Divi Speed Cache (Coming Soon)
The Divi cache plugin that makes your site load instantly.
Divi Speed Cache is a Divi cache plugin built specifically for Divi 5. It reads your Divi performance settings, respects Divi’s two-pass CSS handshake, and clears exactly the right pages when you make a change. Compression, preloading, CDN, Cloudflare and database cleanup are all built in, from one clean panel.
Overview & Features
If your Divi site feels slow on repeat visits, it’s because Divi rebuilds every page from scratch on every request. A cache plugin for Divi fixes that — and Divi Speed Cache does it in a way that actually understands the builder.
Divi 5 has no full-page cache of its own; it only caches CSS and JavaScript assets. Divi Speed Cache adds the layer Divi is missing: it serves a stored copy of each page in milliseconds, then rebuilds only what changes. Because it reads Divi’s own Critical CSS and Dynamic Assets settings, it never double-processes or fights your builder.
It’s a complete performance toolkit — page caching, a pre-WordPress drop-in, gzip and Brotli compression, browser-cache headers, background preloading, CDN and Cloudflare integration, database cleanup and a diagnostics dashboard — all from one panel inside your WordPress admin. No configuration files, no code to paste.
Divi-aware Page Cache
Full-page HTML caching that respects Divi’s DONOTCACHEPAGE handshake, so a page is only stored once Divi has finished generating its CSS. Fast pages that always render correctly.
Pre-WordPress Delivery
An optional advanced-cache.php drop-in serves cached pages before WordPress even loads — the fastest possible response, set up with a guided one-click stepper.
Smart Invalidation
Edit a page, a Theme Builder template or a Divi Library layout and only the affected pages are cleared and rebuilt. Your changes always show, without purging the whole site by hand.
Compression & Browser Caching
Gzip and Brotli pre-compression shrink each page, and Divi-aware cache headers tell browsers what to keep. Repeat visits load from cache, not the network.
Background Preloading
App-based 2FA (Google Authenticator, Authy, 1Password) with ten one-time backup codes. Users enrol themselves from a dedicated Users tab, and you can require it per role.
CDN & Cloudflare
Rewrite your asset URLs to any CDN and clear Cloudflare’s edge automatically whenever your cache purges, so visitors never see a stale page.
Database Cleanup
Records a baseline of your plugin and theme files and scans on a schedule, flagging anything that changed, was added, or removed. It reports — it never deletes your files.
Diagnostics Dashboard
See exactly what’s cached, spot conflicts, and check the health of your setup — with one-click links straight to the Divi and server settings that matter.
Mobile-aware Caching
Optionally store a separate cached copy for mobile visitors, so responsive layouts and mobile-specific markup are always served correctly.
Fine-grained Exclusions
Keep any page dynamic with a simple exclusion list that supports wildcards. Logged-in users, carts and checkouts are excluded automatically.
One-click Purge
Clear a single page or the entire cache straight from the WordPress admin bar, wherever you are on your site.
Object Cache Support
Detects Redis, Memcached or APCu, shows its status, and lets you flush it in a click alongside your page cache.
Installation
Download the plugin
After purchase, download the divi-speed-cache.zip file from your Elegant Themes Marketplace customer dashboard.
Upload to WordPress
In your WordPress admin, navigate to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin. Click Choose File, select the zip you downloaded, then click Install Now
Activate the plugin
Click Activate. Divi Speed Cache stays inert until you switch it on, so nothing changes on your site yet.
Open the settings panel
Go to DiviPerfect → Speed Cache, turn on Enable page cache, and click Save. Optionally enable the pre-WordPress drop-in, compression, preloading and CDN from their own tabs.
Why a Divi-native Cache
Most cache plugins treat Divi like any other theme — and that’s exactly where they go wrong. Divi generates its critical CSS late in the page load and asks caches not to store the page until it’s ready. Generic plugins ignore that signal and cache the half-built page, so visitors can see broken styling until the cache clears.
Divi Speed Cache is built around how Divi actually renders. It waits for Divi’s two-pass CSS handshake before it stores a page, reads your Divi performance settings so it never processes the same thing twice, and clears the right pages when a Theme Builder template or Library layout changes. The result is caching that speeds up your Divi site without ever fighting the builder.
How It Works
Three steps, all automatic once caching is switched on.
Store
On the first visit, Divi Speed Cache waits for Divi to finish rendering, then saves a complete copy of the page.
Serve
Every visit after that is served straight from cache — optionally before WordPress even loads — in a fraction of the time.
Refresh
When you edit a page or template, only the affected cache is cleared and rebuilt, so visitors always see your latest content.
What’s Included
Everything you need to speed up a Divi site, in one plugin:
1. Divi-aware full-page caching
2. Optional pre-WordPress delivery drop-in
3. Automatic, targeted cache clearing
4. Gzip & Brotli compression
7. CDN & Cloudflare integration
5. Browser-cache headers
8. Database cleanup & object-cache tools
6. Background preloading
9. Diagnostics & health checks
Settings Reference
Every setting lives under DiviPerfect → Speed Cache in your WordPress admin. Changes take effect on the frontend as soon as you click Save.
Page cache & Exclusions
Turn caching on, set how long pages stay cached (24 hours by default), optionally cache mobile separately, and exclude any URL that must stay dynamic — carts, dashboards, custom endpoints.
Pre-WordPress Drop-in
Serve pages before WordPress loads. A guided activation stepper installs advanced-cache.php and sets WP_CACHE for you, and removes them cleanly if you turn it off.
Optimization & Preload
Toggle gzip and Brotli compression and browser-cache headers on the Optimization tab, and background preloading on the Preload tab — each with sensible defaults.
CDN, Cloudflare & Diagnostics
Point your assets at a CDN and sync Cloudflare purges on the CDN tab, run database cleanup on the Database tab, and check your whole setup from the health checks on the Tools tab.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to the most common questions about the Divi Shield plugin.
Will this work with Divi 5?
Yes. Divi Speed Cache is built specifically for Divi 5’s rendering pipeline, and it also works with Divi 4. It honours Divi’s two-pass CSS generation so cached pages always render correctly.
Won’t it conflict with Divi’s own caching?
No. Divi 5 has no full-page cache — it only caches CSS and JavaScript assets. Divi Speed Cache adds the page-caching layer Divi is missing, and reads Divi’s performance settings so it never double-processes.
Does it work with WooCommerce?
Yes. Cart, checkout and account pages are automatically excluded, so dynamic and personalised content is never cached.
Will my edits show straight away?
Yes. Editing a page, Theme Builder template or Library layout automatically clears the affected pages, so visitors always see your latest changes.
What about logged-in users?
Logged-in users always get live, uncached pages by default, so you never see a stale version while you’re editing.
Do I need a CDN or Cloudflare?
No. Those are optional integrations. Divi Speed Cache speeds up your site on its own; connect a CDN or Cloudflare only if you already use one.
Do I need any technical knowledge?
No. Enable it and it works with sensible defaults. There are no config files and no code to paste.
Can I exclude certain pages from caching?
Yes. Add any URL — or a wildcard like /account/* — to the exclusion list and it will always be served live.
Does it work on unlimited sites?
Yes. One licence covers unlimited sites, so you can use it across every Divi project you build.
What happens if I deactivate it?
Everything is cleaned up: the cache is cleared, the drop-in and any managed configuration are removed, and your site serves normally again.
Does it store any personal data?
No. It only caches public pages for logged-out visitors; logged-in users and dynamic pages like carts are never cached.
Can I use it alongside another cache plugin?
You should run only one full-page cache at a time. The built-in diagnostics panel warns you if it detects a conflicting cache plugin.
