Caching Plugin Test Results

Following from a previous post, I have done some testing of Divi with some popular caching plugins to determine which ones work* with Divi and which ones don’t. Results are below.

*Works simply means it doesn’t cache the first page load. This is critical due to the implementation of Divi’s dynamic optimisation features. It does not mean all optimisation features are compatible and is not a comment on how well other features work with Divi. Only that the caching plugin will not cache the first page load.

NB out of the 13 tested, 6 don’t work with Divi and technically 1 isnt a caching plugin so that’s a 50% failure rate (or succees rate if your a glass half full kinda person).

DO NOT WORK – Cache first page load

• Cachify
• Hypercache
• Simplecache
• WP Fastest Cache
• LS Cache (solution provided in another post)
• Swift Performance Lite

DO WORK

• Comet Cache
• Hummingbird
• W3 Total Cache
• WP Super Cache
• Cache Enabler
• WP Optimize
• WP Rocket

Also worth mentioning

• Autoptimise

Works, however it doesn’t cache HTML anyway so would not expect any issues. This is strictly speaking an optimisation plugin, not a caching plugin.
