The Lite Cache Plugin Works Like a Charm

I have to be careful after my last rating post on another plugin, which also did just I wanted for my kind of website with one fatal flaw, it would cache 404 pages. That became an issue to me as I became aware that it stopped 404 headers from being delivered and delivered a 200 OK status. What Google and others like to call a “soft” 404. It also had a nasty habit of necessitating I re-cache the main page every time I logged out of admin (whether I would post something or not). Tried various hacks for a week, and all failed to stop 404 caching. (This bothered me more than Google’s opinion, as it would over-ride my server software’s anti-hacking function.)

Lite Cache is only slightly larger in size as the plugin I previously was using (WordPress Tiniest Super Cache), and the disk space used for the cache itself is nearly identical. It will *not* cache 404’s and is not bloated with things I don’t want or don’t need. It is “Zen Simplicity” in using, and reduces response time dramatically from a standard database served page.

Thank you to the author of this plug-in! I would recommend this plugin to anyone who wants a simple, effective and powerful caching plugin. It is the best of all I tried (many) and, at least for me, outperforms, without “bugs”, many of the most popular and publicized plugin.

5 Stars!
