Must Have Plugin

By CleanCode (mojtabalife) on August 5, 2025

A plugin that you must install. I can't build a site without installing this plugin. I hope it gets updated regularly and supports newer versions of WordPress. I love you Albert Peschar.

Should be in wordpress by default

This plugin is awesome. Solved my problem of css version in a flash. It should be by default in wordpress installation.

Works well

Seems to work well as intended!

Extremely Useful

This logic of adding a hash based on last edited date is pure genius and keeps our clients from seeing broken sites.

Seriously useful plugin

By Jesse Sugden (jeswd) on October 19, 2021

Amazing that it only has 100+ installs. Life was so much harder when I had to tell clients to clear their browser cache all the time, and users had a bad experience until their browser cache was refreshed. This plugin completely removes those hassles. Thanks a lot.

Deserves More Attention

This plugin has been amazing. Gone are the days where I have to tell the client "if something doesn't look right then try refreshing the page, clearing the cache or using an incognito tab".
