Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Hyper Cache Extended

Contact me at martin@lazarov.bg - it's the quickest way to have it fixed. You can post to the WordPress forum too but I read it rarely.
If the Server load is above Max server load average then the plugin will serve only cached version and will not try to create new cache file until the server load is bellow Max server load average value. You can read more about this in bulgarian
Yes! You can use URI to reject text box to enter URL's that will not be cached! Use with caution - not allowing HCE to cache can lead to slow WordPres experience
You can click on “Enable” for “Cleaning process” – “Cleaning process – Enable/Disable auto purging of old files. Enable cleaning process to remove expired cache. This will free some space, but it’s better to keep this Disabled”.
