Breeze Cache

2 updates since 2.0.10 have introduced bugs into my website, where previously it was working correctly with Breeze.

This has caused lots of lost time and some lost revenue.

I can't take the risk to run into more issues.

Quality control needs to improve. Something is going very wrong there.

Will update this review if anything changes, but this is the truth for now.

Keep running into problems


Hey, for quick and effective page caching, go for this plugin – it's great with or without Varnish or Cloudflare CDN. No need to mess around with CSS and JS; there's another plugin for that, doing the fancy stuff. Stick to this one for caching, and let the other one handle the techy bits. Easy peasy!


I suggest using it for Page Caching only, not CSS & JS optimization


Not bad, but you have to add the next features, without it, it's just another cache plugin.




Remove unused css!!!



Better support to CDN with exclude / include custom directory and files



And maybe, checking the plugin performance when the minify option is enabled.




Thanks


Not bad... But you have a work to do.
