WP-Optimize Premium 3.3.0 Release

Purging single pages directly from the post or pages screen allows changes to be reflected in real time for visitors. It’s also more efficient, particularly for large websites where purging the entire cache can be resource intensive and time-consuming.

Preloading involves populating the cache with data even before it is requested.

With this new feature, performance of specific high-traffic pages can also be optimized by preloading them into the cache, reducing load time and giving users a smoother experience.

UI improvements and fixes to a bug which was causing the new WordPress Lightbox feature to function incorrectly with JavaScript minification enabled. This issue affected certain themes, and has now been resolved. URL slugs including non-Latin characters can also now be cached correctly.

The most recent update also includes a number of useful tweaks to enhance functionality and user experience, including better debugging and logging, and improvements to some cron job-related tasks.
