Ok, here are a few more questions. This is all very new and interesting to me, but it is also way over my head. It is slowly all beginning to make sense. Sorry for all the questions…

1.) Is JetPack Boost a product of yours? What is the benefit of installing it? I mean, I assume it will make my site faster, so why is it not installed by default?

2.) If I enable CDN support, won’t that cost me money? This I need to know for the future once I have a lot of products listed on my site.

3.) Under “contents” it says, “WP-Super-Cache” –> “2 cached pages”. I have about 12 pages on my site. I thought when I enable caching, the plugin will turn all my dynamic WordPress pages into simple static html pages. What am I missing?

4.) Preload: “This will cache every published post and page on your site. It will create supercache static files so unknown visitors (including bots) will hit a cached page. This will probably help your Google ranking as they are using speed as a metric when judging websites now”… Ok, so this is totally confusing. I guess I just don’t understand, what is the difference between caching and preloading? I thought preloading was when a user hovers their cursor over a link, and the web browser loads up that page into memory so if the user clicks on the link, the page loads up instantly. Your definition of preload is it will make a “supercache static file.” I am lost. Hope you can simplify this for me.

5.) Do you think my site of only 12 pages should have preload enabled? If so, I assume I just check off the two boxes and click the “preload cache now” button?

I think that should do it for now. I have spent a lot of time playing with this plugin and thinking about it. Thanks for all your support and keep up the good work!

Thanks for the replies.

Please keep this thread open. I will get back to you guys in a few days. I have other projects I am working on.

Ok, I think I got it. I have been playing with your plugin for a few hours on and off…

1.) So, it is perfectly 100% safe to work on my website with caching turned on, but it is preferred to keep it off during development. Is that correct?

2.) And then, if I forget to turn off caching while working or updating my site and plugins, I just delete the cache, and that fixes everything. Does that sound right?

3.) And also, I assume if WordPress or a plugin does an auto-update, everything will be fine, but if not, just delete the cache. Is that correct?

4.) Also, if there is any type of plugin auto-update or WordPress does an auto-update, will WP Super Cache automatically clear the cache after the update?

5.) Last, does WP Super Cache auto delete the cache? If so, how often?

I have some other questions so please keep this thread open. Thanks so much guys! My homepage went from a “C” to an “A” on gtmetrix.com! I am learning a lot!

Thanks Donncha. I wish I was as smart as you guys.

I think I feel safe using your plugin now. I will reply back here if I have another question in the future.

Thanks for the help.

Hey Tamirat.

Thanks for your reply.

I don’t mean to challenge you, but my WordPress theme, PORTO, specifically states the following:

“Note: You should disable below plugins while development. They may affect your changes not applied.”

This is my reason for asking. It might sound like a stupid question, but I have spent the past year working on my website, and do not want to mess it up. Currently, I have WordPress and all my plugins set so that they auto update. If your WP Super Cache is enabled, and WordPress does an auto update, I do not want there to be any problems. I am about to start my first paid ad campaign with Google, and I do not want to be sending traffic to my site if an auto update breaks my site and my site visitors can’t place any orders.

That being said, why do you think my WP theme is telling me to deactivate your plugin before doing any development / work / updates to my site? You are a software developer and obviously a lot smarter than me. I am interested in what your response is.

I have already tested your plugin, and according to gtmetrix.com, it greatly improves loading time. Just to be safe, I will turn off WP auto updates, and I will also disable your WP Super Cache plugin when working on my site. I am still very interested in your response as to why PORTO is telling me to deactivate your plugin while in development.

I look forward to your response. Keep up the good work!

As stated in my first post, I already tried that code. That is why I am going crazy. It should not be this complicated.

Let me know if you have any other suggestions.

It is enabled. See above posts. I also included the source code in one post. I have no idea why it is not showing up on your end. I also explain what browsers and devices I have tested. Maybe try using a VPN.

“Your initial query was about the “- OR -” in the Express checkout box.
Then I also noticed you have two Express checkout boxes.
There should be only one Express checkout box.”

It is actually two images in one file. Sorry for the confusion. The top image shows the “-or-“, and the bottom image is what you see when you disable the “woopay” express button. Technically, there should be two “-or-” separators within the top image.

I can’t find the upload button. I don’t know if I have to sign up or not…

Here is the Status Report uploaded to Drive:

Get back to me when you can please. No rush.

Thanks again for all your help.

Here is what the checkout page looks like with CheckoutWC disabled:

View post on imgur.com

Another thing I just thought of…

View post on imgur.com

I use the CheckoutWC. I first tested the “WooCommerce PayPal Payments” plugin, but the PayPal express button was not showing up. I then installed the “Payment Plugins for PayPal WooCommerce” plugin and the PayPal express button now works. Perhaps it is CheckoutWC that is giving me problems.

I’m lost.

Oh yeah, one other thing… I use Windows 11 with Firefox, and I also tested in Chrome. On my Android phone, I tested in Chrome and it works fine.

“Have you checked with a default theme such as Storefront to see if this separator is coming from the theme?”

No, not yet. I will contact Porto’s (theme) website if you guys can’t help me. I can try switching to a default theme, but I do not know if that will mess up my main theme’s settings.

“Additionally, could inspect that “OR” using your browser and check the HTML?
I want to see if that is loaded via the <iframe> tag.”

As you can see from my last post, there is no “iframe” tag in the code.

Next, I noticed the photo you posted shows a different “Google Pay” logo than what I see on my end. Weird.

“Let me know if you can see the info in the red box please. https://imgur.com/a/FYCUZ6u“

“Yes, I can see it ??”

Ok, good. You would think that if the WooPay button is missing in the “Express Checkout” section then the order form in the red box would be missing too. I am glad that the order form is still showing. I can live without the WooPay Express button, but obviously not the order form!

Ok, so take a look at this photo:

View post on imgur.com

As you can see, I have WooPay option selected under “express checkout,” but not Google Pay. I have Google Pay selected in another WooCommerce Payments section, and the Google Pay Express button is obviously working. That being said, perhaps there is a different WooPay Express option I can select somewhere else in the WooCommerce Payments section. Do you know of any other options I can select? Can you check your website to see if you have the WooPay Express option selected somewhere else?

As for this picture:

View post on imgur.com

So, from the first photo, I click on the “customize” button in the second red circle, and that takes me to this second photo. On this page, I have WooPayments selected for the “checkout” page only. Let me know if you have these same options selected.

I don’t know what else to think. I don’t know why the Google Pay button is different on your end and I don’t know why the WooPay express button does not show up on your end. Perhaps it is my Porto theme. Perhaps I need to select an option / checkbox somewhere else to force the WooPay express button.

I really appreciate all your help! Thanks carolm29 and Zubair for your time!
