Beskrywing
An early, focused release of a local WordPress page cache. Test the setup and your website workflows before enabling it on a production site.
Stores eligible anonymous HTML locally. Cookies, query parameters, unverified forms, nonces and private responses remain dynamic. English/German interface. No account or service required. A verified public GET search-form profile can be cached; search results remain dynamic. No CSS/JS/HTML transformations.
Local caching and compatibility features are free. Optional services with ongoing operating costs may be considered later; none is included or required.
Cache storage must be writable and outside the document root. Another cache owner’s drop-in is never replaced. Multisite and automatic proxy trust are not supported. A limited AdSimple Magazine/Aktivbau Child/AdSimple Client profile has passed isolated tests. Initial isolated profiles with Twenty Twenty-Five 1.5, Astra 4.14.0 and GeneratePress 3.6.1 have also passed cache/content-update checks. Other combinations, premium theme add-ons, consent, commerce, membership and multilingual modes require separate acceptance. Detected WPML, Polylang and TranslatePress are disabled until their adapters are verified.
Screenshots
Installation
- Back up affected configuration and identify existing page-cache ownership.
- Install in an isolated WordPress test environment first, keeping the standard ostheimer-performance plugin directory name.
- Set WP_CACHE to true and OSTHEIMER_PERFORMANCE_CACHE_DIR to a writable private directory outside the document root.
- Open Settings > Ostheimer Performance and enable caching.
- Verify MISS/HIT, visitor isolation and content invalidation before a pilot.
Kwel-vrae
-
Does this replace every WP Rocket feature?
-
No. This version provides anonymous HTML page caching. It does not include asset optimization, image processing, CDN configuration or cache preloading.
-
Which requests stay dynamic?
-
Requests with cookies, query parameters or authentication; editor previews; REST, feeds and sitemaps; private responses; unverified forms and nonce-bearing pages. This conservative policy can reduce the cache hit rate on sites using visitor cookies.
-
Does it require an account or send data to a service?
-
No account is required. The cache stores eligible public HTML on the site’s server and does not call an external service, collect visitor analytics or set cookies.
-
Where are cache files stored?
-
In a writable private directory outside the real web document root, configured using OSTHEIMER_PERFORMANCE_CACHE_DIR. Check the host’s cleanup/retention policy before using temporary storage. If storage is unavailable, ordinary WordPress rendering continues; inspect setup status before re-enabling a recovered directory.
-
Can another cache run alongside it?
-
Use one owner for the page cache. This version refuses foreign advanced-cache.php files and detected competing page caches. It does not replace an object-cache.php drop-in or flush a Redis database.
-
What does deactivation or uninstall remove?
-
Deactivation disables caching and removes the verified owned reader. Uninstall additionally removes the plugin’s options and verified owned cache files; unrelated files and directories are preserved. WP_CACHE and the private-directory constant in wp-config.php are not automatically changed.
-
Is this suitable for every website?
-
No. Version 0.1.1 is a small initial release with conservative exclusions. It needs a private writable cache directory and manual configuration. Shops, forms, membership, consent and multilingual modes require separate acceptance; detected unsupported language modes keep the engine disabled. A site pilot is not a general compatibility guarantee.
-
Where can I get help?
-
Product and agency information: https://www.ostheimer.at/ . Include WordPress/PHP versions, the active theme and plugins, setup status and the X-Ostheimer-Cache header when reporting an issue. Do not post credentials, private cached files or personal data.
