Other than caching SpeedyCache can also do the following:-
1. It can minify and combine CSS/JS giving even better optimization as it reduces the file sizes and reduces the HTTP requests to the server.
2. Eliminate render-blocking JavaScript resources helping your website to load faster.

There are many best cache plugins much more than the speedycache
Your CSS and JS optimization plugin helped me increase my PageSpeed score by 20+ points. The interface is intuitive, and the lazy load option works beautifully with my theme.

I was checking the logs and it seams like a tap was open and a lot of IPs targeting source files
wp-content/cache/speedycache/webite.com/assets/---all files---
My .htaccess prevents direct browsing but not there.. if I am to add a rule in htaccess to prevent direct access to javascript/css and other files the plugin stores the site will not function well even if I do the expectation IP of my website still all in the open… and I feel naked leaving all those files in easy access.
A bit of security layer would be good.
Yes, there’s the index.html file in the directory… prevents not displaying the index of files yet as I’ve said…. there’s a leak and IPs are targeting constantly .
Also, maybe obfuscate the name of the files… I don’t know.
Maybe it is nothing and it is not a security risk but better safe than sorry I say.
I’ve stress-tested nearly all caching plugins, and this was the only free plugin that performed on the same level as WP Rocket. In my opinion, it’s clearly the best caching plugin with a free version.
Works great – Added to my Blueprint Starter Website. Also one of the best looking Caching plugins in the market.
