Is the WP Rocket Black Friday sale live, and which license should you buy? Yes, it has been live since November 5. The WP Rocket Black Friday sale takes 40% off 1-year licenses and 60% off 3-year licenses, and WP Rocket applies the discount on its own.
The sale runs until December 2, so it covers Black Friday and Cyber Monday. The countdown on WP Rocket’s site points to November 28 for now, and WP Rocket has moved that countdown later in each of the last 3 years.
My advice is to take the 3-year license if WP Rocket already runs well on your sites. If you haven’t used it, I’d start the 14-day trial before December 2, because the trial holds the sale price.
WP Rocket Black Friday Deal
WP Rocket is a paid cache plugin that bloggers and marketers use to speed up a WordPress site. These are the sale terms on its own pages:
- Offer: 40% off 1-year licenses and 60% off 3-year licenses, on every plan.
- Started: November 5, 2026.
- Ends: December 2, 2026. The countdown on WP Rocket’s site points to November 28 for now.
- Code: none. The buy buttons apply the discount.
- Who gets it: first-time buyers. WP Rocket’s pages don’t offer it on renewals or upgrades.
- Renewal: after the first term, the license renews every year at WP Rocket’s regular renewal price.
- Free trial: optional and 14 days long. The trial buttons carry the same discount.
- Cyber Monday: WP Rocket’s site lists no separate offer.
When the Sale Ends
Black Friday 2026 falls on November 27 and Cyber Monday on November 30. The sale runs until December 2, so it covers both.
The countdown on WP Rocket’s site shows an earlier date, November 28. That has happened before, because WP Rocket moved the end date on its banner in each of the last 3 years:
- 2023: from November 25 to November 30.
- 2024: from November 30 to December 5.
- 2025: from November 29 to December 4.
Each of those first dates was the day after Black Friday, the same as this year’s November 28 countdown. If you’d rather not depend on the countdown moving, I’d buy by November 27.
WP Rocket Black Friday Prices
The 1-year price covers the first year of a yearly license. The 3-year price is 1 payment upfront for the full 3 years:
| Plan | Regular price | 1 year, 40% off | 3 years, 60% off |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single (1 site) | $59.95 a year | $35.97 | $70.36 |
| Plus (3 sites) | $119.95 a year | $71.97 | $140.92 |
| Multi 50 (50 sites) | $299.95 a year | $179.97 | $352.60 |
| Multi 100 (100 sites) | $399.95 a year | $239.97 | $467.51 |
| Multi 500 (500 sites) | $599.95 a year | $359.97 | $705.40 |
WP Rocket’s pricing page shows the 3-year prices per month, from $1.95 for Single to $19.59 for Multi 500. The totals in the table are what you pay upfront, before tax.
The 60% is measured against 3 years at the regular yearly price, which is $179.85 for Single. Outside a sale, a 3-year Single license costs $125.64, so the Black Friday price of $70.36 is 44% below that.
1 Year or 3 Years
The 3-year license is the better buy this time. On the Single plan it costs $70.36, which is less than twice the 1-year sale price of $35.97.
| Single license | You pay now | Covers | After that |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 year | $35.97 | 1 year | Renews every year at the regular renewal price |
| 3 years | $70.36 | 3 years | Renews every year at the 1-year renewal price |
WP Rocket doesn’t print the renewal amount on its pricing page. If it matches today’s $59.95 list price, 3 years on the 1-year license come to $155.87. That total is my estimate, and it is more than double the 3-year price.
The longer term has a cost too. You pay for all 3 years upfront, and the refund window is 14 days.
If WP Rocket already runs well on your sites, I’d take the 3-year license at 60% off. If you haven’t used it, my suggestion is to start the 14-day trial and decide before December 2.
Which WP Rocket Plan to Buy
WP Rocket sells 5 licenses, and they differ by the number of websites:
- Single: 1 website, at $59.95 a year before the discount.
- Plus: 3 websites, at $119.95 a year.
- Multi 50: 50 websites, at $299.95 a year. Client sites are allowed.
- Multi 100: 100 websites, at $399.95 a year.
- Multi 500: 500 websites, at $599.95 a year. Above that, WP Rocket sells a custom license.
Every license includes updates, support, Rocket Insights and the free tier of RocketCDN. Every plan also gets the same 40% or 60% off in this sale.
For 1 website I’d buy Single, and for 2 or 3 I’d buy Plus. WP Rocket has no license between 3 websites and 50, so a 4th website takes you straight to Multi 50. My WP Rocket pricing guide goes through the plans and the renewal cost.
WP Rocket Black Friday Prices by Year
WP Rocket has discounted its 1-year licenses every Black Friday, and the sale has started earlier each year:
| Year | Discount | Single | Plus | Infinite or Multi 50 | Sale live by |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 30% off 1 year | $41.30 | $83.30 | $209.30 (Infinite) | November 21 |
| 2024 | 40% off 1 year | $35.40 | $71.40 | $179.40 (Infinite) | November 19 |
| 2025 | 40% off 1 year | $35.40 | $71.40 | $179.40 (Multi 50) | November 13 |
| 2026 | 40% off 1 year, 60% off 3 years | $35.97 | $71.97 | $179.97 (Multi 50) | November 5 |
The Infinite license covered unlimited sites until WP Rocket replaced it with the Multi tiers in 2025. WP Rocket also raised its list prices by 95 cents in September 2026, which puts each 1-year sale price 57 cents above last year’s.
This is the first Black Friday with a 3-year license and a free trial. WP Rocket added both in October 2026.
Is Black Friday the Lowest Price?
Yes, going by the other sales WP Rocket has run this year:
- Spring sale: 25% off, until April 18. I track it on my WP Rocket spring sale page.
- Anniversary sale: 30% off, until July 8. It has its own WP Rocket anniversary sale page.
- September sale: 25% off again, until September 23.
- Halloween sale: 20% off 1 year and 40% off 3 years, until November 3.
- Black Friday: 40% off 1 year and 60% off 3 years.
Outside a sale, WP Rocket has 3 standing discounts:
- Newsletter coupon: 20% off for subscribing to WP Rocket’s promo newsletter, listed on its coupons page. You type the code at checkout.
- Referral link: 20% off for a new buyer who comes through a customer’s referral link. During a sale, the buyer gets the sale price in its place.
- 3-year license: 30% off all year, paid upfront.
WP Rocket allows 1 promotional code per order, so the newsletter coupon doesn’t stack with the Black Friday price. It lists no student or nonprofit discount, and it has no free plan.
The Fine Print
These are the terms I’d read before paying:
- Free trial: optional, 14 days, on any license, with every feature and support.
- Card: WP Rocket asks for a credit card when the trial starts and charges it 14 days later, unless you cancel in your account first.
- Trial price: WP Rocket’s terms fix the first payment at the price shown when the trial starts.
- Refund: 14 days, on a license bought without the trial. Upgrades and yearly renewals are covered too.
- After a trial: the first payment isn’t refundable.
- Renewal: automatic, every 12 months, with a reminder email 15 days before that states the amount.
- If you don’t renew: the plugin keeps running, without updates, support, Remove Unused CSS, Rocket Insights or the free CDN.
- Upgrades: you pay the difference between the 2 plans, and the expiry date stays the same.
- Lifetime license: WP Rocket doesn’t sell one.
- Tax and currency: tax is added at checkout, and prices show in dollars or euros depending on where you are.
So you get the trial or the refund, and not both. I’d pick the trial if you want 14 days on your own site before any money leaves your account. If you buy directly, the 14-day refund does the same job.
What You Get With WP Rocket
Whatever your website is, a personal blog, a food blog or a small business site, its speed matters. I recommend WP Rocket as one of the best cache plugins for WordPress, and these are my reasons:
- Simple setup: the configuration is fast, and it needs no programming knowledge. You can see my WP Rocket settings.
- Page caching: it starts as soon as you activate the plugin.
- Cache preloading: WP Rocket builds the cache from your sitemap, so pages are ready before a visitor asks for them.
- Browser caching: static files such as CSS, JavaScript and images load from the reader’s device on repeat visits.
- Rocket Insights: performance monitoring for 10 pages per site. It has been free with every license since version 3.21.
- RocketCDN: every license has a free tier for 3 pages. RocketCDN Pro costs $7.99 a month per site, and WP Rocket shows no Black Friday price for it.
There is one incident from this year I’d want you to know about. On August 20, 2026, WordPress 7.1 caused fatal errors on sites running WP Rocket. WP Rocket shipped a fix the same day and estimated that about 10% of its sites were hit.
My WP Rocket review covers what you get for the money. My list of the best WordPress cache plugins compares it with the others.
A Free Option: GT Performance
Before you pay $59.95 a year for WP Rocket, I’d try GT Performance. It’s my free, open source cache plugin on WordPress.org, and it covers the jobs most blogs and stores buy a cache plugin for:
- Page caching that skips cart, checkout and account pages for WooCommerce, FluentCart and Easy Digital Downloads.
- Cloudflare Free integration that coordinates edge caching with the origin cache.
- Unused CSS removal generated on your own server, with a rollout setting you can turn back to 0%.
- Cache warming from your sitemaps, recent pages first.
It’s free, so there’s no Black Friday price to wait for. If it covers your site, you can skip the sale entirely. For the paid options, I compare the best WP Rocket alternatives.
FAQs on WP Rocket Black Friday
Is the WP Rocket Black Friday sale live?
Yes. It started on November 5, 2026, with 40% off 1-year licenses and 60% off 3-year licenses, and it runs until December 2, 2026.
How much is WP Rocket on Black Friday?
Single costs $35.97 for 1 year or $70.36 for 3 years. Plus costs $71.97 or $140.92, and Multi 50 costs $179.97 or $352.60. The regular prices are $59.95, $119.95 and $299.95 a year.
Do I need a WP Rocket coupon code for Black Friday?
No. The buy buttons on WP Rocket’s site apply the discount. WP Rocket allows 1 promotional code per order, so another coupon can’t be added on top.
Is there a WP Rocket Cyber Monday deal?
WP Rocket’s site lists no separate Cyber Monday offer. The Black Friday sale runs until December 2, so the same prices cover Cyber Monday on November 30.
Can existing customers use the Black Friday price on a renewal?
WP Rocket says the Black Friday discount applies when you buy WP Rocket for the first time. Its pages don’t offer it on renewals or upgrades.
Does WP Rocket have a free trial?
Yes, since October 2026. The trial runs for 14 days on any license and needs a credit card. The first payment after a trial isn’t covered by the 14-day refund.
Does WP Rocket sell a lifetime license?
No. The longest term is the 3-year license, which then renews every year.
What I’d Do
If WP Rocket already runs well on your sites, I’d take the 3-year license before December 2. For 1 site that is $70.36 for 3 years, which is less than twice the 1-year sale price.
If you haven’t used it, I’d start the 14-day trial while the sale is on, since the trial holds the sale price. And if a free plugin would do the job, I’d install GT Performance first.
