<h4>BENEFITS</h4>
<p>WP Meteor can improve your <a href="https://pagespeed.web.dev/" rel="nofollow ugc">Pagespeed</a> results and the actual loading time of your website by <strong>up to 5x</strong>! You do not have to take our word for it, it only takes 2 minutes to install the plugin and <a href="https://test.fastpixel.io/" rel="nofollow ugc">test how it improves</a> your website speed.<br />
And since the plugin is designed to leave no traces on your hard drive or database when deactivated and removed, <strong>there is no risk for you</strong>.</p>
<h4>HOW IT WORKS</h4>
<p>If the user does not interact with the page immediately, WP Meteor defers loading and firing scripts until the page is rendered, which increases the pagespeed metric, on average, by <strong>2-5x</strong>.</p>
<p>This delay in loading scripts greatly improves perceived load times for your visitors. It also significantly improves the following <strong>important SEO metrics</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://pagespeed.web.dev/" rel="nofollow ugc">Page Speed</a></li>
<li><a href="https://web.dev/lcp/" rel="nofollow ugc">Largest Contentful Paint (LCP)</a></li>
<li><a href="https://web.dev/tti/" rel="nofollow ugc">Time To Interactive (TTI)</a></li>
<li><a href="https://web.dev/tbt/" rel="nofollow ugc">Total Blocking Time (TBT)</a></li>
</ul>

WP Meteor Website Speed Optimization Addon

Let me cut to the chase. WP Meteror is an awesome plugin that actually worked for me and rocketed my score up according to Google Page Speed metrics.
Furthermore, It is fully compatible with Autoptimize and WP Super Cache, two great plugins which I persistently consider among “must-haves.” 
Being always frustrated with GPS scores, I was always looking for a way to minimize the damn “main thread work,” get rid of “render-blocking resources” and improve LCP, TTI and TBT (Ironically, Google still regards its own reCAPTCHA, Tag Manager, etc. as render-blocking or unused JavaScript!)
The optimization of JS files and applying Defer attribute to scripts, among many others, just led to a slight improvement in my score, no way comparable with that of WP Meteor.
Last but not least, using WP Meteor had some downsides on my website as Alex had clearly explained. But there is an inbuilt exclusion session which helped me exclude troublesome scripts easily.
In a nutshell, this plugin kills it on Page Speed and deserves 10 out of 5 stars!

Cacholong

<p>“Cache control by Cacholong” plugin automates purging of Nginx Pagespeed cache and Nginx FastCGI cache on your Nginx server(s). It is a backend plugin that is able to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Purge Nginx Pagespeed cache and/or Nginx FastCGI cache.</li>
<li>Purge cache automatically, manually, with WordPress cronjobs and WP-CLI.</li>
<li>Purge caches on one or more servers (See hosts.json section for more details).</li>
<li>Use commandline (WP-CLI) to purge caches or reset to factory settings.</li>
<li>Remove id tag from stylesheet link tags, in order to allow Nginx Pagespeed to combine stylesheets.</li>
<li>Allow purging of other cached items (see Settings > Cache control).</li>
<li>Inform user of purge status.</li>
<li>Support for single site and network sites</li>
<li>Support for WP-CLI</li>
<li>Support for WPML (including language negotiation type domain)</li>
</ul>
<h4>When will it purge?</h4>
<p>This plugin will work with default and custom post types. It will purge on a save, regular update, quick edit update, slug change, delete and undelete. The user is informed with one or more messages.<br />
There are a few caveats:</p>
<ul>
<li>When a user is using the Gutenberg editor, purge messages will not be displayed.</li>
<li>When the user uses “Quick edit” and “Updates” the post, no messages will be displayed, because there’s no page refresh. Those messages will be shown on the next request. </li>
</ul>
<p>It is possible to purge with WordPress cronjobs. Adjust the ‘Cronjob settings’ to perform a daily purge of caches.</p>
<p>You can also purge items manually. Go to the WordPress dashboard and navigate to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Settings > Cache control > purge single item</li>
<li>Settings > Cache control > purge all caches</li>
<li>Admin Toolbar > purge all caches</li>
</ul>
<h4>Settings</h4>
<ul>
<li>File with hosts (JSON):                 File with information about one or more hosts for this WordPress installation. See hosts.json section for more details. </li>
<li>Pagespeed optimized CSS:                Remove ID tag from all WordPress stylesheet link tags to improve Nginx Pagespeed caching. Will only work on frontend.</li>
<li>Purge settings default post types:      Select one or more options when purging a default post type. Possible to purge post url (default), home page, all connected WordPress categories or all caches.</li>
<li>Purge settings default custom type(s):  Select one or more options when purging a custom post type. Possible to purge post url (default), home page, all connected WordPress categories or all caches.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Cronjob Settings</h4>
<ul>
<li>Cronjob purging:                        Enable or disable cronjob purging. </li>
<li>Cronjob time of each day:               Enter HH:MM in 24 hour notation for cronjob time of day. Will fallback to 00:00 when wrong format is given.</li>
<li>Purge caches                            Select caches to purge on given cronjob time. </li>
</ul>
<h4>hosts.json</h4>
<p>Hosts.json is a JSON file with information about one or more servers for this WordPress installation. Remember that this file must contain information about all servers, including the<br />
one with this plugin. Default path is: wp-content/uploads/cacholong-cache-control/hosts.json.</p>
<p>Here is an example of a hosts.json file:</p>
<pre><code>{"servers":
    [
        {"name": "server1", "ip": "127.0.0.1", "pagespeed": true, "fastcgi": false},
        {"name": "server2", "ip": "127.0.0.2", "pagespeed": false, "fastcgi": true},
    ]
}
</code></pre>
<p>Each line contains information about one server. Parameters:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>name (string)<br />
Name of host, something to identify this server.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>ip (string)<br />
IP address of server or full url. Format: scheme://host:port/path</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>pagespeed (bool)<br />
Server uses Nginx Pagespeed (true) or not (false)</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>fastcgi (bool)<br />
Server user Nginx FastCGI (true) or not (false)</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>When there is no hosts.json or the path is invalid, this plugin assumes the following:</p>
<pre><code>{"servers":
    [
        {"name": "localhost", "ip": "127.0.0.1", "pagespeed": true, "fastcgi": true}
    ]
}
</code></pre>
<h4>How does it work</h4>
<p>“Cache control by Cacholong” empties partial or full cache for Nginx Pagespeed and FastCGI cache. WordPress HTTP API is used to make (post) request to<br />
specific urls to trigger purges. Based on the http header responses this plugin determines if a purge is successful or not. The user is informed with messages, which are loaded after a purge and page refresh.</p>
<p>There are several settings to tweak purging, see Settings > Cache control.</p>
<h4>WP-CLI</h4>
<p>There are several commands available for the commandline with wp-cli. Commands generate text output which can be suppressed with –quiet. When an error occurs, text will always be displayed.</p>
<h4>WP-CLI exit codes</h4>
<p>Exit codes are 0 (no errors) or 1 (generic error).</p>
<h4>WP-CLI examples</h4>
<p>Purge command with all arguments:</p>
<pre><code>wp cacholong_cc purge [--cache=<cache>] [--ips=<ips>]
</code></pre>
<p>Purge Nginx FastCGI:</p>
<pre><code>wp cacholong_cc purge --cache=fastcgi
</code></pre>
<p>Purge Nginx Pagespeed:</p>
<pre><code>wp cacholong_cc purge --cache=pagespeed
</code></pre>
<p>Purge all caches:</p>
<pre><code>wp cacholong_cc purge --cache=all
wp cacholong_cc purge
</code></pre>
<p>Purge Nginx Pagespeed cache for ip address 127.0.0.1 and 127.0.0.2:</p>
<pre><code>wp cacholong_cc purge --cache=pagespeed --ips=127.0.0.1,127.0.0.2
</code></pre>
<p>Purge all caches for ip address 127.0.0.1 and 127.0.0.2:</p>
<pre><code>wp cacholong_cc purge --ips=127.0.0.1,127.0.0.2
</code></pre>
<p>Factory reset options for given site_id or current blog if no site_id is given:</p>
<pre><code>wp cacholong_cc factory_reset [--site_id=site_id]
</code></pre>
<h4>Debug</h4>
<p>Plugin will log basic purge information when WP_DEBUG is true (can be set in wp-config.php). Logs information in file wp-content/cacholong-cache-control.log.<br />
Plugin will log wp_remote_request details when CACHOLONG_CACHE_DEBUG_HTTP_API_REQUEST is true (can be set in wp-config.php). Logs information in file wp-content/cacholong-cache-control.log.</p>
