<p>The main functionality of NGINX Cache Optimizer is to purge your NGINX cache whenever your content updates. For example, when you create a new post, someone comments your articles, etc. In addition to that, if you have a working Memcached service on your server, the plugin will allow you to easily configure and enable WordPress to use it.</p>
<h4>Requirements</h4>
<p>In order to work correctly, this plugin requires that your server meets the following criteria:</p>
<ul>
<li>NGINX configured to cache dynamic content</li>
<li>Writable permissions for the user executing PHP scripts on the NGINX cache folder</li>
</ul>
<h3>Configuration</h3>
<h4>Dynamic Cache Settings</h4>
<ul>
<li>nginx Cache Directory – </li>
<li>Dynamic Cache ON/OFF – </li>
<li>AutoFlush Cache ON/OFF – </li>
<li>Purge Cache – Manually purge all cached data from the NGINX cache</li>
</ul>
<h4>Exclude URLs From Dynamic Caching</h4>
<p>This field allows you to exclude URLs from the cache. This means that if you need certain parts of your site to be completely dynamic, you need to add them into this list. Type in the last part of the URL that you want to be excluded. For example, if you type in ‘url’, then ‘/path/to/url/’ will be excluded but ‘/path/to/’ and ‘/path/to/url/else/’ won’t.</p>
<h4>Memcached Settings</h4>
<ul>
<li>Memcached Instance IP Address – The IP address of the Memcached service. By default, it’s set to 127.0.0.1.</li>
<li>Memcached Instance Port – The port on which Memcached is running. By default, memcached uses port: 11211</li>
<li>Enable Memcached – this is the main Memcached support switch. Once you enter your Memcached server IP address and port, you need to actually enable it by setting this option to ON.</li>
</ul>

<p>Simple Cache was constructed after getting frustrated with the major caching plugins available and building sites with developer-only complex caching solutions that get millions of page views per day. Simple Cache promises the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>Extremely simple one-click install. There is an on-off switch. That’s it. No need to wade through 50 complicated settings.</li>
<li>Simple Cache makes your site run very fast so you can handle lots of traffic.</li>
<li>Extremely easy to delete. Don’t like the plugin? You can remove it, and your website won’t break.</li>
<li>Easily clear the cache if you need to.</li>
<li>Enable gzip compression</li>
<li>Want to get advanced with object caching (Memached or Redis)? An advanced mode is available that will automatically setup <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/batcache/" rel="ugc">Batcache</a> and <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/memcached/" rel="ugc">Memcached</a>/<a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-redis/" rel="ugc">Redis</a> for you.</li>
</ul>
<p>If you need your site to run fast, don’t have time to mess with complicated settings, and have been frustrated by other caching plugins, give Simple Cache a try.</p>

Simple Cache

I had this plugin on about 30 sites two years ago, but have since removed it, one by one, because of bad experiences of many kinds. The last was removed today, after site crashed due to fatal error in caused by the last update to this plugin.

When deactivating it also puts DEFINE('WP_ACHE', false); at the top of wp-config.php. This is bad and makes trouble using another cache plugin, unless this line is manually removed.

I can not recommend this plugin. Be aware of the thing mentioned above, when uninstalling to try out another.

Sorry - bad plugin

A very simple plugin to make your site run lightning fast with caching.
