The document says the only way to tell if the plugin is working is that it will add a couple of lines at the bottom of the source code, but nothing happens… the only thing this plugin did was to waste my 20 mins ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/d181bc4e46d5d6d0ab0042b9d6ce4b444b55db718ef955adeefc8b9824a4a2be? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Very effective plugin to activate cache for a website.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/very-effective-plugin-to-activate-cache-for-a-website/)󠁿 [IamLuckyMan](https://profiles.wordpress.org/iamluckyman/) February 7, 2024 Very easy to configure. The website loads much faster after plugin installation and activation of the “Enable Cache” feature.Highly recommended!Dear Developers, please keep it updated. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/9aca140152b9c85d6e2ea7334bcd2adce65ac7bb175e3a8f5ec28492f402ca71? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[I wish more people used this great plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/excellent-caching-plugin-12/)󠁿 [dimal](https://profiles.wordpress.org/dimalifragis/) February 4, 2024 1 reply I updated today for the 3rd time my review. My first review was 5 stars, the second was 1 star but now things seem to be again in sync. Since the old Comet Cache was the only caching plugin i trusted, Rapid Cache was the naturall choice for me. – It uses PHP for serving the cached pages and that is much much more compatible with everything than mod_rewrite mode. – It clears the cache when needed automatically, even when some update happens. – It just works everytime. It is as good and better 🙂 and i wish more people used this plugin instead of other semi-working ones. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/57c6c2dbcdcec436310ebf6752457dbc5c49b7b1aa6830fbbf26dbac4d590b38? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[No support](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-support-466/)󠁿 [macbook71](https://profiles.wordpress.org/macbook71/) June 18, 2021 No support. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/d5abe05af2042f197df00b053c1d64422ad29e068b6594724a27e428c45cf5fb? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Perfect cache plugin, A+](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/perfect-cache-plugin-a/)󠁿 [wpenthusiast7](https://profiles.wordpress.org/wpenthusiast7/) March 29, 2021 Perfect cache plugin. Ideal for a website (like so many) with simple content pages… speed is super fast now in google. Thank you for the work! Appreciated. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/8c0ced2ad5a0c50ec3a0903b1d1946b4309a9b5e4ed01ff7f8d40bc710f49e3e? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Good out of the box.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/good-out-of-the-box-2/)󠁿 [nick6352683](https://profiles.wordpress.org/nick6352683/) September 13, 2020 2 replies Disclaimer: I have a lifetime licence of Comet Cache, which actually when I bought the license it was called Zen Cache, or the name before that… So Comet Cache Pro out of the box, with very little fiddling makes my sites running on crappy Godaddy shared hosting from loading in 2-3 seconds time, to load almost instantly, to the point that people ask me if I’m using a VPS or a dedicated server… The only drawback that it has (and I tried this just once many years ago), the caching did not work on my WAMP localserver running on a Win. 7 Pro machine. After downloading and installing Rapid Cache on the same localhost today, I was pleasantly surprised that it works on my localserver, not that I need to have such a plugin in this environment, but it will be good for testing, benchmarking, etc… Before this plugin was activated, my pageloads were 0.6 – 0.7 seconds, with a visible tiny “pause” between page loads. Once I activated and turned the caching on in this plugin, and without making ANY configuration changes, the page loads are almost instantaneous, with no more visible lagging. I did not do any live testing on a really slow server yet, but if the results are similar to my Comet Cache Pro plugin, this plugin would speed up any site that normally would load under 2-3 seconds to almost no lag time… hence my 5 star rating. I don’t really need this plugin, but it’s REALLY nice to have an excellent replacement in case Comet Cache Pro goes away, or stops working for one reason or another… The only thing missing from this plugin that exists in the Comet Cache plugin (that I can see right away), is the ability to import/export the settings. In my case, because I don’t mess with too many of the settings, it’s not the end of the world. In the past I have played with other cache plugin, that one will need a doctorate degree and 2 weeks of playing around just to make it sort of work – not the case here… This is my honest review of the Rapid Cache plugin after using it for about 10 minutes or so !
