Super Light Cache Buster

Can't see the changes supposedly made by your developer? Or maybe you're just tired of your site's annoying cache? Use this plugin to cache a break! With a compressed size of under 30KB, this simple plugin adds random version numbers to CSS & JS assets to prevent browser caching getting in the way of your happiness. Super Light Cache Buster also prevents page caching by using Cache-Control directives. You can completely disable the plugin from the settings page when you are not using it or keep it enabled if the site is under development. 😀
