Installation

Speedy Cache requires Craft CMS 5.6 or later and PHP 8.2 or later.

From the Plugin Store

In the control panel, go to Plugin Store, search for Speedy Cache and click Install.

With Composer

composer require suprim/speedy
php craft plugin/install speedy

Check it’s working

Pages are cached from the next visit by someone who isn’t logged in. Open a page in a private window, or use curl, and look at the X-Speedy header:

curl -sI https://example.com/ | grep -i x-speedy
# x-speedy: MISS   ← built by Craft and saved
curl -sI https://example.com/ | grep -i x-speedy
# x-speedy: HIT    ← sent from Speedy’s copy

X-Speedy	Meaning
MISS	Craft built the page, and Speedy saved it
HIT	Sent from Speedy’s copy, by PHP
STATIC	Sent from Speedy’s copy by the web server, without PHP (server rules)
WARM	Rebuilt by Speedy in the background
SKIP …	Not cached, and why, such as SKIP logged in (What isn’t cached)

Logged in to the control panel? You’ll always see SKIP logged in, as logged-in visitors are never cached.

Make it faster

1. Serve pages without PHP. Add the rules for Nginx or Apache. This is the biggest speed-up.
2. Connect your CDN, if your site is behind Cloudflare or CloudFront.
3. Set up a cron job for scheduled content, so posts set to go live at 9am appear at 9am.

Turn it off on dev

Caching usually gets in the way while building templates. Turn it off per environment in config/speedy.php:

<?php

use craft\helpers\App;

return [
    'enabled' => App::env('CRAFT_ENVIRONMENT') === 'production',
];
