Our verdict
WP Rocket is the safer, self-hosted classic. NitroPack is aggressive and can leapfrog scores but rewrites your HTML through a proxy — some devs hate that. Neither tells you what's actually broken on your site. AITurboWordPress uses AI to diagnose the real bottleneck and applies safe fixes without proxying your traffic.
