Breeze – WordPress Cache Plugin


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.

“<a href="http://onetarek.com/my-wordpress-plugins/wp-nav-menu-cache/" rel="nofollow ugc">WP Nav Menu Cache</a>” plugin help you to make your WordPress dynamic navigation menu to a static menu. For each page visit WordPress run some MySQL query and complex PHP codes to generate navigation menu that you are using on front-end. Your menu content is not being changed until you change that manually. So why do you need to use your server resource on every page visit to generate a menu? This plugin saves your dynamic menus into some separate static HTML files. When you add, edit or remove any menu item using dashboard then this plugin update its cached files. When a menu is called from website front-end then this plugin stops WordPress to generate that newly and serve from the previouly saved static file. This process reduces some MySQL query , saves your server resource and increases page speed.
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Exclude any theme location from caching you don’t want to cache any menu of</li>
<li>Exclude any menu you don’t want to cache</li>
<li>Choose wheather this plugin will cache each menu individually for each post/page or any visited url.</li>
</ul>
