Hyper Cache is a cache plugin specifically written to get the maximum speed for your WordPress blog.
It can be used in low resources hosting as well on high end servers.
Hyper Cache is purely PHP and works on every blog: no complex configurations are needed and when you deactivate it no stale settings are left around.
Short list of features:
С этим плагином нагрузка на сервер в разы меньше, а сама скорость загрузки страниц значительно выросла. Они загружаются просто моментально!
Really well coded plugin, improved pagespeed for google from 86 to 93 compared to lightspeed cache. Simple and reliable.
Hyper Cache just works for us, and does exactly what we want.
Code is very lightweight, simple to install and even easier to use.
Very decent plugin indeed, thank you to the developer
Hyper cache is an little known excellent cache plugin for wordpress.
This is the only free plugin I am aware of that is capable of creating two separate caches for your website. One for your mobile version and one for your desktop version.
It is great for those like me who have a wordpress theme that is not responsive.
My theme delivers a mobile menu for mobile phones and a desktop menu for desktops.
I needed a version of a page to display the mobile menu and another version to display the desktop menu.
I used WP super cache. It didn’t work because it had no separated cache.
I bought WP rocket. It stored two versions but Googlebot for smartphone returned issues when it scanned a page of my website.
It is simple. It can be set up in 30 seconds. There aren’t any useless settings.
It only works with PHP, it means several things.
it means that this plugin will never mess up your HTACCESS and create strange behavior due to rewrite directives since there is NO rewrite directives. Your HTACCESS remain CLEAN just like when your mother clean the toilets.
You activate it and it works.
Googlebot for smartphone love it and does not return any errors. I love to read no loading issues.
I install it in one website because i have bug with other plugin, i just thing it’s normal cache like other, but after i don’t understand why this website are more speed than my other, then i install it in other, replace other famous caching, and can see miracle, green color on page speed test!
Thanks a lot
