The SuperCacher Plugin for WordPress (SG CachePress) Just Got an Update

Those of you who are using our caching system, the SuperCacher, to boost the speed of their WordPress sites have probably already noticed that we’ve released an update for the plugin. Although we regularly maintain the extension and keep it up-to-date, this update adds some features with new and useful functionality. They can help you manage better your site.

Notification for New Users

Since the SiteGround CachePress plugin acts as a connector for our SuperCacher service, we decided to alert our customers in case the Dynamic Cache is not working for their site. Since the caching is activated by default in the plugin settings page, usually all you have to do is enable it from the other end as well, the SuperCacher page in your cPanel.  We’ve added a check that tests your index page upon plugin activation and notifies you if your index is not cached. Hopefully, this friendly reminder will help our users to get used to the system faster when they start new projects.

The Ability to Test Your URLs

In addition to the check upon activation, we’ve added another option to the settings page of the plugin in the “Dynamic Cache Status” section. There you can check whether a page from your site is being correctly cached or not. In some cases, you want to be really sure that certain URLs are left out of the cache – profile pages, checkout pages, etc. We already have available the “Exclude URLs From Dynamic Caching” functionality allowing you to do this in a quick and easy manner. But now you can actually do a test in one click and make sure that a checkout page is really 100% dynamic.
