What it does
General caching plugins treat every WordPress site the same way, which can be awkward for sites built with a page builder theme like Divi. This plugin was created by Divi users with Divi's page structure in mind. Its server-side caching is designed to understand how Divi pages are put together, so pages can be stored and served from cache without you giving up the layouts and design options you built in the theme.
Beyond page caching, the plugin covers several common optimization tasks in one place. It can delay loading Divi sections until they are needed, tell visitors' browsers to keep copies of HTML, CSS, JavaScript and image files, compress files with GZip before they are sent, and clear unnecessary data out of the WordPress database. It also handles image compression and CSS and JavaScript minification, and it includes an option to defer video loading. The interface follows Divi's look, so settings feel familiar to anyone who already works in the theme.
Best for
- Website owners whose sites are built on the Divi theme
- Freelancers and agencies maintaining multiple Divi client sites
- Divi users wanting caching without a generic optimization plugin
Features
Divi-aware server-side caching
Caches pages on the server using an approach built around Divi's structure, storing and serving pages in a way that suits how Divi layouts are assembled.
Section controlled lazy loading
Delays loading individual Divi sections until they are needed, so the first part of a page can appear before content further down is loaded.
Browser caching
Stores site files such as HTML, JavaScript, CSS and images in visitors' browsers, so repeat visits do not need to fetch the same files again.
GZip compression
Compresses website files before they are sent to the browser, reducing the amount of data transferred for each page request.
Database optimization
Cleans unnecessary data out of the WordPress database to keep it lean and tidy as your site grows over time.
File minification and image compression
Minimizes CSS and JavaScript files and compresses images, trimming the size of the assets your Divi pages load.
Deferred video loading
Includes an option to defer video loading, which holds back embedded video until later in the page load.
Divi-style settings interface
Presents caching and optimization settings in a clean interface modeled on the Divi theme, making configuration approachable for beginners and experienced users alike.
