It creates a unique key based on the page variables and user and then if a request is made with identical variables it serves the request from a static file rather than building the page from the database. When a post is updated or a comment is left the cache is cleared. It is ideal for sites with a lot of anonymous reads and not too many updates. (For example, during a Slashdotting.) ## Screenshots [⌊This is a chart showing the performance of a WordPress blog under very high loads with and without Staticize.

If you have Compression turned on under Miscellaneous options, turn it off 3. Activate the plugin on the plugin screen 4. Caching should begin immediately. It’s a good idea to deactivate when making template changes. To flush the cache just edit a post or comment. ## FAQ #### Do I really need to use this plugin? Probably not, WordPress is fast enough that caching usually only adds a few milliseconds of performance that isn’t really perceptible by users. Some reasons you may want to use Staticize Reloaded: * If your site gets Slashdotted * If you’re on a very slow server * If you’ve had a complaint from your host about performance #### How can I tell if it’s working? Staticize Reloaded adds some stats to the very end of a page in the HTML, so you can view source to see the time it took to generate a page and rather it was cached or not. Remember that the cache is created on demand, so the first time you load a page it’ll be generated from the database. #### I see gibberish on the screen when I activate this plugin? Make sure that you deactivated compression on the Miscellaneous options screen and that gzip encoding is turned off on the PHP level #### How do I make certain parts of the page stay dynamic? There are two ways to do this, you can have functions that say dynamic or include entire other files. To have a dynamic function in the cached PHP page use this syntax around the function: ``` ``` The HTML comments around the mirrored PHP allow it to be executed in the static page. To include another file try this: ``` ``` That will include file.php under the ABSPATH directory, which is the same as where your `wp-config.php` file is located. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors and Developers “Staticize Reloaded” is open source software.
