users who build websites using WordPressAfter that, how can you optimize WordPress to make your website load faster? Adding caching to your website is one of the most common optimization methods. The most commonly used WordPress caching plugin is probably WP Super Cache. Naibabiji currently uses
WP Rocket. The Breeze caching plugin introduced in this article is a free WordPress caching plugin launched by Cloudways (a WordPress hosting provider). Unlike
SiteGround's optimization plugins, which can only be used with their hosting, regardless of your hosting provider, as long as you are using WordPress to build your site, you can install the Breeze plugin to cache and optimize your website speed.
Breeze Features Introduction
Using Breeze is very simple; it works out of the box with default settings. Of course, if you want to customize it, you can make some adjustments, as shown in the images below.
By default, the cache system is checked, which means caching is enabled. The 1440 is the default cache purge time, set to 1 day. If your website is updated frequently, you might consider reducing the cache duration. Minifying files can speed up website access when checked, but it may cause layout issues. If you notice layout problems after checking an option, simply uncheck it and clear the cache. Gzip and browser caching should be checked by default.
In the Advanced Options, it's generally fine to leave the defaults blank unless your website has specific requirements, in which case you can add exclusions here.
The Database feature is a simple tool for cleaning up database junk files. If you have saved drafts, don't just select all and optimize them. As for CDN and VARNISH, configure them if needed. VARNISH is a caching technology; Cloudways hosting supports it by default, while other hosts may not. If needed, you can try installing Varnish cache support yourself.
Breeze Caching Effectiveness
If Breeze is correctly enabled, when viewing your website's Frontend source code while logged out, you will see a similar string of code like the one below.
This indicates that the page has been cached. You can test for yourself whether there is a difference in overall website loading speed with Breeze caching enabled versus disabled.
