WCKD Fast Pages Wordpress Plugin - Rating, Reviews, Demo & Download
Plugin Description
WCKD Fast Pages is a deliberately small full-page cache for sites without a
logged-in front end (brochure sites, organizations, portfolios). The first
visit to a page saves its finished HTML; every visit after that is served
straight from disk before WordPress or the database load, typically
20 to 30 times faster server response.
Built to be boring:
- Content edits purge the cache automatically, so visitors never see stale pages.
- Visitors arriving through ads and email links (utm tags, click ids) get the instant copy too. Tracking is untouched: it runs in the browser.
- Each page is compressed once when saved, so browsers get a ready-made gzip copy and the server never compresses the same page twice.
- Logged-in users, previews, real query strings, search, feeds, and POST requests always bypass.
- Deactivating, deleting, or even half-removing the plugin can never break the site: every failure path falls through to a normal WordPress render.
The dashboard (Settings Fast Pages):
- A measured, plain-language speed banner (“Pages on this site load 32× faster…”) with one-click re-measuring.
- Every page on the site listed with its cache status, timestamp, and size, plus per-page purge.
- A “Cache All” button that rebuilds every page’s saved copy in one click, so no visitor ever waits for a page to build.
- Pause for one hour (auto-resumes) and a list of pages that always render live.
Technical notes (for hosts and developers): on activation the plugin
installs a wp-content/advanced-cache.php drop-in and defines WP_CACHE
in wp-config.php, the standard mechanism that lets cached pages skip
WordPress entirely. It never overwrites another plugin’s drop-in, and
deactivation/uninstall remove both cleanly. Respects DONOTCACHEPAGE,
offers a wckd_fp_cacheable filter, and honours the
WCKD_FAST_PAGES_DISABLED and WCKD_FAST_PAGES_TTL constants. WP-CLI:
wp fast-pages status | purge | warm.
