 * Hello,
 * We are currently using this plugin to minify and specify browser cache and it’s
   working fantastically.
 * However, we would like to cache only the homepage. Is this possible?
 * Thanks!

 * Well normally it’s done the other way around, people don’t want the homepage 
   cache, rather just the rest. There’s an option available for that. However, in
   your case…
 * Depending on how large your website is, you could simply tell it what pages or
   URL folder structures not to cache?
 * Under the Page Cache options, there’s a ‘Never cache the following pages’ in 
   which you could throw all the pages you don’t want cached.
 * For example (you can use the .* for all), normally it would be just selected 
   areas:
 *     ```
       /checkout/.*
       /cart/.*
       /order/.*
       /members/.*
       ```

 * In the page cache settings you have the option to cache posts make sure to uncheck
   that option and then it should be fine.
