This plugin will make WP Rocket serve the guest cache to everyone, even logged-in users. Requires the Common Cache For Logged-in Users and No Cache for Admins helpers to function properly.
- A helper plugin for WP-Rocket, thus requiring WP-Rocket
- A plugin that serves cache files generated for 'guests' to logged-in users
- Requires two helper plugins developed by WP-Rocket (@see installation)
- ☝️ Test before use! This helper is for a very specific use case. Please read the 'Why?' section before using it!
- Have WP-Rocket installed and user cache enabled
- Install and activate the Common Cache For Logged-in Users helper from here
- Install and activate the No Cache for Admins helper from here
- Install and activate this plugin
- Manually delete the
/wp-content/advanced-cache.phpfile from the server and visit the WP-Rocket settings page to generate a new one.
The new advanced-cache.php file should contain the SdkGuestCache class. If it doesn't, make sure you've followed the installation instructions correctly.
Some websites allow users to be logged-in, but do not display specific information for logged-in users. Pages that do can be whitelisted in WP-Rocket, like the cart and checkout pages of WooCommerce. This means the cache files generated for 'guests' can be served to logged-in users, as user specific information is not shown on any of those pages.
The user cache option in WP-Rocket allows generating and serving cache files to logged-in users, but it will create separate cache files for each user.
The Common Cache For Logged-in Users helper allows to serve a single user cache to all logged-in users. Unfortunately, this still creates separate caches for guest users and logged-in users. And more importantly: it does not work with the preload functionality.
This plugin solves that issue by serving the guest cache to all logged-in users. This means the cache can be preloaded and served to logged-in users.
The No Cache for Admins helper is required to make sure no admin bars are shown on cached pages.
