8- Edit the following settings:

 

  • Activate Page Cache:

This property creates static pages of dynamic content, rather than reviewing dynamic content every time the pages are requested, and it helps greatly to reduce consumption and improve browsing performance.

 

  • Activate Minify:

This property is responsible for minimizing CSS and HTML files by adding line breaks, comments and spaces to be able to load them faster through the browser.

 

  • Activate Database Cache:

Using this property, database queries results are saved, rather than executing the queries from the database server each time.

 

  • Activate Object Cache:

There are internal cache systems available in Wordpress related to sub-systems such as Caching API, Object Cache and Transient API. If you are experiencing complicated queries within the database, we recommend to activate this property.

 

  • Activate Browser Cache:

Each time a visitor visits your website, pictures and (CSS, HTML and JS) files are loaded from the server to the browser. Using Browser Cache, these files are kept for a while inside the temporary files in each visitor’s browser, so the visitor won’t need to load the same files each time he/she visits your website.

 

9- Save the settings by pressing (Save all settingsave_all_setting

 

10- Close the preview mode by pressing (Disable) beside (Preview Mode) in (General) block to activate the plugin completely.

 

If you have subscribed to a CDN services provider, you can activate it on the same page. Also, if you have subscriptions to the (CloudFlare) service provider, you can add your data, and enjoy the services integration through the plugin.


If you are a dedicated server customer, we recommend to change (Cache Method) to (Opcode: XCache).
