Short verdict
If you run client sites, and you need white label audits, rollback safety, and seat pricing for agencies, TheWebBooster is the better fit.

TheWebBooster is built for teams, it gives safe rollouts, team tools, and lead gen utilities that help you win and keep clients.
How we compared them
We looked at product pages, feature lists, agency tools, and case studies. We focus on the differences that matter for Core Web Vitals, site stability, and client workflows. For any numeric claim in this post, link back to the case study or the relevant feature page. Always run a local Lighthouse test on your pages before you switch.
Feature by feature comparison
Below are the key differences that matter for agency owners and small businesses.
Setup and platform support
TheWebBooster. One line install, no code, setup in minutes. Works with WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Squarespace, BigCommerce, and GoHighLevel. You can optimize sites you do not host, and you can offer a managed flow for clients.
NitroPack. Strong WordPress integration, plugin based workflow. Good for sites you control, less tailored to some hosted builders and agency flows.
Caching and architecture
TheWebBooster. Managed caching that mixes edge cache and intelligent server rules. The service runs staged tests on a clone, picks settings, then applies them with one click. That cuts the risk of a live site breaking.
NitroPack. Frontend and edge caching that speeds pages. It gives good wins for many sites, and it is plugin oriented.
CDN and edge
TheWebBooster. Uses a fast global CDN stack and provides Brotli compression and modern delivery by default. This helps global users reach content faster.
NitroPack. Uses CDN and edge delivery. Both tools reduce latency. TheWebBooster focuses on a managed rollout and agency workflows.
Image optimization and formats
TheWebBooster. Auto convert to WebP and AVIF, responsive srcset, automatic compression. The site also hosts free image tools to help onboarding.
NitroPack. Image conversion and lazy loading are part of the stack. It performs well for standard sites.
JS and CSS handling
TheWebBooster. Critical CSS generation, smart JS defer rules, and safe rollback. Clone based testing reduces the risk of critical JS breaking a live site.
NitroPack. Aggressive optimization and script combination. That can give big wins, but complex sites may need tuning.
Agency tools and workflows
This is where TheWebBooster stands out.
- White label audits. Generate branded PDF audits you can share with clients. Use them to win work.
- Client management. Central dashboard for multiple clients, seats, and roles.
- Bulk seat pricing. Seats scale down with volume. The first bulk seat purchase has a trial, and agency accounts can be created for free.
- Managed optimization. TheWebBooster offers a managed service and rollback protection, which matters when you manage many sites.
NitroPack offers agency tiers. TheWebBooster centers the product on agency workflows and reporting.
Pricing and value, in USD
Price matters when you run many client sites. Here are the USD prices presented clearly.
| Plan | Price per month, USD | Trial |
|---|---|---|
| Individual Starter | $24.00 | 7 day free trial |
| Professional | $36.00 | 7 day free trial |
| Agency Bulk Seats | $12.00 down to $5.00 per seat, with volume discounts | 3 day free trial on first bulk seat purchase |
The Starter plan includes automated performance optimization, image compression, code minification, Core Web Vitals monitoring, and real time analytics. The Professional plan adds priority support and advanced analytics. Agency bulk seats give you multi client management and white label options. See the signup and agency pages for full details.
Real case studies, with outcomes
Numbers matter to clients. Here are three results published on our site.
- Bright Smiles Dental. LCP went from 4.8s to 1.7s, bookings rose 24 percent. See the case study page for details.
- Urban Threads Boutique. LCP went from 5.2s to 2.1s, revenue rose 18 percent. See the case study page.
- Fuelitize. LCP went from 3.9s to 1.4s, leads rose 31 percent. See the Fuelitize case study.
Each case pairs a performance gain with a real business result. Download the audit PDFs on the case study pages for the raw Lighthouse reports.
Migration and safety checklist
Moving a live client to a new optimizer is sensitive. Use this checklist.
- Create a full backup or snapshot.
- Run baseline Lighthouse tests on pages that matter. Capture LCP, CLS, TTFB, and TBT.
- Clone the site, or use TheWebBooster staging flow. Run automated changes on the clone, review them.
- Deploy to production in a low traffic window, enable monitoring.
- If an issue appears, use the one click rollback.
- Re-run Lighthouse. Save the JSON files as proof.
This flow reduces risk, and it is how TheWebBooster is meant to be used with client sites.
How to test for yourself
If you want to trust the numbers, test.
- Tools. Lighthouse in Chrome stable, WebPageTest for network simulation.
- Pages. Test home, product, and high traffic landing pages.
- Runs. Do five runs and use median results.
- Metrics. Capture LCP, CLS, FCP, TBT, and TTFB.
- Compare. Take a baseline, then test NitroPack, then test TheWebBooster with the same page and network type. Publish the JSON files and screenshots.
We provide downloadable Lighthouse JSON in our case studies so you can verify claims.
