Cache Enabler is not compatible with Simply Static. Its core visitor-facing functionality requires live WordPress and cannot be made static-compatible by upgrading to Simply Static Pro or Static Studio.

### About this Plugin

Cache Enabler is a simple, yet powerful WordPress caching plugin that is easy to use, needs minimal configuration, and best of all helps improve site performance for a faster load time. It creates static HTML files of frontend pages and stores them on the server’s disk. This allows the static HTML files to be delivered instead of generating pages on the fly, avoiding resource intensive backend processes from the WordPress core, plugins, and database.

### 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.

### Frequently Asked Questions

Is Cache Enabler compatible with Simply Static?

No. Cache Enabler requires live, request-time WordPress functionality and cannot operate as a static site. Simply Static Pro and Static Studio do not change that compatibility verdict.

Can a paid Simply Static product make Cache Enabler compatible?

No. Neither Simply Static Pro nor Static Studio can turn Cache Enabler's session-based or request-time PHP functionality into a static-site feature. A separate headless or external service would be a different implementation.

Does Cache Enabler affect static build times?

Cache Enabler has approximately 100,000 active installs. Plugins with complex shortcodes or dynamic blocks may add minor overhead to the static generation pass.
