This plugin, created by LWS help to automatically manage your LWSCache purge when you edit your pages, post, messages…

It provide a way to purge all your LWSCache.

This plugin works only on servers using the LWSCache system. This cache is pre-installed with Classic shared web hosting, WordPress hosting and soon cPanel hosting from LWS.

The loading speed of your site is crucial to its success. The more visitors your site has, the more RAM and CPU memory the system uses. The page is loaded slowly. So you need a cache system to avoid reloading the page when it is not necessary.

In addition, the site’s page load speed is used in Google’s ranking algorithm. So caching plugins that can improve load times will improve your SEO ranking. Low rankings, and therefore insufficient exposure, often do not allow you to make a living from your website. The loading time of most websites is less than three seconds. Beyond that, many users have already left the page.

The LWS Cache tool is a system designed and developed by LWS. It optimize the loading performance of your website through the use of advanced caching mechanisms, configured at the server level. The tool uses the technologies provided by NGINX.

Functioning

When LWS Cache is enabled, a cache server is introduced between the visitor and the web server.
\nThe aim is to reduce the number of script executions required. For that it keeps the result of the execution in memory for future requests requiring the same response. This means that the same script is no longer executed several times to achieve the same result.

Thus, we eliminate the waiting time of the script execution on the page loading time. At the same time, we save the resources used during the script execution.

The visitor requests the page from the web server. Example: index.php. LWS Cache checks if the page has already been generated and stored in the cache

If yes, the page is returned directly to the visitor without the need to access the web service and without executing the script

If not, the page is requested to be generated on the web service as a result of the script execution (PHP, NodeJS, Perl, Ruby, …).

Once the page is generated, LWS Cache determines if the page can be cached (via headers, URL, …)

If yes, the page is saved in the cache and returned to the visitor

If not, the page is saved in the microcache (short-lived cache) and returned to the visitor

Managing LWS Cache with the plugin

The WordPress LWS Cache plugin allows you to automatically purge the cache of your pages when you modify them or when you add/approve comments.

To manage the plugin, once connected to your WordPress administration console, go to the “Settings” menu and then “LWS Cache”.

From the settings page, you can enable/disable automatic emptying. You can define when to automatically empty the LWS Cache and completely purge the cache.

Lightweight Loading Bar

Add a YouTube-style loading bar to your website easily! Extremely lightweight plugin that only adds 810 bytes to your page size. It also does not add anything to your database. Change color, height, and all options of the loading bar a configuration file easily. This style of preloader has a much more minimalist design and is not annoying at all compared to other full screen designs. Because most mobile browsers already have a built in loading bar, we allow you to disable it on devices smaller than 600px by default. This plugin has been tested with WP Rocket and should be fully compatible with other cache plugins as well. Please post bug reports, issues, and feature requests on WordPress.org Support Forums and I will respond ASAP! If you liked the plugin please rate it!

Features

Tested and fully compatible with caching plugins like WP Rocket
Easy to use and simple customization.
Customize loading bar color and height.
Option to use gradient.
Option to show loading bar on your login page.
Set the position of the bar to either top or bottom.
Responsive and Retina ready.
Option to hide on mobile devices.
Extremely small footprint at only 810 bytes.
Does not add any values to your database.
Adds code to the footer to prevent render blocking JS/CSS issues.

NOTE

Go to /wp-content/plugins/lightweight-loading-bar/config.php for instructions on how to customize the loading bar.

Coming Soon… A Settings Page!

This plugin will not be quite as lightweight, but we will be adding a full fledged GUI to the WordPress Admin! The reason it will be a bit slower is because the current setup allows the plugin to get the options directly from the filesystem, whereas if we have a settings page we will store them in a database which takes time to query. If you like this version of the plugin check out the GitHub page where we will respond to issues. If interest in the LITE version continues, we will make a fork and maintain/improve the plugin.

\n","installation":"
