Overview
Cachify optimizes your page loads by caching posts, pages and custom post types as static content. You can choose between caching via database, on the web server’s hard drive (HDD), Memcached (only on Nginx) or Redis. Whenever a page or post is loaded, it can be pulled directly from the cache. The amount of database queries and PHP requests will dramatically decrease towards zero, depending on the caching method you chose.

Outstanding!!

I’m simply amazed at how simple and super quick this plugin is. Even if I was sponsored to use another caching plugin I simply wouldn’t!
Best caching plugin of all
by James Hunt·4 years ago
I rarely write review but this plugin is really well deserved.
Certainly this is a reliable caching plugin can go against the major competitors out there. There are many reviews out there suggesting the load times are not as fast as other big players, but that is simply not true. I tested myself and can confirm this actually loads faster than those claimed to be faster in those popular reviews in the wild.
This plugin only do 1 thing unlike its competitor and it nailed it! I particular like the built-in compatibility with other plugins I’ve used, non-intrusive at all, also the way it caches with its HDD mode, that’s how a real cache mechanism should work.
I have been using many of the popular caching plugin in my production sites, until I gave Cachify a try, and I am a totally satisfied with it.
The only concerns for some people is the manual configuration on the htaccess file to make it work, but that’s never an issue for me for just copy and paste a paragraph of setting into 1 file.
Good work guys! Thank you for your great efforts developing this excellent plugin!
Please keep this simple and free.
