Must Have Plugin
by CleanCode·8 months ago
A plugin that you must install. I can’t build a site without installing this plugin. I hope it gets updated regularly and supports newer versions of WordPress. I love you Albert Peschar.

This plugin is awesome. Solved my problem of css version in a flash. It should be by default in wordpress installation.

Seems to work well as intended!
Extremely Useful

This logic of adding a hash based on last edited date is pure genius and keeps our clients from seeing broken sites.
Seriously useful plugin
by Jesse Sugden·4 years ago
Amazing that it only has 100+ installs. Life was so much harder when I had to tell clients to clear their browser cache all the time, and users had a bad experience until their browser cache was refreshed. This plugin completely removes those hassles. Thanks a lot.
