<h4>Content Personalization</h4>

<h4>Shortcodes</h4>
<pre><code>[varycache_ab v="A"]Content for variant A[/varycache_ab]
[varycache_ab v="B"]Content for variant B[/varycache_ab]
[varycache_ab test="pricing" v="X"]Content for specific test[/varycache_ab]
[varycache_geo country="US"]Content for US visitors[/varycache_geo]
</code></pre>
<h4>PHP Functions</h4>
<pre><code>// A/B Testing
if ( varycache_is_variant( 'A' ) ) {
    // Show variant A content
}
$variant = varycache_get_variant(); // Returns 'A', 'B', etc.

// Geo Targeting
if ( varycache_is_geo( 'US' ) ) {
    // Show US-specific content
}
$country = varycache_get_geo(); // Returns 'US', 'RU', etc.
</code></pre>
<h4>Page Patterns</h4>
<p>Flexible page matching with wildcards and regex:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>/</code> – Homepage only</li>
<li><code>/pricing</code> – Exact page match</li>
<li><code>/blog/*</code> – Single level wildcard</li>
<li><code>/shop/**</code> – Any depth wildcard</li>
<li><code>~^/post/\d+$</code> – Regular expression (prefix with ~)</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>WordPress 5.0 or higher</li>
<li>PHP 7.4 or higher</li>
