Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about FastLayer

No. FastLayer never edits files in wp-includes/ or wp-admin/. Like most caching plugins, it creates and manages its own files outside the plugin folder: On activation it installs wp-content/advanced-cache.php. On activation it adds define( 'WP_CACHE', true ); to wp-config.php, above the "That's all, stop editing!" line. wp-config.php is backed up outside the web root first, and the line is removed again only when it carries FastLayer's own ownership marker.

See Uninstall and data removal for what happens when you deactivate or delete the plugin.

Use the FastLayer menu in the admin bar to Clear All Cache, Clear CSS/JS Cache or Preload Cache. The same actions are on the plugin Dashboard.

Cache exclusions for URLs, cookies and user agents are on the Advanced Rules screen. Individual CSS and JS files can be excluded by path, pattern or external domain on their own screens, and Safe Mode disables script delaying entirely. See Exclusions and diagnostics.

No. ImageKit is optional and off by default, and FastLayer works fully without it. See External Services for exactly what is sent if you enable it.

Page cache, configuration and the cache .htaccess: wp-content/cache/wp-fastlayer/ Combined and minified CSS/JS: wp-content/uploads/wp-fastlayer-min/ WebP files are generated next to the original images in your uploads folder.

Deactivating removes the drop-in, the wp-config.php line and the WebP .htaccess directives, and leaves your settings and cached files in place. Deleting removes the plugin's options, transients, cron jobs and cache files. See Uninstall and data removal for the full details.

No data leaves your site by default. The only external service is the optional ImageKit integration, and it does nothing until you configure it. See External Services for exactly what is sent, and by whom.
