Powered Cache Premium

How caching and optimization work together

Powered Cache Premium combines WordPress caching, file and media controls, database maintenance, and administration tools in one configurable interface. Page caching prepares pages for faster delivery. Object caching supports dynamic pageviews and works with Redis, Memcached, Memcache, and APCu. Advanced page cache rules let you set various caching behavior for content with different delivery requirements.

Cache preloading generates cached pages in advance. Sitemap preloading visits the URLs listed in a sitemap to generate their cached pages. Smart cache purging clears only the cache affected by content changes. Logged-in visitor caching is available for user-specific content and membership websites. When a site uses a separate mobile theme, it can create separate cache documents for mobile devices.

Prepare styles, scripts, and pictures

Critical CSS and asynchronous CSS loading prioritize essential styles. Remove Unused CSS scans a website for CSS rules that are not in use, helping reduce unnecessary stylesheet content. CSS and JavaScript files can be minified and combined, and Google Fonts URLs can be combined to optimize font loading.

The Image Optimizer compresses images on the fly and converts them to AVIF or WebP. Automatic picture dimension assignment includes missing dimensions to support layout stability and loading performance. Other media controls include lazy loading, replacing YouTube videos with thumbnails, managing WordPress embeds, and removing emoji scripts. Link prefetching can prefetch links for a smoother browsing experience.

Configure cache delivery for the website

CDN integration uses entered CNAMEs and their corresponding zones. Rewrite support can configure .htaccess automatically so cached files can be served without executing PHP. Gzip support compresses cached files, and a Premium Varnish extension adds Varnish cache support. The add-on also includes Cloudflare and Heartbeat tools.

Google Tracking and Facebook Tracking are Premium extensions. Each hosts its respective external tracking script locally and updates it when the external resource changes.

Manage maintenance and WordPress setups

Scheduled database cleanups support recurring maintenance. WP-CLI options are available for command-line workflows. The plugin can be activated across a WordPress multisite network or on individual websites, and supports domain mapping with Mercator or the native WordPress domain mapping capability. Its interface is ad-free, and Premium includes access to support, one-on-one help, and documentation.

Install and configure the plugin

Install Powered Cache Premium in WordPress, then review its caching and optimization settings. Configure page caching, object caching, file and media optimization, and the extensions needed for the site. Settings can be imported and exported when managing configurations. After saving, use the cache controls and preload options that fit the site's workflow.
