Go back to your wordpress window and paste the API key into the ‘Peakhour API key’ field 6. enter your domain name (do not enter www or http:// etc) 7. Click on ‘Save Changes’ at the bottom of the page 8. Click on the ‘Test connection’ button that will now appear in the ‘Connection Settings’ section #### Back in the Peakhour admin, configure cache settings 1. Click on ‘Domains’ in the left menu 2. Now click on the ‘Manage’ button on the right of your domain 3. In the left navigation find CDN -> Settings and click 4.

Towards the bottom of the page find the ‘Tag Header Name’ setting and enter ‘X- Cache-Tags’ 7. Next look at the ‘Tag Separator’ setting and select ‘comma’ 8. Save the settings. #### Configure Caching rules If wordpress is not sending cache control headers, this plugin won’t, then caching rules need to be set up. The following are for a standard wordpress information site. If you have additional functionality, eg woocommerce, then additional configuration will be required. 1. Continuing on from the configure cache settings section and find EDGE -> Rules in the left menu 2. As a safeguard add in three no caching rules. 2.1 Enter ‘php’ as the rule name,‘ ends_with(http.request.uri.path, “.php”)’ as the filter, add the setting ‘CDN Status’ and select disabled. Save 2.2 Enter ‘wp-admin’ as the rule name, ‘http.request. uri.path eq “/wp-admin/”‘ as the filter, add the setting ‘CDN Status’ and select disabled. Save 3. Add in the general caching rule. Enter ‘general page caching’ as the rule name,‘ ends_with(http.request.uri.path, “/”)’ as the filter, then add: CDN Status = enabled Strip Outgoing Cookies = enabled Strip Cookies from response = enabled Ignore Cache Headers = enabled Require Cache-Control for caching = disabled Browser TTL = don’t cache CDN TTL = 30 days 4. Save You can of course make the CDN TTL longer or shorter as required. ## FAQ ### Do I need a Peakhour account? Yes you will need to sign up for the Peakhour service at https://www.peakhour.io/ app/signup/, all new domains get a free trial ### Do I need to do anything else? The service will work out of the box but you will probably want to start caching full pages by setting up page rules, see our https://www.peakhour.io/support/page- rules/ guide to get started. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b43e6df2fcf839e59d598beef9e175f6fc1f5bc6465d26305e3b865f2b91830c? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Plug and play](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plug-and-play-28/)󠁿 [retrovertigo](https://profiles.wordpress.org/retrovertigo/) June 19, 2023 Great and simple to use plugin. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/5b6a352fa0baf8fcdf61546c583a2a86d31513ef8984ea01d948675403aa0687? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Outstanding Plugin and Support](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/outstanding-plugin-and-support-19/)󠁿 [Jisan Polara](https://profiles.wordpress.org/jpolara/) April 26, 2019 This plugin works perfectly for me.
