  • QWPlugins.com is reachable from your server
  • WordPress can make outbound HTTPS requests

If the problem continues, contact support.

Pro Update Is Not Appearing

Go to:

Dashboard → Updates

WordPress may take a short time to refresh update information.

Also verify that your Pro license is active.

Compatibility

QW Speed Cache is designed to work with modern WordPress environments.

Compatibility can depend on:

  • WordPress version
  • PHP version
  • Hosting configuration
  • Active theme
  • Other optimization plugins
  • WooCommerce
  • Page builders
  • CDN or proxy services

Avoid running multiple full-page caching plugins at the same time unless you know exactly how they interact.

Before Changing Performance Settings

We recommend:

  • Creating a recent website backup
  • Testing significant changes carefully
  • Changing one group of optimization settings at a time
  • Clearing cache after configuration changes
  • Checking both desktop and mobile pages

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need QW Speed Cache Pro?

No. QW Speed Cache Free provides core performance features.

Pro is intended for users who want additional advanced functionality and premium capabilities.

Can I use QW Speed Cache with WooCommerce?

Yes. QW Speed Cache includes WooCommerce-aware caching and protection features.

Can I use another cache plugin at the same time?

Generally, using two full-page caching systems simultaneously is not recommended.

Use one primary caching plugin unless you have a specific compatible configuration.

Will QW Speed Cache guarantee a specific PageSpeed score?

No.

Website performance depends on many factors including:

  • Hosting
  • Theme
  • Plugins
  • Images
  • Fonts
  • Third-party scripts
  • Database performance
  • Network conditions

QW Speed Cache provides tools to improve performance, but no plugin can guarantee a specific score for every website.
