Description
Lite Page Cache is a straightforward, zero-configuration plugin that dramatically speeds up your WordPress site. It works by capturing the output of your pages and single blog posts, saving them as static HTML files.
When a visitor requests a page, the plugin serves the static HTML file instead of processing heavy PHP scripts and database queries.
Key Features:
- Caches static pages and single posts.
- Bypasses cache for logged-in users to prevent admin bar caching.
- Automatically skips URLs with query parameters (e.g., ?utm_source=...).
- Automatically flushes the entire cache whenever you publish or update a post.
- Includes a manual "Clear Cache" button under Settings > Lite Page Cache.
Installation
- Upload the
lite-page-cachefolder to the/wp-content/plugins/directory. - Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.
- The plugin works automatically. You can clear the cache manually via
Settings -> Lite Page Cache.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it cache the WooCommerce cart or checkout?
- No. By default, it only caches singular posts and pages without query parameters. E-commerce endpoints usually require sessions and should not be cached.
Where are the cache files stored?
- The HTML files are saved securely in your
/wp-content/cache/lite-page-cache/directory.
