Hi, I'm Gerard, founder of Caching Out and a few other projects.

We built Caching Out after watching caching plugins break sites in quiet ways such as a plugin overwriting another plugin's cache file, a logged-in page served to a stranger, a cleanup that deleted first and explained later.

So Caching Out checks before it touches. If another cache plugin owns the file it needs, it leaves it alone, names that plugin and keeps everything else running. Logged-in visitors and carts are never cached, with no setting to change that. The database cleanup shows you what it found before anything is deleted. And if your host is blocking a write, the Filesystem Check says what and how to fix it.

Visitors arriving from Facebook, Instagram, Google Ads, TikTok or a campaign link get the cached page too: the tracking parameters those links add are ignored by the cache out of the box.

The free edition is on https://wordpress.org/plugins/cachingout/. Caching Out Pro adds image compression with a before and after view, CSS delivery, delayed JavaScript, Unused CSS/JS rules with a preview, an Activity page where most changes can be undone, and an assistant that already knows how your site is set up.

We run it on our own sites first, including the salon website for our service based businesses such as our trichology software business. Results vary by host, theme and plugin mix. Tell us what breaks and what you'd want next.
