FlexiCache is a flexible caching plugin for Wordpress and Wordpress MU, implementing Memcache, Filesystem and SQLite storage.

== Description ==

FlexiCache is a flexible caching system designed for sites which require more complex caching rules - expiring different pages at different times, not caching some pages at all, caching multiple served versions of the same page depending on browser, language, and so on.

FlexiCache will also work straight out of the box without the need for configuration and improve the performance of any Wordpress site.

= Features =

* Extensively configurable using user-defined conditions
* Choice of storage engines: Filesystem, Memcache and SQLite
* Standalone mode which bypasses Wordpress and third-party theme and plugin code to serve cached pages faster
* Pre-caching functionality to cache new versions of pages before the existing ones expire
* Automatic removal of expired items
* Serves files in compressed formats accepted by the requesting client
* Sends appropriate HTTP cache headers to the requesting client

== Installation ==

1. Copy the flexicache plugin directory into your Wordpress "plugins" directory (the new directory should be called "wp-content/plugins/flexicache")
2. If you intend to run the plugin in Standalone mode, check that [mod_rewrite](http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.1/mod/mod_rewrite.html) is enabled in Apache.
3. If you intend to use the Memcache storage engine, you will need a [Memcached server](http://memcached.org/) and [PHP's Memcache extension](http://php.net/manual/en/book.memcache.php).
4. In your Wordpress admin area, visit the "Plugins" page and activate FlexiCache.  FlexiCache will not start caching until it is enabled in its own config.
5. Click on the "Configuration & Status" link (or go to Settings | FlexiCache) and read the Documentation section.
6. Configure and enable FlexiCache.

== Deactivating FlexiCache ==

FlexiCache can be disabled via the admin interface as with any plugin, however if you are running in Standalone mode, you should remove the .htaccess modifications before deactivating the plugin.

For a normal Wordpress install, this modification can be done via the admin interface, however it is recommended that you make this change manually.

Please see the documentation supplied with the plugin for more information.

That is beyond the scope of a caching plugin.
