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. 😀

Available Hooks

Cache Buster is becoming more developer friendly. Below you can find the plugin’s first hooks and details about them.

slcb_allow_in_backend

• Filters whether Cache Buster should run (randomize asset version numbers) in the back end.
• Return true to enable Cache Buster. false is the default.

slcb_version_name

• Filters the version name for assets to allow using a custom version name (or number).
• Return the version name e.g. you can use the value 2.0.1.
• When this filter is in use, version numbers will not be randomized. Instead, you will have to change the version name manually to rename assets.
• This filter overrides the “Version Name” setting in the dashboard.
• The provided version name must be a valid query parameter. As a safety, if the provided string breaks any URLs, it will not be used.
