    Today the plugin crashed my website completely when I wanted to clear cache. Afterwards I got the white screen of death and http error 500. Luckily my webhoster could restore a backup of the site to a state that WordPress a fatal error which was caused by the plugin. Luckily I could start WordPress in recovery mode and delete the plugin.

    This is the error message I received in the WordPress recovery email:

    WordPress version 6.3
    Active theme: Editor Blocks Child (version 1.0.1)
    Current plugin: WP Speed of Light (version 3.3.3)
    PHP version 7.4.33

    Thanks! I observed another issue: even though I deleted the plugin two pages of the website are still in server cache. Changes to the content are not displayed, e.g. if I add a new paragraph of text it will not be shown. Also, I have to do a rebranding and changed fonts (hosted locally). The fonts are updated on all other pages except for these two. Unfortunately, one of these two pages is the most important: the home page.

    link to a page with correct fonts (Syne and DM Sans)
    link to a page with wrong fonts (Playfair Display and Open Sans)

    I don’t dare to install the plugin again, even though it runs just fine on other websites I have.

    It is even worse, I just found out. Any changes on the website are visible on the frontend randomly. I do empty browser cache regularly when quitting the browser (which I do several times per day), thus it cannot be browser cache. Besides, I tested various browsers on various devices.

    I will for now not proceed with the changes and hope that the issue will be solved soon.

    Hello, I solved the issue with the remainders of the cache by deleting the cache content with FTP access. The website works now as it should.

    Its getting more and more mysterious. The plugin is deinstalled, not visible in the wordpress backend and by FTP access. But it does create a new server cache every time I open the website. And it does stubbornly prevent any content and layout changes to be visible.

    This behaviour drives me crazy! I cannot delete server cache by FTP manually every time we change something on the website.

    Hi, I’m a developer of this plugin.

    If you want to eliminate the cache function from this website, please follow these steps:

    1. Open the file named wp-config.php.
    2. If you find the line:define( 'WP_CACHE', true);
      Modify it to: define( 'WP_CACHE', false);
      Or you can simply remove the line.
    3. Next, locate the file named advanced-cache.php in the /wp-content/ directory.
    4. If this file exists, you can safely delete it since you’re not using the cache function.

    I hope this information proves helpful to you!

    Hello, thanks for your fast reply. With your instructions all problems are solved and cache is disabled.
    Best wishes, Wiebke
