### About this Plugin

W3 Total Cache recommends clearing your cache after a (plugin) update to prevent cache conflicts, but it does not do this for you. It shows a banner with a ‘clear cache’ button, and you have to click it yourself. That does not help when your updates run automatically, or from a tool like ManageWP, MainWP or Installatron.

### Static WordPress Challenge

This plugin depends on live, request-time WordPress/PHP functionality such as sessions, authenticated visitors, or dynamic endpoints. Its core visitor-facing features do not work on a static WordPress site. Neither Simply Static Pro nor Static Studio changes that compatibility verdict. Use a separate hosted, headless, or external service if the plugin's use case offers one.
