Rapid Cache

Rapid Cache is a fork of Comet Cache that focuses on new features, stability and simplicity.

If you care about the speed of your site, Rapid Cache is one of those plugins that you absolutely MUST have installed! 🤓

Rapid Cache takes a real-time snapshot (building a cache) of every Page, Post, Category, Link, etc. These snapshots are then stored (cached) intuitively, so they can be referenced later, in order to save all of that processing time that has been dragging your site down and costing you money.

The plugin uses configuration options that you select from the options panel. See: Rapid Cache -› Options in your Dashboard. Once a file has been cached, Rapid Cache uses advanced techniques that allow it to recognize when it should and should not serve a cached version of the file.

By default, Rapid Cache does not serve cached pages to users who are logged in, or to users who have left comments recently. Rapid Cache also excludes administrative pages, login pages, POST/PUT/DELETE/GET(w/ query string) requests and/or CLI processes.
