Fast, easy to use cache for WordPress with option for 3 separate CDN's. Optimize Database.

== Description ==
<font color="blue"><strong>Fast, easy to use cache</strong></font> for WordPress with option for up-to 3 separate CDN's - for js, css & images from 3 providers.<br>
Added the ability to set and forget <strong>Database clean-ups</strong> on a scheduled timescale including removing revisions, clean-up transients, remove comment spam. Generally help keep the Database lean and tidy.

Built in support for <a href="https://gridpane.com/">GridPane</a> based WordPress Installations with more functionality coming soon.

Added Automatic CDN support, Free for now, just enable in settings and your site will be automatically added to the grid.

We have many features planned and have an active development cycle which will be user focused based on feedback.

For extra performance we recommend <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-disable/">Featherweight</a>, our request cleanup plugin for reducing front-end weight and removing unused WordPress output.

<strong>Coming Soon</strong> – Dedicated WooCommerce caching for optimized e-commerce performance.

For hands-on performance work, see <a href="https://foliumstudio.co.uk">Folium Studio</a>.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= What about Minification, do I still need it? =

Yes, you absolutely do, and none come close to the awesome <a href="https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/autoptimize/">Autoptimize</a> by Frank Goossens.

= I would like to contribute/I have an idea =

Please send us any <a href="https://foliumstudio.co.uk">Feedback</a> if you would like to contribute or have any ideas to add.

= Do I need to use a CDN ? =

No, you do not need to use one, but if you do, we have made it really simple to add on your CDN of choice.  We offer 3 routes for CDN, so you can effectively run 3 CDN's one for JS, CSS & images.<br>
Bare in mind, if you choose to use a CDN, your files will be uploaded and stored on the CDN of choice, please consult their privacy policies.
