Mesi Cache converts your WordPress site into a fully static HTML version served\ndirectly by Apache. Once a page is cached, it is delivered instantly without\nexecuting PHP or querying MySQL.<\/p>\n\n

This design removes the need for PHP-FPM and database access on every visit,\nreducing server load to almost zero. The result is a pure static experience with\ninstant page delivery and total control over your server resources.<\/p>\n\n

Mesi Cache is minimalist, open, and transparent. It integrates cleanly with\n .htaccess, uses no cron jobs, and requires no external services.<\/p>\n\n

What it does<\/strong>\n* Creates static HTML files of posts, pages, categories and authors.\n* Serves files directly from disk, bypassing PHP and MySQL completely.\n* Invalidates relevant cache files when new content is published.\n* Allows manual cache generation and cleaning from the admin panel.\n* Works in root and subdirectory installations.\n* 100% local \u2014 no APIs, no remote calls, no external dependencies.<\/p>\n\n

What it does not do<\/strong>\n* No CSS or JS minification.\n* No CDN integration (can be added manually).\n* No object or fragment caching.\n* No user\/session-aware pages or dynamic content.\n* Does not serve cached content to logged-in users.<\/p>\n\n

Mesi Cache focuses purely on static HTML delivery for public visitors.
\nWhen cached, pages are served as plain files \u2014 no PHP or database code executes.<\/p>\n\n

The plugin code is open, commented, and easy to extend.
\nDevelopers can add features like preloading or CDN hooks using ChatGPT, Gemini,\nor manual edits.<\/p>\n\n
