New Features
- Added full WordPress Multisite support, allowing network administrators to manage page caching across all sites with separate caches and settings.
- Added centralized network cache management for mobile caching, logged-in user caching, cache lifetime, browser caching, and automatic preloading.
- Added per-site cache statistics, including cached page counts and cache size, with individual Clear & Preload, Preload, and Purge Cache actions featuring live progress tracking.
- Enabled non-blocking Google Fonts by default using
font-display: swap or fallback.
Improved
- Improved multisite file management so only network administrators can manage shared files such as
wp-config.php, advanced-cache.php, and .htaccess.
- Improved Jetpack Site Accelerator compatibility by minifying and combining WordPress core styles served through
c0.wp.com.
- Improved chat widget performance by delaying OpenWidget, Zendesk, Drift, Freshchat/Freshworks, JivoChat, Smartsupp, and Small Chat until visitor interaction.
- Improved preload summaries by including the homepage and counting each unique URL only once.
- Improved cache consistency by automatically invalidating pages generated under previous cache rules when settings or exclusions change.
- Updated the readme changelog to focus on recent releases while preserving the complete release history in
changelog.txt.
Fixed
- Fixed legacy Google Fonts weight formats, such as
Open Sans:400,700, failing to load correctly.
- Fixed multisite caching settings affecting other sites in the network.
- Fixed subdomain multisite caching so each site receives its own cache.
- Fixed individual site administrators being able to modify shared configuration files.
- Fixed site-level cache deactivation removing the entire network’s cache.
- Fixed multisite uninstall cleanup processing only the main site instead of every site.
- Fixed incorrect cached-page counts on sites using plain permalinks, such as
?page_id=5.
