Simple Plugin For Casual WP Users

Alright, no beating around the bush here – I’m just gonna tell it like it is. This plugin does exactly what it says on the tin: it makes static HTML, CSS, and JS copies of your site. But don’t expect any fancy stuff like HTML minification, deferred JS, critical CSS, or any of those bells and whistles you usually see in other WordPress caching plugins. You also won’t find options to ditch emojis or compress scripts.

So, does it actually work? Yep! I tested it on one of my sites, and I easily hit an ‘A’ score on GTmetrix just by using Jetpack CDN and Cloudflare Proxy. Just a heads-up, though: it doesn’t do CDN integration. This plugin is super simple, and it’s definitely made for folks who aren’t coders or developers. So, keep your expectations in check.

If you’re just a casual blogger, this cache plugin is a solid pick – just remember to exclude any pages with online forms. But if you’re a developer like me, you’re probably better off with a different plugin that gives you more control.
