I've worked with just about every WordPress cache plugin out there and this one ranks up there with the best of them. The performance that this plugin provides is incredible. So far it's very stable and plays well with other plugins, too. 🙂 If you appreciate a developer that provides great support and not only listens to feedback, but actually provides users with results based on feedback, then support this developer. 5 stars all the way!

After installing the plugin the website was completely broken: it didn't load with page cache nor with the minify, and also, once I uninstalled it all the pages started to give a 404 error completely breaking the website and having to resort to a backup.

This cache plugin works well with XAMPP on Windows environment. It improves much pagespeed and everything looks great at frontend. I am not only satisfied with using Powered Cache on my site, but it also handles image optimization well. Great plugin!

I've tried every known major caching plugin throughout the years (free and paid), and Powered Cache is exceptional. It's now my go-to caching plugin. The default settings alone are enough to ramp page speeds up high. Lighthouse tests are pushing 99-100% in performance metrics. The built-in CDN functionality allowed me to ditch my custom setup or to avoid installing a second CDN-onlyy plugin. The CDN functionality runs across the entire rendered page, and not just on inner content and excerpts. Once again, the defaults are smart. It knows to CDN absolute and relative path URLs for images, css, js, and pdfs, but smartly excludes php, xml, and json extensions. The interface is elegant and thoughtful. It's not plagued with optionitis, where it bombards you with a messy configuration to make itself seem sophisticated. Every option presented make sense and has a real world purpose. And what this plugin is capable of is very comprehensive. It even has an area when you can specify prefetch-dns and preconnect URLs. That's a third plugin you don't need that's built into Powered Cache. And last is the fantastic, blazing fast support. I reported two very edge case bugs and one suggestion/feature request. All problems were responded to and resolved with an official plugin update within 24 hours. Compare that to other abandoned, tumbleweed plugin support forums that wait days, weeks, or never to get a response. This is a tremendous caching plugin that puts other similar, more bloated plugins to shame.
