Static Site Generator

<p><strong>Simple Page Cache</strong> is an extremely simple, super-fast page cache for WordPress. The plugin stores full HTML pages on disk for non-logged-in visitors. The cache is automatically cleared when content is updated, ensuring visitors always see fresh content. Ideal for small to medium-sized sites and webshops that want maximum speed without complex settings.</p>
<p><strong>Main features:</strong><br />
– Caching for non-logged-in users (GET requests only)<br />
– <strong>Path-based cache structure</strong> for nginx direct serving (<code>/host/path/index.html</code>)<br />
– Cache files are stored in <code>/wp-content/uploads/simple-page-cache/</code><br />
– Drop-in (<code>advanced-cache.php</code>) for maximum speed before WordPress loads<br />
– <strong>Nginx configuration generation</strong> for direct cache serving<br />
– <strong>Automatic cache clearing</strong> when posts/pages are updated<br />
– <strong>E-commerce integration</strong> with intelligent cache clearing for:<br />
  – WooCommerce (orders, stock updates, product changes)<br />
  – Easy Digital Downloads (purchases, download updates)<br />
  – BigCommerce for WordPress (product updates)<br />
  – Generic e-commerce plugins (product post types)<br />
– Automatic detection of dynamic pages (cart, checkout, account, wishlist) for:<br />
  – WooCommerce<br />
  – BigCommerce for WordPress<br />
  – Easy Digital Downloads<br />
  – iThemes Exchange<br />
  – Jigoshop<br />
  – WP-Shop<br />
– Detected dynamic pages are automatically excluded from caching<br />
– Manual cache clearing via admin bar button<br />
– <strong>Nginx config regeneration</strong> via admin bar button<br />
– Performance comments in cached HTML files<br />
– No complex settings, no database writes</p>
<h3>Nginx Configuration</h3>
<p>For maximum performance, you can configure nginx to serve cached files directly without PHP processing:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Copy the nginx configuration</strong> from <code>/wp-content/uploads/simple-page-cache/nginx.conf</code></li>
<li><strong>Add the configuration</strong> to your nginx server block for your domain</li>
<li><strong>Test nginx configuration</strong>: <code>sudo nginx -t</code></li>
<li><strong>Reload nginx</strong>: <code>sudo systemctl reload nginx</code></li>
</ol>
<p>The nginx configuration includes:<br />
– Internal location block for serving cached files<br />
– Automatic cache bypass for logged-in users<br />
– Automatic cache bypass for requests with query strings<br />
– Debug headers to identify cache hits</p>
<p><strong>Benefits of nginx direct serving:</strong><br />
– Faster response times (no PHP processing)<br />
– Lower server load<br />
– Better scalability<br />
– Direct file serving from disk</p>
<h3>How it works</h3>
<ul>
<li>For every non-logged-in visitor and every GET request, a static HTML file is created and served.</li>
<li><strong>Path-based cache structure</strong>: Cache files are organized as <code>/host/path/index.html</code> for direct nginx serving.</li>
<li>Pages with characteristics of dynamic e-commerce pages (such as cart, checkout, account, wishlist) are automatically detected and excluded from caching. The plugin recognizes WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Easy Digital Downloads, iThemes Exchange, Jigoshop, and WP-Shop.</li>
<li>The list of excluded pages is automatically maintained in a file in the cache directory.</li>
<li><strong>Automatic cache clearing</strong>: When posts or pages are updated, the plugin efficiently clears cache using the new path-based structure and scans for related content.</li>
<li><strong>E-commerce integration</strong>: For WooCommerce, when orders are placed or product stock is updated, the plugin automatically clears cache for the affected products and related pages (categories, tags, shop pages, homepage).</li>
<li><strong>Performance comments</strong>: Each cached HTML file includes a comment with timestamp and host information for debugging and transparency.</li>
<li><strong>Nginx integration</strong>: Generated nginx configuration allows direct serving of cached files without PHP processing for maximum performance.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Clearing the cache</h3>
<ul>
<li>Click the “Clear Page Cache” button in the admin bar (visible to administrators only) to remove all cache files.</li>
<li>Click the “Regenerate nginx.conf” button in the admin bar to regenerate the nginx configuration file.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Deactivation</h3>
<ul>
<li>When deactivating the plugin:
<ul>
<li>The drop-in <code>advanced-cache.php</code> is removed.</li>
<li>The <code>define('WP_CACHE', true);</code> line (if placed by this plugin) is removed from <code>wp-config.php</code>.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
