Caching plugins for WordPress speed improvement

So far, I felt that WP-Rocket was the fastest.

However, this one loads immediately without any flickering or waiting feeling.

It’s amazing.

However, when logged in, there seems to be room for improvement regarding the content displayed. As of the date 2024/5/27, the caching feature for content displayed to logged-in users is in beta status, as shown in the image below.

When tested, it works, but the page visited by ‘Logged-in Member 1’ caches at the moment of visiting, so the first visit takes time, and when visiting the same page again, it shows the cached page, making it faster. The problem arises when another ‘Logged-in Member 2’ visits the same page. Instead of utilizing the cached page from ‘Logged-in Member 1’, it creates a new page for ‘Logged-in Member 2’ and caches that.

It is natural to handle ‘Member Information’ pages that display unique information for each member this way, but it would be safer not to cache such pages and to access the database each time to display the final data. Caching becomes important only when showing a common page to logged-in users, and caching separately for each logged-in user wastes storage space for cached data and causes first-time visitors to always experience a delay, significantly reducing user satisfaction.

I hope improvements come soon.

Aside from this, it feels much faster than caching plugins I have experienced so far, such as W3 Total Cache, Lite Speed Cache, and WP-Rocket…

WP-Rocket requires a paid subscription for installation, but allowing full functionality in the free version is very good. However, it is said to stop working if monthly visitors exceed 5,000…. Still, I think this is a better policy.

I will gradually add detailed feature descriptions….

That’s all for today..
