FAQ
-
Does SpeedOx really cache pages?
-
Yes. It stores complete HTML files under
wp-content/cache/speedox/and serves them on later visits when caching rules allow (guest users, GET requests, non-excluded URLs). -
Will it work with WooCommerce?
-
Yes. Cart, checkout and account pages are excluded. Cache can be purged when cart contents change.
-
Do I need coding skills?
-
No. Use the SpeedOx dashboard toggles and save. Defaults are chosen to be safe for most sites.
-
Is it compatible with my theme or page builder?
-
SpeedOx works with most WordPress themes and builders. Always test on a staging site first if you use heavy custom setups.
-
How do I clear the cache?
-
Use Purge All Cache in the SpeedOx dashboard, or the admin bar link. Cache is also cleared automatically when you update posts or change themes/plugins.
-
Does SpeedOx slow down the admin area?
-
No. Page caching runs on the front-end for guests. Logged-in users are not served from the page cache.
-
Can I use it together with a CDN?
-
Yes. SpeedOx can work alongside a CDN. Enable browser cache and (if needed) basic CDN URL support from the Advanced tab.
-
Where can I get support?
-
Use the WordPress.org support forum or email support@mohsinwebs.com.pk.
