<p><strong>Fast AF caching! Optimize your website performance for the best page speed</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Minifies HTML, JavaScript and CSS files</li>
<li>Defers loading of JavaScript</li>
<li>Compresses JPEG and PNG images</li>
<li>Generates static HTML pages</li>
</ul>
<p>Try it and see the results for yourself…</p>
<h4>Getting Started</h4>
<p>No complicated settings to deal with;</p>
<ol>
<li>Deactivate/delete any current caching or minification plugins</li>
<li>Install WP Roids</li>
<li>Activate WP Roids</li>
<li>Log out</li>
<li>Refresh your home page TWICE</li>
</ol>
<h4>“It broke my site, arrrrrrgh!”</h4>
<p><strong>Do the following steps, having your home page open in another browser. Or log out after each setting change if using the same browser. After each step refresh your home page TWICE</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Switch your site’s theme to “Twenty Twenty” (or one of the other “Twenty…” Themes). If it then works, you have a moody theme</li>
<li>If still broken, go to the WordPress Plugins page and disable all Plugins (except WP Roids, obviously). If WP Roids starts to work, we have a plugin conflit</li>
<li>Reactivate each plugin one by one and refresh your home page each time time until it breaks</li>
<li>If <em>still</em> broken after the above step, go to the Settings tab and try disabling JS optimisation for the Plugin which triggered an error in the previous step – this is done in the second section “Plugins JavaScript”</li>
<li>Finally, if no improvement has occurred, go to the Settings tab and experiment with toggling options in the first section “Core Settings”</li>
<li>If you have the time, it would help greatly if you can <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-roids" rel="ugc">log a support topic on the Support Page</a> and tell me as much as you can about what happened</li>
</ol>
<h4>How Fast Is It?</h4>
<p>In testing, WP Roids was FASTER than:</p>
<ul>
<li>WP Super Cache</li>
<li>W3 Total Cache</li>
<li>WP Fastest Cache</li>
<li>Comet Cache</li>
<li>Autoptimize</li>
<li>WP Speed of Light</li>
<li>…and many more!</li>
</ul>
<h4>Where Can I Check Site Speed?</h4>
<p>Either of these two sites is good:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://tools.pingdom.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Pingdom</a></li>
<li><a href="https://gtmetrix.com" rel="nofollow ugc">GTmetrix</a></li>
</ul>
<h4>Software Requirements</h4>
<p>In addition to the <a href="https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/" rel="ugc">WordPress Requirements</a>, WP Roids requires the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p><strong><code>.htaccess</code> file to be writable</strong></p>
<p>some security plugins disable this, so just turn this protection off for a minute during install/activation</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>PHP version greater than 5.6.0</strong></p>
<p>It WILL throw errors on activation if not! No damage should occur though</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>PHP cURL extension enabled</strong></p>
<p>Usually is by default on most decent hosts</p>
</li>
</ul>

WP Roids

The fastest caching plugin for WordPress. FASTER than WP Super Cache, W3 Total Cache, WP Fastest Cache and many more...

wao.io

<p>wao.io Cache Control is a free plugin to clear your WordPress site’s cache at <a href="https://wao.io/en/?utm_source=wordpressMarketplace&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=CachePlugin" rel="nofollow ugc">wao.io</a>.</p>
<h3>Cache Control</h3>
<p>Use this plugin to control your site’s cache at wao.io.</p>
<p>Click on the <strong>Invalidate Origin Content</strong> button to clear your optimized WordPress website’s cache at wao.io<br />
to make sure that you and your customers will see the latest version of your content.</p>
<p>Cache invalidation will automatically be triggered after publishing or updating a post or a page, and after switching a theme.</p>
<p>Cache invalidation treats all content in the cache as if it was outdated.<br />
This means that wao.io will check on the next request if the content changed on the origin server.<br />
If so, it will be requested. Otherwise wao.io will continue to use the cached resource.<br />
This is especially useful if you changed only a few images and the majority of content remained unmodified.</p>
<h3>Settings</h3>
<p>In the <strong>wao.io Cache Control Settings</strong> section of your general WordPress settings,<br />
please enter your Site ID, and the API key that you obtained from wao.io’s support team.</p>
<p>If you do not have an API key yet, please contact <a href="https://wao.io/en/account/support?utm_source=wordpressMarketplace&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=CachePlugin" rel="nofollow ugc">wao.io support</a>.</p>
<p>In future versions of this plugin, you can disable or enable automatic cache invalidation here.</p>
<h3>Automatic Cache Invalidation</h3>
<p>Automatic cache invalidation will make WordPress try to invalidate your<br />
optimized WordPress website’s cache at wao.io automatically each time your content has changed,<br />
e.g. after publishing a page or uploading an image.</p>
<h3>Known Issues</h3>
<p>Some WordPress sites reported a bug that the publish / update post event did not fire when using the block editor (Gutenberg issue #17632).<br />
This may affect the plugin wao.io Cache Control which depends on the event for automatic cache invalidation.</p>
<h3>Development and Contribution</h3>
<p>wao.io Cache Control plugin for WordPress was developed for wao.io by Ingo Steinke, Senior Software Developer at Avenga Germany GmbH.</p>
<p>If you want to contribute to this plugin, please contact wao.io product development via our <a href="https://wao.io/en/?utm_source=wordpressMarketplace&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=CachePlugin" rel="nofollow ugc">website wao.io</a>.</p>
