Really Simple Cache

A blazing-fast, lightweight, file-based cache plugin for WordPress designed to dramatically reduce page load times without complicated settings or bloated features.

🚀 Overview

Really Simple Cache creates static HTML files of your WordPress pages and serves them directly to visitors. This bypasses PHP and database queries — significantly improving performance, lowering CPU usage, and reducing TTFB.

No setup, no confusing options, no ads. Just enable and go.

✨ Features

• ⚡ Ultra-lightweight — minimal code, no fluff
• 📁 File-based caching (HTML output) for maximum compatibility
• 🔄 Automatic cache invalidation when content updates
• 🧠 Zero-configuration — activate and forget
• 📝 MIT License — use it commercially or modify freely
• 🏁 Designed for WordPress hosting environments that value speed

🔧 How It Works

• Works for users who are not logged in:
• On first page load, the plugin generates a static HTML version of the page
• Subsequent visits deliver that file directly from disk
• Cache is automatically cleared when you update posts/pages

No cron jobs, no external services, no configuration required.

📂 File Locations

Cached pages are stored inside:

/wp-content/cache/really-simple-cache/

Manually deleting this folder clears the cache instantly.
