Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about PlugoSpeed

Yes — you should deactivate any other caching plugin before activating PlugoSpeed. Running two caching plugins simultaneously causes conflicts. PlugoSpeed detects an existing advanced-cache.php drop-in and will warn you if it cannot safely install its own.
Yes. PlugoSpeed includes a dedicated Elementor integration. The cache is automatically purged when you save a page in Elementor. The Elementor editor itself is excluded from caching to prevent interference with its preview mode.
Yes. Cart, checkout, account, and order pages are automatically excluded from the static cache. Product pages are cached and purged automatically when stock levels or prices change. WooCommerce currency cookies create separate cache variants when needed.
Try disabling CSS Combine first (it is off by default). If the issue persists, you can disable CSS minification entirely from the Optimize tab. For fine-grained control, use the URL exclusion list in Cache settings to exclude specific pages.
It is. The WordPress admin bar is rendered client-side for logged-in users. Logged-in users are never served cached pages — they always receive a fresh, dynamic response from WordPress. If you are logged in and not seeing the admin bar, check your theme or another plugin.
After a full cache purge, PlugoSpeed queues a background job via Action Scheduler. That job walks your XML sitemap and visits each URL using a PlugoSpeed/Preload user agent. Each visit triggers advanced-cache.php to generate and write the cache file. The preloader is rate-limited to 10 pages/second to avoid server overload.
Phase 1 supports Apache only. Nginx support is on the roadmap for Phase 2. If you use Nginx, the PHP-level caching (via advanced-cache.php) still works and provides significant improvement over no caching — you just won't get the Apache-level static file serving bypass.
In wp-content/cache/plugospeed/{hostname}/{path}/default/index.html. The directory structure mirrors your site's URL structure. You can safely delete this entire folder — PlugoSpeed will recreate it as pages are visited.
wp-content/cache/plugospeed/ must be writable by the web server user (typically www-data on Ubuntu/Debian, apache on CentOS). PlugoSpeed attempts to create the directory with correct permissions on activation.
Multisite support is planned for Phase 2. Single-site installations are fully supported. I enabled RUCSS and my site looks broken. RUCSS is a Pro feature that generates per-page stylesheets using a headless browser. If the generated CSS is incorrect, PlugoSpeed silently falls back to the original stylesheet — your site will never be left broken. You can also purge the RUCSS cache from the Tools tab to regenerate it.
