codedragon-smartcache

Interesting plugin. Once installed, you are presented with the ubiquitous options, such as Dashboard, Page-Cache, Tools, Features, etc., much like other cache plugins. Where this plugin really stands out, is in the way it does precisely NOTHING—regardless of what option you click on. Amazing. The plugin allows you to run a ‘Scan’ on your site, which, once completed (takes a few seconds), informs you that the ‘scan’ has completed! Amazing stuff! The logo is a jet and looks cool in the notification area. Looking at that Jet logo definitely shaves a few ms of page loading time, I think. Uninstalled this pretty quick on account of its apparent inability to do anything. Lol

After trying COUNTLESS plugins (WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, WP Super Cache, WP Fastest Cache, etc), I was feeling pretty hopeless that I could find a plugin that met the needs of my website. Not only did CodeDragon’s SmartCache help me with full page caching, control over scripts and style sheets, but it also allowed me to do performance tests in GTMetrix, Pingdom and Google Pagespeed right from my site?!? Hells yeah! It was nice to be able to easily configure the plugin without having to have a vast array of programming knowledge. Sometimes I have found past plugin explanations of features confusing, but not with SmartCache. I had a site that was taken between 13-16 seconds to load, and SmartCache brought it down to under a second with no loss of quality. But don’t take my word for it, truly test it out yourself. I’m excited that I found this plugin. It’s going to really challenge the existing market for cache plugins for top seat. 5 Stars!!
