Disable CSS JS Cache
Disable CSS JS Cache is a lightweight plugin that helps WordPress developers and site administrators control browser caching for CSS and JavaScript files. Ideal for development, testing, or any time you need browsers to always load the freshest files. Key Features Cache Busting — Appends a dynamic version parameter to CSS/JS URLs so browsers skip the cache Two Busting Methods — Force Refresh (timestamp, every page load) or Smart Refresh (file modification time, only when the file actually changes) File-Type Control — Apply cache busting to both CSS & JS, CSS only, or JS only Strip Existing Version — Remove WordPress’s built-in ?ver= before adding ours, preventing duplicate parameters Per-Page Override — Disable cache busting on individual pages or posts via a meta box in the editor (new in 1.2.0) CDN Support — Optionally apply cache busting to external/CDN-hosted files Exclude Paths — Skip specific files or URL fragments Browser Caching (.htaccess) — Add long-lived Cache-Control headers for images, CSS, JS, and PDF files Configurable Cache Duration — 60 seconds up to 1 year Admin Bar Quick Toggle — One-click enable/disable from the toolbar Statistics Dashboard — See how many CSS and JS files have been processed Clear Cache Button — Flush WordPress object cache and compatible caching plugins in one click Admin Notice — Optional reminder when cache busting is active (handy for production sites) Clean Uninstall — Removes all settings and .htaccess rules when the plugin is deleted How It Works When cache busting is enabled, the plugin adds a ?ver= query string to every CSS and JS URL loaded on the frontend. Browsers treat each new URL as a fresh request, ignoring any cached copy. Choose Force Refresh for development (version changes every page load) or Smart Refresh for production (version changes only when the file timestamp changes). The optional .htaccess browser-caching feature writes Cache-Control headers so returning visitors load static assets straight from their browser cache. Use Cases Development — See theme/plugin changes instantly without clearing your browser cache Staging — Verify the latest files are loaded during QA Production — Enable browser caching for performance while still being able to bust the cache on demand Troubleshooting — Quickly rule out stale-cache issues Technical Details Developer Hooks Action do_action( ‘disable_css_js_cache_cleared’ ) — fires when the Clear Cache button is clicked. Filters (WordPress core, used by this plugin) style_loader_src, script_loader_src Constants DISABLE_CSS_JS_CACHE_VERSION — current plugin version string DISABLE_CSS_JS_CACHE_FILE — absolute path to the main plugin file DISABLE_CSS_JS_CACHE_DIR — absolute path to the plugin directory (with trailing slash) Requirements * WordPress 5.5 or higher * PHP 7.4 or higher * Apache with mod_headers (browser-caching feature only) * Writable .htaccess (browser-caching feature only)

Features It’s a jQuery-powered sliding panel. That’s a feature in-and-of itself, right? Uses widgets, so you can add pretty much anything you can add to any other sidebar. Uses the WordPress-packaged jQuery. Will automatically display with any correctly-coded theme. Supports HTML5 and Schema.org microdata. It’s responsive, so it’ll look good on any device.
