BEST CACHE PLUGIN – enterprise performance, features, reliability

I’ve been using LiteSpeed server for over 10 years, LiteSpeed cache for nearly 10 years (almost since the beginning). They keep developing and innovating, nothing else even comes close.

Works great with Hostinger

Works great with Hostinger. I’ve had to toy with a few of the settings to get the optimized results I was looking for but that was easy to do.

Отличный плагин для оптимизации плеера YouTube

Уже пару лет плагин установлен на нескольких сайтах, и вот сейчас установил ещё на один.

Установил, потыкался и удалил

Я ставлю одну звезду потому что так и не смог воспользоваться этим плагином. После установки, что я только не делал, но в редакторе не появилось меню вставки видео с rutube и я удалил этот плагин. Жал

Была проблема с плагином, очень быстро помог и сделал хотфикс.
