In many cultures, the number 7 is associated with good fortune or magical symbolism.<\/p>

Moreover, in France, the country where WP Rocket was born, number 7, is usually associated with the age of reason.<\/p>

Whether you want to interpret it as good luck, magic, or reason, we all agree on one thing: the number 7 has a unique charm. <\/p>


And this year, we’re super excited to celebrate the seventh anniversary of WP Rocket. <\/strong><\/p>

Towards the end of the article, we will talk in more detail about the party we have organized. <\/em>?<\/p>

If you are a long-time reader of our blog, you already know that on this occasion, we like to create a list with as many items as the years of WP Rocket (hello, list lovers!<\/em>).
Read the list we created for our <\/em>sixth<\/em><\/a> and <\/em>fifth<\/em><\/a> anniversaries.<\/em><\/p>

In this article, therefore, we will retrace seven lessons we have learned in these first seven years of life and see how WP Rocket has evolved during this period.<\/p>

7 lessons learned in 7 years of WP Rocket<\/h2>

Seven years is a special time frame. WP Rocket is no longer a start-up product but is still a young, dynamic plugin that continues to innovate and grow. <\/p>

That’s also how we feel about being part of the WP Rocket team. We have learned many lessons over the years; we have somehow reached our “age of reason,” but we continue to look to the future with optimism and a desire to improve.<\/p>

Are you curious about the seven lessons we’ve learned over the years?
Here is our path to the age of reason. ?<\/p>

1. Know Who You Are<\/h3>

Defining your business identity can sometimes be a steep path. But it\u2019s important to focus on this right away and to determine the values on which your economic activity is based.<\/p>

At WP Rocket, our core values were clear from the start: ease of use, efficiency, and support<\/strong>. With these values in mind, we have walked these seven years of our plugin.<\/p>

Having a robust value system<\/em> does not mean that our visual identity<\/strong> has always remained the same: on the contrary! We have experienced a lot.<\/p>

You don’t believe it? Here’s the proof!<\/p>

The first WP Rocket website was born in 2013<\/strong> and was only in French.<\/p>

A few months after that, the team started to dream about exploring other markets.

In 2014,<\/strong> a multilingual crew got on board the rocket for a second launch: our website was now translated in French, English, German, Spanish and Italian. We also introduced our new logo!<\/p>

2017 marked the third launch of the rocket. We updated our logo and our brand identity, opting for colors and patterns that would focus on performance and speed. <\/p>

The website you all know was born!<\/p>

A little spoiler:<\/em> since we never stop learning and firmly believe in constant improvement, we have something new in store for our visual identity. ?<\/p>

Then there’s something else that we have inaugurated in this seventh year.<\/p>

We have expanded the scope of WP Rocket to include a new service: RocketCDN<\/strong>.<\/p>

RocketCDN is our premium optimized CDN<\/a> with a dedicated CNAME. We directly integrated it into WP Rocket, thanks to the Stackpath API. Thanks to this service, our customers can now make their websites faster for their end-users, no matter where they are in the world!<\/p>
