Hyper Cache Extended

Description

Hyper Cache Extended is a new cache system for WordPress, specifically written for
people which have their blogs on low resources hosting provider
(cpu and mysql). It works even with hosting based on Microsoft IIS (just tuning
the configuration). It has three invalidation method: all the cache, single post
based and nothing but with control on home and archive pages invalidation.
Hyper Cache Extended is based on original wordpress plugin “Hyper Cache” wich is
writen by Satollo (https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/hyper-cache)

It has not yet tested for multisite configuration (WordPress 3.0 feature).

Some features:

• compatible with the plugin wp-pda which enables a blog to be accessible from mobile devices
• manages (both) plain and gzip compressed pages
• autoclean system to reduce the disk usage
• 404 caching
• redirects caching
• easy to configure
• Global Translator compatibility
• Last Modified http header compatibility with 304 responses
• compressed storage to reduce the disk space usage
• agents, urls and cookies based rejection configurable
• easy to integrated with other plugins
• option to move cache to other partition/disk
• only serve cached pages when web server average load is above a certain number

How can I submit a bug?

Contact me at [email protected] – it’s the quickest way to have it fixed. You can post to the WordPress forum too but I read it rarely.

What is Max Server Load Average?

If the Server load is above Max server load average then the plugin will serve only cached version and will not try to create new cache file until the server load is bellow Max server load average value.
You can read more about this in bulgarian

Is it possible to exclude caching on certain pages with Hyper Cache Extended

Yes! You can use URI to reject text box to enter URL’s that will not be cached!
Use with caution – not allowing HCE to cache can lead to slow WordPres experience

Do do the HCE has option to automatically delete the expired cache?

You can click on “Enable” for “Cleaning process” – “Cleaning process – Enable/Disable auto purging of old files. Enable cleaning process to remove expired cache. This will free some space, but it’s better to keep this Disabled”.

Reviews

Works fine

Relja October 21, 2018

For what it’s worth: on my, relatively poor performance hosting, this plugin seems to give the best results of all the tested caching plugins. Simple to setup, works with no problems. Good job by the authors

Good caching plugin.

I wanted a simple caching plugin that would work with gzip compression. This is the best I tried. It made a notable difference on my shared server and was the only one to enable gzip compression which was my primary aim. Thank you @mlazarov for developing and maintaining this excellent caching plugin.

Best plugin for really busy sites

A Ex December 29, 2016

I’ve tried every recommended plugin and configuration, bought pro licenses for wp rocket, fastest cache and could not handle the traffic. The server hanged few times per day. With this plugin the memory usage went drastically down and my sites are ok, even in large traffic (2000 people simultaneously in site). Thank you for your great job!!!
