I'm simply amazed at how simple and super quick this plugin is. Even if I was sponsored to use another caching plugin I simply wouldn't!

Best caching plugin of all

By James Hunt (rite8rite) on May 31, 2021

I rarely write review but this plugin is really well deserved. Certainly this is a reliable caching plugin can go against the major competitors out there. There are many reviews out there suggesting the load times are not as fast as other big players, but that is simply not true. I tested myself and can confirm this actually loads faster than those claimed to be faster in those popular reviews in the wild. This plugin only do 1 thing unlike its competitor and it nailed it! I particular like the built-in compatibility with other plugins I've used, non-intrusive at all, also the way it caches with its HDD mode, that's how a real cache mechanism should work. I have been using many of the popular caching plugin in my production sites, until I gave Cachify a try, and I am a totally satisfied with it. The only concerns for some people is the manual configuration on the htaccess file to make it work, but that's never an issue for me for just copy and paste a paragraph of setting into 1 file. Good work guys! Thank you for your great efforts developing this excellent plugin! Please keep this simple and free.

Excellent caching

By ritzonline on June 3, 2018

The key features of this plugin is simple interface without a lot of ads, support the HDD and Database Cache file structure work on my side, Very powerful, great job

Funktioniert super

By Ronny Thieme (ronnythieme) on May 17, 2017

Ich nutze den HDD-Cache, um nicht nur die Datenbankabfragen, sondern auch die Ausführung von PHP zu verringern. Die Seiten werden jetzt wesentlich schneller ausgeliefert und die Serverauslastung ist deutlich niedriger.
