The Lite Cache technology is now part of [Hyper Cache](http://www.satollo.net/plugins/hyper-cache). You should migrate to Hyper Cache, Lite Cache won’t be update anymore (other than important fixes). Lite Cache is an ultra efficient cache plugin. It’s small and lite because it does only one thing: caching. Lite Cache is compatible with gzip compression and handles it automatically. Lite Cache can detect mobile devices and use a different theme for them creating a separate cache. Lite Cache works even with commenters, people who left a comment in the past. Other caching plugin usually are not able to serve cached content to commenters creating performance issues on higly partecipative blogs. Usage of .htaccess rules is possible using the code generated inside the administrative panel (but pay attention that a too much complex .htaccess seems to slow down more than serving cached pages via PHP). Install it and go to the options panel to find how to configure it.

Here: (http://www.satollo.net/plugins/lite-cache) How can I know if it is working? Open the admin side of your blog. Log out (yes, log out). Go to the home page or any other page of your blog. Load it twice. Look at the source code of the page: on the bottom you should see the lite cache signature.

I’m using it for years, works great on all WordPress versions. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/c32cea20be5c0350dc2153eae7f3c1cedd81f618e433b6f60a57008c92948770? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[So far so good](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/so-far-so-good-369/)󠁿 [gcdavis](https://profiles.wordpress.org/gcdavis/) February 7, 2017 I’ve just installed it after removing (too complex for a beginner) W3 Cache which twice left me with the white screen of death. Lite Cache has speeded up my admin page, adding products etc that had recently slowed to a crawl with no cacheing installed. Congratulations to the author, I shall make a donation.
