unnecessary stuff
    - Minify JavaScript
    - Minify CSS
    - Optimize images
    - If used, minify static HTML
    - Cache pages and static assets with Centminmod- Nginx cache or Nginx Redis cache

    I don't bother, Centmin Mod Wordpress auto installer plugins and cache are usually enough.

    I use it on a couple of websites and have done for a few years now. It's been very problem-free. Only had one update bork a website with an auto-update a few years ago. And WP rocket allows you to revert to prior updates, so it was trivial to fix.
    I find it tends to work better with heavier and more bloated WP sites. And it really works well with Woocommerce sites and membership sites because it can cache logged in users.
    Just make sure to follow the instructions in this thread to get the most out of it when it's used with Nginx and CM.
    Black Friday is coming up, so you'll probably be able to get a discount on a licence and have a play with it
