Overview

This plugin generates static html files from your dynamic WordPress blog. After a html file is generated your webserver will serve that file instead of processing the comparatively heavier and more expensive WordPress PHP scripts.

The static html files will be served to the vast majority of your users:

Users who are not logged in.
Users who have not left a comment on your blog.
Or users who have not viewed a password protected post.

99% of your visitors will be served static html files. One cached file can be served thousands of times. Other visitors will be served custom cached files tailored to their visit. If they are logged in, or have left comments those details will be displayed and cached for them.

The plugin serves cached files in 3 ways (ranked by speed):

Nice Speed Boost

Tried this to improve my site speed and it actually helped. Pages load faster now and setup wasn’t too hard. Settings need a bit understanding at first, but once done it works nicely. pretty useful plugin.

Does not work with Astra Pro’s Color Switcher

by bawman·1 month ago·1 reply

Everything seems to work well until I started using Astra Pro’s “Color Switcher” to implement “dark mode.” With “WP Super Cache” activated, my Color Switcher site appears unable to correctly “remember” whether the user has switched to the “normal” or “dark” mode. (E.g., load a webpage, toggle Color Switcher, navigate away to a different page on the same site, toggle Color Switcher again, then come back to the initial webpage … the page will load with the unexpected color palette; clearing browser cache and reloading/refreshing webpages in the browser do not help.) The issue goes away and “Color Switcher” works as expected as soon as I deactivated “WP Super Cache.”
