\n It\u2019s one of the best cache plugins for WordPress, maybe the most \u2013 the decision is on your side<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n

\n Setup
\n<\/h2>\n

\n The product<\/strong> is designed as an automatic WordPress optimization engine and it starts working just after installation<\/strong><\/a>. But sometimes it still needed to be fine-tuned<\/a> or troubleshot<\/a> on particular sites.\n<\/p>\n

\n If optimization doesn\u2019t work
\n<\/h3>\n

\n Please, run self-diagnosis in Setup Wizard \u2013 it should show any issues that prevent from work. In most cases external caching or some blocks on server can cause this.\n<\/p>\n

\n If content is in inappropriate state in first loading time<\/a>
\n<\/h3>\n

\n In many cases it can be corrected by CSS<\/a>. If it doesn\u2019t help or not applicable the scripts delay<\/a> can be decreased to 0.1 second but it can significantly reduce score.\n<\/p>\n

\n Work mode
\n<\/h2>\n

\n It works in automatic mode<\/strong>. When posts are changed then the related cache will be updated automatically<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n

\n When to update the cache
\n<\/h3>\n

\n Only when some common thing is changed (theme, styles, menus, \u2026) then cache should be updated manually<\/a>. Or it will be updated after cache\u2019s time to live for auto-revalidation<\/a> is expired.\n<\/p>\n

\n Optimization requires time
\n<\/h3>\n

\n If content is non-optimized or not actual, we need wait for optimization ending. It always can be checked in the optimization queue<\/a>. Particular optimization time depends on page complexity and server speed. Total optimization time depends on how many pages on your site – it is taken by default from sitemap<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n

\n If there is a need to see all changes immediately the \u2018Always up to date content\u2019 mode should be chosen in Setup Wizard. Otherwise, the \u2018Always a high score\u2019 is recommended.\n<\/p>\n

Warning.<\/strong> When \u2018Always up to date content\u2019 mode is used pages sometimes can be in not full optimized state due to revalidation. So, score from PageSpeed (including Google Search Console), GTMetrix and other speed measurement tools can be low at corresponding time intervals.\n<\/p>\n

<\/a>Optimization requires CPU
\n<\/h3>\n

\n Good optimization requires CPU resources due to all processing happens on current server (no any external slow and expensive clouds). So, if hosting warns about reaching limits of CPU usage then the plan should be upgraded or VPS<\/a> used instead of shared hosting.\n<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

\n Operation state
\n<\/h2>\n

\n The working status always can be checked here<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n
