Why BuddyPress tag?

I tested it with BP and it works well. I thought that BP is a real great plugin for WP and as I have found in my testing of other cache plugins, some don’t work as well with it.

P.S. I have decided to NOT be one of those innovation delayers and get rid of the so called “Pro Version”. Stay tuned for the next update. My next update to the plugin will include some really great functionality such as that listed under “Pro Features” and I am very excited for its release. I think WP innovation will increase as well as the Google results ranks of WP blogs that will use my plugin thereafter version 1.1. The main goal of this plugin is to make WordPress the #1 choice for performance. I hope to make WP nearly as fast as plain HTML sites. With the next release it makes that very possible.

Thank you for your interest in AIO Cache!

Hi Adam,

please tell me this plugin is going all the way. WordPress is brilliant but any size of site and a multisite, or membership with buddy on it etc and any number of great plugins becomes a very slow and very poorly rated beast.

I have spent a day breaking my site with WP Cache, Super Cache, WP Minify etc, so I’m hoping you have the answer here. How do I get my hands on the Pro version for a trial…? In the meantime I ‘ll go try the std version and see what happens.

I have been running GT Metrix and watching as nothing changes and I still have loads of external files etc. I am on a Bluehost shared server with this site and cannot get gzip working, despite all the htaccess hacks etc.

There has to be an easy way to get all this performance stuff done without resorting to hacking into all the plugins css and js files manually – that’s a nightmare.

Like you I want to fix this because WordPress, BuddyPress and all those great plugins are the way forward, so some way to put it all together and avoid all these calls and waste of space etc is totally required.

I’m surprised it doesn’t bother more people, but perceived wisdom is go for W3 Total cache and a good server, but it simply breaks my site and I am not sure about all the options and what to set and wheat not to, to see if I can un-break it. Some say leave the css, some say leave the js, some say – it works great for me, and many don’t – same for supercache – it just does nothing.

I’m also thinking about Amazon S3 not just for CDN but for hosting my site, need to work that all out, but a good working solution which just does what is says on the tin and lets people get it working on a shared environment would open this up to more people.

Ok, off my chest there, but I’m still running in circles here…

Help would be most appreciated..

cheers,

the site I am trying this all out on is https://craftsman-bu-march2nd.macgenterprise.com a development sub domain. It has Tersus theme on it and quite a few plugins. It’s image heavy with sliders. The images were optimised using ewww optimmizer plugin, and offline optimised also, but the big issue is the gzip (can’t seem to get it on) and all the external css/js and it’s not really a large site apart from that, certainly not like a full blown membership site. Using the same testing stuff I have seen that really any WP site with new sliders and images, optimised or not is slow, and again plugin load factor is a huge part of it, so this is pretty standard picture emerging – imho

sent you a donation, so hope you can send on the pro version…

@imacg

I am just like you, I have tried everything under the sun, and then one day I said, “Screw it, I’m making my own plugin!”

The standard plugin is meant to be just like the rest of the plugins. The pro version increases features, but I will admit I have just started the development of these plugins a few weeks ago.

Yesterday, I was working very hard on the plugin, and compared to all the other plugins available, I managed to attain 2x the speed of my site. I also managed to attain a 96/100 on the YSlow speed scale. It was a great breakthrough. So now, instead of my site loading at 1.5s with other cache plugins, my site loads in 0.856s with my plugin.

When I am done getting all of my stuff together with the pro version, the next release will be the best thing that has happened to people’s sites.

The next pro version release it expected in 2 weeks from now.

By the way, if you want a good .htaccess script, copy the contents of a .txt file located at:
https://aiocache.adamsassets.com/extras/htaccess.txt
to your .htaccess file.

PLEASE NOTE: Do not use too many other cache/performance/minification plugins alongside this plugin, or they might cause problems.

Sincerely,

Adam Zendarski
