The optional page cache is the only APCu-powered full-page cache for WordPress, and includes cache exclusion rules, cache flushing and profiler/debugging options.
Once, when activating the plugin, an integrity…
Thank you for this great plugin, so far, the best object cache for wordpress and woocommerce.
But since it seems to be more active ive switched.
i couldnt really find any benefit, maybe a little bit slower 0,2s…?
Nice UI. But please, make that “auto deactivate page cache” more obvios i atleast tried to activate it 30 times and was maximal confused. Then i saw “dont use multiple caches blabla”.
I dont know if its usefull or not, but couldnt we apc cache the [insert caching solution] in my case wp rocket result? Would that be faster?
Great plugin and the only one around.
Started to use this plugin to get my Objekt-Cache to a better use and a bit more site speed.
I noticed some options that hadn’t changed like getting my WooCommerce live and after a bit of digging I noticed that this plugin was preventing the changes form being saved.
Today I woke up to a blank Frontsite and a blank admin dashboard and I panicked a bit. After deactivation this plugin everything worked fine again.
Can’t activate the options of this plugin when its installed anymore so I wasn’t able to recreate the problem and check the debug log.
But at least my whole site didn’t get blank anymore.
I spent all day trying to find the source of my website issues, downloaded several other plugins with very little results without a paywall. I narrowed my search and ended up finding Atec page with several very useful plugins. I ended up purchasing the PRO one time fee for the license which unlocked the Atec Deploy plugin. Extremely impressed with the (light weight) resources the plugins offer. I think all the features are very simple for any user to understand, with and impressive amount of detail and configurations that are all compressive. Their tech support is really responsive and answered all my questions. I would highly recommend this to any professional or beginner web developer. Thanks for creating these plugins!
