Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Breeze Cache

Breeze, by default, supports Varnish. It has been tested to be fully compatible with Cloudways Servers that come with Varnish pre-installed. If you are using hosting providers other than Cloudways, we suggest you confirm Varnish support with your hosting provider

Breeze is fully compatible with WooCommerce, out of the box. It does not require any special configurations.

Breeze is fully compatible with WordPress Multisite without the need for any extra configuration.

Breeze handles all WordPress Multisite instances globally. All the settings for multisite are now handled on the network level.

We DO NOT recommend using two WordPress cache plugins at the same time on any WordPress website. We strongly recommend that you use Breeze as the only cache plugin for your website. If there are any other cache plugins installed, please ensure that you have disabled them prior to proceeding with the Breeze installation.

Breeze does not require any special configuration to work with HTTP or HTTPS pages.

Breeze has been tested with popular plugins available on WordPress.org. Please feel free to report any incompatibilities on the WordPress Support Forums or on Cloudways Community Forum.

Breeze supports CDN integration. It allows all static assets (such as images, CSS and JS files) to be served via CDN.

WordPress databases are notorious for storing information like post revisions, spam comments and much more. Over time, databases l become bloated and it is a good practice to clear out unwanted information to reduce database size and improve optimization. Breeze's database optimization cleans out unwanted information in a single click.

Comments will appear upon moderation as per the comment system (or policy) set in place by the blog owner. Other dynamic changes such as any modifications in files will require a full cache purge.
