It does five things, and does them well: * **Full-Page Caching** — serves static HTML snapshots to logged-out visitors so PHP and the database are skipped entirely on repeat requests. * **CSS Minification** — automatically minifies first-party stylesheets and serves the minified version from a local cache. * **JavaScript Deferral** — defers non-critical scripts so the browser can paint the page before running them, with an exclude list for scripts that must load immediately. * **Font Optimization** — loads Google Fonts asynchronously so web fonts never block the initial render. * **Lazy Loading** — adds native lazy-loading to images and iframes below the fold, while protecting your Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) image from being delayed. Built for site owners and developers who want a fast, transparent, single-purpose caching plugin — not a 40-tab settings panel. #### Why CacheWing Most all-in-one caching plugins bundle features you’ll never use and settings that are hard to reason about. CacheWing focuses only on the optimizations that move Google PageSpeed Insights and Core Web Vitals scores, with sane defaults that work out of the box. #### Features at a glance * One-click cache clearing from the admin bar * Automatic cache purge on publish/update, new comments, theme switch, and plugin activation/deactivation * Per-script exclude list for JavaScript deferral * Cache status dashboard (pages cached, disk usage) * Zero external dependencies, zero tracking, zero telemetry ## Installation 1. Upload the `cachewing` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install the zip directly via Plugins Add New Upload Plugin. 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress. 3. Go to Settings CacheWing to review the default settings (all optimizations are enabled by default). ## FAQ ### Will this conflict with another caching plugin? Deactivate any other page-caching plugin before activating CacheWing — running two full-page cache plugins at once can cause stale content or conflicts. ### Does it cache pages for logged-in users? No. Full-page caching only applies to logged-out visitors, so logged-in editors and admins always see a live, uncached version of the page. ### Will minifying my CSS break my design? CacheWing only minifies first-party stylesheets (files served from your own domain) using safe whitespace/comment stripping — it does not restructure selectors, so visual regressions are extremely unlikely. You can turn CSS minification off at any time from the settings page. ### How do I exclude a script from being deferred? Add its registered script handle (the name used in `wp_enqueue_script()`) to the“ Exclude handles” field on the settings page, comma-separated. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “CacheWing” is open source software.
