Description
Saves you from asking “have you emptied your cache?”.
Features
- Safe to leave running on live sites.
- Only refreshes browser cache for a file if it has been modified.
- Resolves Content Delivery Network (CDN) issues. No need to purge CDN cache.
- Multisite compatible.
- “Just works” — no configuration necessary.
Requirements
Requires scripts use any of the below functions to load. Almost all files meet these requirements. The only case it doesn’t account for is when URLs are hard-coded. This shouldn’t ever be done, since it can break sites for other reasons.

Plugin works great with my woocommerce store.
Finally don't have to be worried that customers sees issues due to cached files.

Hasn't been updated in 2 years and still works great!
Would be nice if updated so more people are confident to use it 🙂

Works out of the Box. No more "browser cache clearing" advice to clients needed!
And Update would be awesome

It appends the version numbers, but the main page still gets stuck before loading due to pre-cached stuff.

I had issues with other plugins that attempt to version CSS & JS files...
But with this one..Busted!...I had no problems...
Thumbs up.

Fixed an issue with stale CSS being returned behind an Nginx reverse proxy. Unsure whether I'd use it in production, but very useful when a site is under active development.
