Anti-Cache Emergency Kit

Yes, but with important caveats:

• Only administrators are affected by the anti-cache measures
• Regular visitors continue to see the cached site normally
• Use maintenance mode to hide development from visitors
• Always deactivate when finished developing
• Never leave active long-term on production sites

The plugin supports all major WordPress cache plugins including WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, WP Super Cache, LiteSpeed Cache, SiteGround Optimizer, WP Optimize, Hummingbird, Breeze, Autoptimize, Cache Enabler, Surge, Redis Object Cache, and many more. See the full list in the description.

Cache plugins are temporarily deactivated for development purposes only. This is necessary to prevent cache interference while you're making changes to your site. The plugin:

• Only deactivates cache plugins that were active when Anti-Cache Kit was activated
• Keeps a record of which plugins were deactivated
• Provides easy one-click reactivation via Tools > Anti-Cache Kit
• Allows manual reactivation from the standard WordPress Plugins page
• Does not delete or modify cache plugin files or settings

Yes! The plugin also clears hosting-specific caches from providers like SiteGround, and integrates with Cloudflare when their plugin is active. It also clears object caches (Redis, Memcached) and OPcache.

Yes, developers can use the ayudawp_anticache_maintenance_data filter to customize the maintenance page appearance, messaging, colors, and content.

Only for administrator users while the plugin is active. Regular visitors are unaffected (unless maintenance mode is enabled). The plugin is designed for temporary development use only.
