I am not satisfy because major options are in pro version

There are many best cache plugins much more than the speedycache

Very nice solution

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.

Accessible directories – Can become a security risk?
by Dascent·12 months ago·1 reply

Is it possible to protect somehow the direct access of the directories from which the cache is served?

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.

One of the best
by vitoskin·1 year ago

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.
