WP Fastest Cache Premium
WP Fastest Cache Premium includes caching and optimization controls for WordPress pages and the resources used to deliver them. Page caching stores static HTML versions of dynamic pages, which can reduce initial server response time and page load time. Automatic preload makes cache files for the website without waiting for users to open each page.

Cache generation and rules
Set a general cache timeout or configure timeouts for specific pages. Mobile Cache creates cache files for mobile devices, while Widget Cache caches widget output. Settings let you enable or disable caching for mobile devices and logged-in users.
- Exclude pages and user agents, or use a shortcode to block caching for a particular page or post.
- Clear cached files and minified CSS or JavaScript files from the extension options. WP-CLI cache clearing is also supported.
- Preload creates cache files automatically, and cache timeout settings determine when cached files are deleted.
SSL and CDN integration are supported. CDN options include Bunny CDN, Cloudflare, and other providers; integration adjusts static resource URLs for CDN delivery. Cloudflare integration can clear its cache through the API when a purge is initiated. Proxy Cache works with Varnish integration to clear proxy-cached content when WP Fastest Cache clears its own cache.
Page and asset optimization
Premium controls include Minify HTML Plus, Minify CSS Plus, and Minify JavaScript, which remove unnecessary characters, comments, and whitespace from supported files. Combine JS Plus merges JavaScript resources. Defer JavaScript is designed to eliminate render-blocking JavaScript resources, while Delay JS can reduce the unused JavaScript warning in Google PageSpeed Insights.
- Optimize Images and Convert WebP for picture compression and next-generation image formats.
- Google Fonts Async and Lazy Load provide additional controls for resource delivery.
- Database Cleanup removes entries such as post revisions, trashed posts and pages, spam or trashed comments, trackbacks, pingbacks, transients, and orphaned metadata or term relationships.
- Other available controls include Gzip compression, browser caching, expires headers, CSS and JavaScript combination, and Disable Emoji, which removes the emoji inline CSS and wp-emoji-release.min.js.
These settings address different parts of page delivery. Review them individually with the website's theme, content, and delivery setup in mind. Running several caching extensions at once can cause issues, so disable other caching plugins while using WP Fastest Cache.
Setup and review
Install and activate WP Fastest Cache Premium in WordPress. In its settings, enable page caching, then configure cache timeout, preload, device, user, and exclusion options. Test minification, JavaScript combination, deferred or delayed scripts, and media settings individually. After changing settings, clear cached and minified files so the updated configuration can be applied.
