WP-Optimize – Cache, Compress images, Minify & Clean database to boost page speed & performance vs Naibabiji Cache Purger for EdgeOne

A powerful WordPress plugin that automatically purges Tencent Cloud EdgeOne cache when your posts, pages, or custom post types are published, updated, or deleted. External services This plugin connects to the Tencent Cloud EdgeOne API (https://teo.tencentcloudapi.com) to provide cache purging and prefetching functionality. It sends the Following information to Tencent Cloud when a purge or prefetch operation is triggered (e.g., when a post is updated, or when manual purge is used): * Tencent Cloud API Credentials (SecretId): Used for request authentication and signing. * EdgeOne Zone ID: Used to identify the specific site/zone in EdgeOne. * Target URLs or Paths: The specific resources that need to be cleared or prefetched from the CDN nodes. This service is provided by “Tencent Cloud”: Terms of Service, Privacy Policy. Features Automatic Cache Purge Automatically purges cache when posts are published, updated, or deleted Supports all public post types (posts, pages, and custom post types) Smart purge: automatically refreshes post pages, homepage, category archives, tag archives, author archives, and date archives Comment Integration Automatically purges related post cache when new comments are approved Manual Purge Support for manual purge of specific posts or entire site Quick purge buttons in admin panel for recent posts Flexible Configuration Choose purge method: delete cache (delete) or mark as expired (invalidate) Optional logging of purge operations Secure key configuration via wp-config.php constants Cache Plugin Integration Automatically purges EdgeOne cache when popular WordPress cache plugins clear their cache Supports WP Super Cache, W3 Total Cache, WP Rocket, and LiteSpeed Cache Force mode ensures cache plugin integrations work even when auto purge is disabled Proper timing control ensures compatibility with all cache plugin loading sequences Cache Prefetching Optional cache prefetching after purging (disabled by default) Only prefetches post URLs, not archive pages to conserve EdgeOne prefetch quota Ensures first visitor gets cached content immediately Prefetch results are displayed in the purge logs for easy monitoring Enhanced Logging Detailed logging of all purge operations with success/failure status Manual log clearing functionality for easier debugging Prefetch operation results displayed alongside purge results Job IDs and error messages for easy troubleshooting Advanced Manual Purge Optimized host-specific “Purge All” using the purge_host method Manual purge operations are not affected by auto purge settings Force mode support for cache plugin integrations Comprehensive URL coverage for post-related purges Custom URL Purge Purge cache for specific URLs (CSS, JS, images, etc.) Support for directory prefix purge using trailing slash (/) Batch processing: enter multiple URLs, one per line Automatic URL validation and filtering Smart type detection: files use purge_url, directories use purge_prefix Nginx Cache Integration Optionally clear Nginx server-side page cache (FastCGI cache or Proxy cache) alongside EdgeOne CDN cache Configured separately — most sites using only WordPress cache plugins do not need this Nginx cache and EdgeOne cache are cleared independently; either can succeed even if the other fails Includes path validation with real-time feedback in the settings page Uses ngx_cache_purge module for precise URL-based cache clearing (faster and more efficient) Added “Purge Endpoint Path” option for customizable Nginx purge URL path (e.g., use a random string like /xK9mPurge_q7z for better security) Uses HTTPS requests to your site’s own domain for purge, avoiding HTTP-to-HTTPS redirect issues Friendly error messages in purge logs: clearly explains why a URL wasn’t cached (e.g., “Not cached — the page was returned instead of a purge response”) instead of showing raw HTML Fallback to file deletion for full-site purge operations Detailed per-URL purge logging for Nginx cache operations No SDK Required Direct API calls, no need to install Tencent Cloud SDK Compatible with all WordPress versions 5.5+ Configuration Get Tencent Cloud API Keys Visit Tencent Cloud Console Create or get your SecretId and SecretKey Get EdgeOne Zone ID Visit EdgeOne Console Select your site and find the Zone ID (format: zone-xxxxxx) Configure Plugin There are two configuration methods: Method 1: Using wp-config.php (Recommended) Add these constants to your WordPress wp-config.php file: define( 'NB_CACHE_PURGER_SECRET_ID', 'your-secret-id' ); define( 'NB_CACHE_PURGER_SECRET_KEY', 'your-secret-key' ); Then in WordPress admin: 1. Go to “Settings” → “Naibabiji Cache Purger” 2. Fill in the Zone ID (Secret ID and Secret Key will be automatically loaded from constants) 3. Choose other options and save Method 2: Direct Configuration in Admin Log in to WordPress admin Go to “Settings” → “Naibabiji Cache Purger” Fill in the following information: Secret ID: Tencent Cloud API Secret ID Secret Key: Tencent Cloud API Secret Key Zone ID: EdgeOne Zone ID Choose other options: Enable Auto Purge: Whether to automatically purge cache when posts are updated Purge Method: delete: Directly delete node cache invalidate: Mark as expired, revalidate from origin Enable Logging: Whether to log purge operations Nginx Cache Integration (Optional) Only needed if your server uses Nginx FastCGI cache or Proxy cache (configured via fastcgi_cache_path or proxy_cache_path in nginx.conf). Most sites using WordPress cache plugins do not need this. In “Settings” → “Naibabiji Cache Purger” → scroll to the Nginx Cache Integration section at the bottom Check Enable Nginx Cache Purge Set a Purge Endpoint Path — we recommend using a random string (e.g., /xK9mPurge_q7z) for security, so you can use allow all; in Nginx without exposing the endpoint to attackers Enter the absolute filesystem path to your Nginx cache zone directory (e.g. /var/run/nginx-cache) — this is only used as fallback when purging the entire site The web server process (e.g. www-data) must have write permission to this directory The settings page will validate the path and show whether it is writable Save settings — Nginx cache will now be cleared automatically every time EdgeOne cache is purged Nginx Purge Configuration To use the ngx_cache_purge module integration, you need to configure your Nginx server block with the appropriate purge rules. Replace /xK9mPurge_q7z with your custom purge path: nginx location ~ /xK9mPurge_q7z(/.*) { allow all; deny none; fastcgi_cache_purge YOUR_CACHE_ZONE "https$request_method$host$1"; # Or for proxy cache: # proxy_cache_purge YOUR_CACHE_ZONE "https$request_method$host$1"; } Replace YOUR_CACHE_ZONE with the name of your Nginx cache zone (e.g., wordpress). Important notes: * The fastcgi_cache_purge key ("https$request_method$host$1") must match your fastcgi_cache_key directive exactly, including the https prefix * If you are using BT Panel (宝塔) with an HTTP-to-HTTPS redirect rule, the plugin sends HTTPS requests to your own domain, so no additional exclusion rules are needed * For detailed configuration instructions, see the configuration tutorial

MORE THAN A CACHING PLUGIN WP-Optimize is trusted by more than 1 million WordPress website owners to boost performance and reduce page load times to improve your site’s user experiences and SERP rankings in Google. It does this in four clever ways: 1. It caches your site Caching is the process of storing a temporary HTML version of your site on the server so it can be retrieved more quickly for the user. It’s a sure-fire way to ensure web pages load at lightning-fast speed. Turn it on in just one click. 2. It compresses images Large images can really impact page speed load times. WP-Optimize makes it easy to identify and compress images to your preferred lossy / lossless settings in a couple of clicks. 3. It cleans the database Your WordPress database stores everything that you need, plus some things that you don’t. WP-Optimize cleans and optimizes the database to speed up your site and save server resources. 4. It minifies On top of its three main features, WP-Optimize Cache also has the more advanced minification feature. Together with caching, minification dramatically improves performance and page speed load time. 1. CACHE YOUR SITE Turn on caching in just one click: WP-Optimize automatically and optimally configures itself for your WordPress site. Turn it on in one-click or refine its settings if you prefer. More cache features: Cache preloading: This feature emulates a visit to your site, meaning cached files are served straight away, speeding up your site from the very first visit. GZIP Compression: When the server isn’t configured to do so, WP-Optimize delivers HTML, CSS and JS files to the user’s browser as smaller, compressed files, reducing the size of pages and style sheets by up to 90%! Preload key requests: Recommended by Google to improve page speed times. Critical resources (things like font files) get loaded first, so the page loads much faster [Premium]. Use cache settings to: Serve cached content to logged in users: Turn this on if content stays the same for logged in users (or turn on and exclude URLs where content does change e.g. my account areas). Exclude content from cache: Exclude by URL, conditional tags, browser agent strings or list cookies that should prevent caching when set (advanced user settings). Deliver device-specific cache: Serve separate cache files to desktop and mobile devices . This ensures that responsive features e.g. desktop and mobile menus are cached separately and served correctly. User per role cache: Useful if your website delivers different content to different user roles. e.g. an e-commerce site that displays different content to resellers or consumers [Premium]. User specific cache: Serves separate cache files to individual users. Useful for websites with personalised content e.g. Learning management systems [Premium]. Cache purging permissions: Select which user roles are allowed to purge the cache e.g. admin only or perhaps a ‘teacher’ role in an LMS setting only [Premium]. 2. COMPRESS IMAGES Lossy or lossless compression options: Choose between maximum space saving, best image quality or somewhere in-between. WebP conversion: Recommended by Google, WebP can achieve up to 34% smaller file sizes compared to JPEG and up to 26% compared to PNG. Auto-compress: Check a box and every new image you upload will automatically be compressed to your preferred lossy / lossless settings. Bulk compression: Compress every existing image on your site with the press of a button. Restore original: Gone too far? Revert images back to their original in one click. Retain EXIF image data: Check a box to retain EXIF image data during compression. Lazy Load: Webpages load much faster by loading web parts gradually, when they’re needed vs simultaneous loading of everything, all at once [Premium]. Delete orphaned images: Identify and delete unused images from your WordPress website, saving disk space [Premium]. Delete unused image sizes: WordPress creates multiple sizes for every uploaded image causing the uploads folder to become bloated. Scan for image sizes not in use and remove them to save further disk space [Premium]. 3. CLEAN AND OPTIMIZE THE DATABASE Cleans-up database tables, post revisions, auto draft posts, trashed posts, spam, trashed comments and more. Choose what to optimize or it’s one click to clean out the lot. Schedule clean-ups: So you can set and forget. Choose from daily, weekly, fortnightly or monthly. Flexible clean-up schedules: You may wish to optimize database tables more frequently than you remove unapproved comments (for example). Choose the specific time and day when tasks should run [Premium]. Retain a set number of weeks’ data during clean-ups: Just in case you need to retrieve something. Back up before clean-ups: If you delete something you shouldn’t, restore it in a couple of clicks with UpdraftPlus. Power tweak – Turbo boost for WooCommerce: Unique to WP-Optimize, this power tweak boosts performance by replacing a slow query in WooCommerce with two much more efficient queries. E-commerce sites transacting high numbers of orders stand to gain here [Premium]. Power tweak – Boost performance by indexing the postmeta table: This unique power tweak works by allowing the WordPress postmeta table to be indexed, improving performance [Premium]. 4. MINIFY AND COMBINE HTML, CSS AND JAVASCRIPT Minify in just one click: Minifies HTML, JavaScript and CSS. Toggle on or off or customise each one under ‘settings’. Customise minification: Minify only (removing unnecessary code e.g line breaks and white spacing) or minify and merge. Apply the same or different settings to HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Asynchronous loading: Choose non-critical CSS and JavaScript files to load in the background and independently of other resources e.g. analytics or pixel scripts. Loading asynchronously eliminates render blocking and improves page speed. Exclude files from being minified: Specify CSS and JavaScript files to exclude from minification. Optimize fonts: Optimize Font Awesome and Google Fonts. Inline the font files, inherit from CSS settings or load CSS / Javascript asynchronously instead. Preload assets: WP-Optimize visits each web page on your site so the code is minified and preloaded for real life users, right from their very first visit. Preload key requests: Recommended by Google to improve page speed times. Critical resources (things like font files) get loaded first, so the page loads much faster. WHY WP-OPTIMIZE? It’s brought to you by TeamUpdraft, the team behind the world’s most trusted backup, migration and restoration plugin. It’s easy to use. It packs a punch for a free plugin. WP-Optimize brings the best cache and optimization technology together into one single, seamless plugin to make your WordPress site fast, lean and efficient. PREMIUM FEATURES AT A GLANCE Our free version of WP-Optimize Cache is great, but we also have an even more powerful Premium version with extra features that offer the ultimate in freedom and flexibility: Multisite Support: extends database optimisations so they function for multiple WordPress sites at a time. If you manage more than one website, you will need WP-Optimize Cache Premium. Flexibility and Control: gives you the power to optimize select individual tables or a particular combination of tables on one or more WordPress websites, rather than having to optimize all database tables. Deleting unused and unwanted images: removes orphaned images from your WordPress site, plus images of a certain, pre-defined size. Sophisticated Scheduling: offers a wide range of options for scheduling automatic optimization. Specify an exact time and run clean-ups daily, weekly, fortnightly or monthly and perform any number of additional once off optimizations. Seamless Graphical User Interface: for superb clarity in scheduling and managing of multi-site optimizations. WP-CLI support: provides a way to manage optimizations from command-line interface if you have lots of sites Lazy Loading: load only the images and part of a web-page when it is visible to the user so they can see something very quickly. Optimization Preview: gives users the ability to preview, select and remove data and records available for optimization from the database. Preload key requests: preload assets such as web fonts and icon fonts, as recommended by Google PageSpeed Insights. Premium support – caching is one of the most complex things you can do for a website, so premium support offers you peace of mind there’s someone to talk quickly to if you need any technical answers or help configuring the optimizations of cache settings for your website.
