Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about CacheNova
Any theme, any plugin. The core of this plugin — clearing transients, object cache, OPcache, its own optional page cache, and popular third-party cache plugins, on a schedule and on every save — hooks into WordPress's own standard events (save_post, switch_theme, activated_plugin, and so on), which fire identically no matter what theme or page builder is active. Divi support is a bonus that's detected and applied automatically only if Divi happens to be installed; nothing Divi-specific runs, and nothing is required, on a site that isn't using it.
No. It detects common caching plugins (WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, WP Super Cache, LiteSpeed Cache, SiteGround Optimizer, Autoptimize) and flushes them as part of a full clear, rather than working against them.
On Divi 4 sites: not while this plugin is active — it's re-enforced on every page load. On Divi 5: there is no longer a setting for this at all (Elegant Themes removed it), so the question doesn't apply — the plugin purges the et-cache folder after every request instead.
Not for the full duration of a request — Divi 5 has no opt-out for dynamic CSS generation, so it may briefly create files while serving a page. This plugin removes them again immediately after each request finishes, so the folder never persists or accumulates stale files, but it can't be prevented from being written to at all on Divi 5 the way it can on Divi 4.
No — the scheduled background tick only performs a lightweight clear (object cache and expired transients). The heavier full clear only runs when you actually save content in Divi or click "Clear Cache Now" manually.
With that toggle ON, deleting the plugin (not just deactivating it) removes its settings, its last-cleared/last-clear-type records, and the wp-content/cache/cachenova folder it uses for the built-in Public/Private page cache, then runs one final full-site cache clear. It does not touch Divi's own et-cache folder, since that belongs to Divi, not to this plugin. It's OFF by default, so a normal delete leaves your settings in place in case you reinstall later.
A persistent object cache lets WordPress reuse database query results across page loads (via APCu, Redis, or Memcached) instead of re-querying every time, which typically speeds up admin and front-end response times. It's OFF by default. Turning it on runs a real connection test first — nothing is installed if that test fails. If it succeeds, the plugin writes a wp-content/object-cache.php drop-in plus a small config file, and clears the cache once so it starts clean. It will never overwrite a different object-cache.php that's already there (from WP Redis, W3 Total Cache, etc.) — it detects that and asks you to remove the existing one first. Deactivating this plugin always removes the drop-in again, so caching goes back to WordPress's normal per-request behavior the moment you switch it off.
The cache-plugin detection and general WordPress cache clearing work on any site. The Static CSS File Generation override is Divi-specific and has no effect if Divi isn't active.
