Description
Simple Cache was constructed after getting frustrated with the major caching plugins available and building sites with developer-only complex caching solutions that get millions of page views per day. Simple Cache promises the following:
- Extremely simple one-click install. There is an on-off switch. That’s it. No need to wade through 50 complicated settings.
- Simple Cache makes your site run very fast so you can handle lots of traffic.
- Extremely easy to delete. Don’t like the plugin? You can remove it, and your website won’t break.
- Easily clear the cache if you need to.
- Enable gzip compression
- Want to get advanced with object caching (Memached or Redis)? An advanced mode is available that will automatically setup Batcache and Memcached/Redis for you.
If you need your site to run fast, don’t have time to mess with complicated settings, and have been frustrated by other caching plugins, give Simple Cache a try.
Pull requests are welcome on Github.

I've tested many caching plugins and every single one pissed me off. One plugin had to many options to configure, another plugin broke my site, another more needed to buy premium version and pay... I just wanted simple cache, and that's all. So I installed "Simple Cache" as the name says and it works perfectly! We have only few most important options and zero redundant shit π
I already built many sites with this plugin and I've never had any problem. Only when you use WooCommerce remember to put cart page URL to "Exception URL(s)" area so plugin will not cache products in the cart.

After install and activating on a fresh WordPress installation, totally broke my site and made it unreachable, even the admin section:
Error 503 Backend fetch failed
Backend fetch failed
Now I have to uninstall it via FTP to make my site recover.

After I activate the plugin, the following message prompt out, I have tried to use "Auto" or even Manual to add the code but the error message still there, and the plugin not function until the message being fix. I am using wordpress 5.0.4, php 7, so don't waste your time to try this plugin.
Simple Cache has encountered the following error(s):
define( "WP_CACHE", true ); is not in wp-config.php. Either click "Attempt Fix" or add the code manually.
