Description

Super Page Cache is a powerful full page cache plugin for WordPress that caches static files (CSS, JS, images) and HTML webpages at both server disk-level and the global Cloudflare CDN. Get enterprise-level performance with zero configuration required.

Works right out of the box with or without Cloudflare. Powerful disk caching saves files locally on your server. To use Cloudflare CDN, just enter your API Key or Token. The intuitive dashboard includes detailed settings and built-in documentation, though most users won’t need to change the defaults.

How is this plugin different from Cloudflare APO?

Cloudflare APO uses Workers & KV Storage to push cache to all edges instantly. It costs $5/month for free accounts (free for paid accounts).

Our plugin enables FREE account users to leverage Cloudflare’s Cache Rules with more features, functionality, and third-party plugin integration than APO offers. Read a detailed comparison.

How do I know if everything is working properly?

Check HTTP response headers in Incognito mode:

  • x-wp-cf-super-cache: cache = active, no-cache = disabled for this page
  • x-wp-cf-super-cache-active: 1 = page placed in Cloudflare cache
  • cf-cache-status: HIT = served from cache, MISS = refresh page, BYPASS = excluded, EXPIRED = cache expired

Do you allow to bypass the cache for logged in users even on free plan?

Yes. This is the main purpose of this plugin.

What is the swcfpc query variable I see on every internal link when I’m logged in?

It is a cache buster. Allows you, while logged in, to bypass the Cloudflare cache for pages that could be cached.

Do you automatically clean up the cache on website changes?

Yes, you can enable this option from the settings page.

Can I restore all Cloudflare settings as before the plugin activation?

Yes, there is a reset button.

What happens if I delete the plugin?

Disable the plugin first to restore Cloudflare settings, then delete. The plugin removes all stored data to keep your WordPress installation clean.

What happens to the browser caching settings on Cloudflare?

You will not be able to use them anymore. However, there is an option to enable browser caching rules.

Does it work with multisite?

Yes but it must be installed separately for each website in the network as each site requires an ad-hoc configuration and may also be part of different Cloudflare accounts.

Can I use this plugin together with other performance plugins such as Autoptimize, WP Rocket or W3 Total Cache?

Yes, you can. Read the FAQ section in the plugin settings page for further information

I have more questions or something is not working, what can I do?

Check the FAQ tab in plugin settings first. If needed, enable log mode and send us the log file with steps to reproduce. Ensure you’re using the latest version.

Muito bom

Foi o plugin que resolveu a velocidade do meu site. Não funciona bem se tiver cloudflare com css configurado pra arquivo externo, mas depois que mudei para incorporação interna resolveu.

Easily the Best Out There For Speed If Well Configured

By Dr. Melvin Temo (temovision) on January 6, 2026

It has taken me 2 weeks before coming here to make this review. This plugin is truly a game-changer for those on budget shared hosting (currently on Hostinger business shared). The only hurdle I encountered was trying to get all my cache and performance plugins to work together while making sure to disable all their overlapping functions which are shared with Super Page Cache.

Easily getting TTFB of 40ms and LCP below 500ms down from 1.5s. Incredible!

Please keep the good work. Greetings from Cameroon.

Five stars for an A rating every time

By lawnmowing101 on January 5, 2026

I have been using the free Cloudflare CDN with this plugin, and it is fantastic.
My average loading time for over 40 websites on GTmetrix is around a second.
I try to keep my number of plugins under ten, but this one is on all my sites.

Wow!

By LN-CWM on December 23, 2025

Works seamlessly with Cloudflare and really speeding things up. Simple to use. Nice!

A good, powerful plugin

By AlexKar on December 12, 2025

A good, powerful plugin. The only downside is that for Nginx servers, it requires making configuration changes and then restarting the server. Still, I give it 5 stars.

Functionality is great, but advertises in dashboard

By mattinventive on November 28, 2025

Site's I have used this on, the speed is great, but I cannot stand plugins hijacking the dashboard with advertisements to buy product.

I don't have a problem with plugins using their own option pages for advertisements, but displaying ads on the main dashboard overview feels really intrusive.

Excellent lightweight plugin!

By cguinn on November 12, 2025

Excellent lightweight plugin! My site scripts load much faster now, and I love the option to defer non-critical JS. It's simple, effective, and doesn't break anything.

Good app
