    After 3 months of testing the plugin, I had to remove Sephranite Accelerator. Here’s why, yes the page speed was good, however it produced other stale content, some which are extremely damaging.

    Sitemap remains stale on every new content addition, meaning new content were not properly indexed. The plugin started causing broken links to be produced due to content being stale.

    There’s no proper clearing of cache data and cache data across pages or related pages. For non-technical teams, the plugin is not great as many wouldn’t even know wher to go to clear cache data.

    As soon as the plugin was removed, SEO started lifting instantly.

    For anyone wondering what the test server setup is, it’s 16-core 48gb ram running in a docker enviromen with redis, so it’s already insane in terms of capacity. This was also tested in a shared cpanel enviroment. Both running on external cron with all endpoints suggested to be routinely called.

    As for the plugin running with WooCommerce, I would avoid at all cost.
