Overview
FlyingPress is a premium caching and optimisation plugin sold by FlyingWeb LLC, which also runs a managed hosting service, FlyingHost, with FlyingPress included in its plans.[5] The plugin is not listed on WordPress.org and is sold by annual subscription; an active licence is required to use it and to receive updates and support.[5]
The vendor’s pricing model is unusual in the category: every plan includes the same feature set, and tiers differ only by the number of sites.[5] Features listed on the pricing page include page caching with preloading and automatic refresh when content changes, cloud page optimisation that prioritises critical CSS, fonts and media, image compression with WebP or AVIF conversion, Core Web Vitals analytics measured from real users by page, device and country, and Redis object caching on hosts that provide a Redis server and the PHP Redis extension.[5] WooCommerce support keeps cart and checkout dynamic while caching the storefront, and a Cloudflare integration is included.[5]
Limitations are documented by the vendor: cloud optimisation needs the vendor’s servers to reach the site, so it does not work on localhost, and FlyingCDN is a separately billed service.[5] Recognised staging domains do not use a licence slot, which reduces cost for agencies that run staging copies.
