Beky Cache Pilot

Description

Beky Cache Pilot is built for compatibility first: Safe Mode is enabled by default, builder detection runs before caching, and each module can be enabled independently — so you get Core Web Vitals gains without breaking editors, dynamic widgets, or checkout flows.

Works on any hosting. No server lock-in. No aggressive defaults.

What’s new

• Elementor pages with static dynamic tags are now cached — Buttons and links using Elementor’s “Internal URL” (and other tags that are the same for every visitor, such as site and post titles, URLs, and the site logo) no longer force a page to skip the cache. Tags that change per visitor or over time still bypass it.
• Full page cache works on more themes — Pages on block themes and lightweight classic themes are now cached, not only page-builder pages.
• Optimization Intelligence — Measure real LCP, CLS, INP, FCP, and TTFB and apply one-click, reversible fixes for layout shifts and slow LCP.
• Static asset cache — Optionally serve CSS, JavaScript, fonts, and images from a local cache with long-lived browser cache headers.
• Lighter pages — The theme stylesheet is no longer downloaded twice, and no broken Google Fonts request is added to sites that don’t use Google Fonts.

Why Beky Cache Pilot?

• Builder-safe full page cache — Detects Elementor, Divi, Bricks, Beaver Builder, and WP Bakery. Scans Elementor pages for real dynamic triggers (menus, carts, forms) and only bypasses cache when needed. Static builder pages can be cached when safe.
• Safe Mode on by default — Conservative optimizations until you explicitly opt in.
• WooCommerce that actually works — Automatic bypass on cart, checkout, account, and dynamic product queries. Personalized cart markup is stripped from stored HTML. Shop assets load only where needed.
• Smart conditional asset unloading — One-click presets for Contact Form 7, WooCommerce, Elementor core, Elementor Swiper (carousel only), Elementor gallery, WP Bakery, Beaver Builder, and SiteOrigin Page Builder.
• Site-aware LCP optimization — Hero detection understands Elementor backgrounds, Divi, Bricks, WooCommerce product galleries, and WordPress core blocks.
• Built-in performance audit — Detects oversized images, third-party scripts, unused plugin CSS, and render-blocking resources — with actionable recommendations linked to settings.
• Logged-in caching without duplicate pools — One optimized guest HTML pool per URL. Logged-in visitors receive personalization on cache HIT (admin bar and user tokens restored live).
• Modern React dashboard — Clear modules for cache, optimization, asset unloading, preload, compatibility, performance audit, and tools. REST API–backed settings.
• Optimization Intelligence — A lightweight probe measures real LCP, CLS, INP, FCP, and TTFB, pinpoints the elements causing layout shifts or slow LCP, and offers one-click, reversible fixes. Real-visitor measurement (RUM) is off by default.
• Static asset cache — Optionally serves theme, plugin, upload, and third-party CSS/JS/fonts/images from a local cache with long-lived browser cache headers.
• Modular by design — Enable only what you need. Page cache, LCP/FCP optimizations, and asset unloading work independently.

How it works

Beky Cache Pilot detects your active page builder, scans for truly dynamic content, and only caches what is safe. You get full page cache, smart asset unloading, LCP/FCP optimization, and a built-in performance audit on standard WordPress hosting (Apache, nginx, or managed hosts).

Full page cache

• Static HTML cache with mobile and desktop variants
• Cache warming on publish
• Configurable cache lifetime and query-parameter exclusions
• Builder query vars excluded by default (Visual Composer, Beaver Builder previews, and more)
• Debug-friendly cache status for front-end requests

Asset optimization

• CSS minification and JavaScript defer
• Lazy loading and responsive image optimization (srcset/sizes)
• Third-party script delay (Google Analytics, GTM, Facebook, Hotjar, HubSpot, Clarity, and custom patterns)
• FCP / Speed Index optimization for render-blocking resources
• Critical resource preloading and resource hints
• TTFB link preload for LCP candidates
• CLS protection: reserved space for images, embeds, and Elementor background videos, plus font-display: swap

Builder and e-commerce compatibility

Beky Cache Pilot ships dedicated compatibility adapters for:

• Elementor (dynamic content scanner and safe cache policy)
• Divi Builder
• Bricks
• Beaver Builder and WP Bakery (standard builder adapter)
• WooCommerce (shop, product, cart, checkout, and account routes)

The compatibility tab in the dashboard shows detected builders and active adapters.

Who is Beky Cache Pilot for?

• Agencies — Deploy once across Elementor, Divi, Bricks, and WooCommerce sites.
• Elementor users — Cache static Elementor pages without breaking dynamic widgets.
• WooCommerce stores — Faster shop pages with a safe checkout.
• Site owners who want a cautious rollout — Safe Mode first. Speed second.
• Developers — REST API settings, WordPress filters throughout, and a modular PHP architecture.

External services

Beky API (api.beky.io)

When the Beky Platform companion is active, the plugin may connect to https://api.beky.io/api/v1 for license validation, settings sync, and plugin update checks. Data sent includes your site URL, plugin version, and license key (when you activate a license). Terms: https://beky.io/terms — Privacy: https://beky.io/privacy

Beky storefront (beky.io)

License purchase and account management links may open beky.io. No data is sent until you visit those pages in your browser. Sales inquiries: sales@beky.io

Stripe

Subscription checkout and the customer billing portal (when licensed features use billing) are handled on Stripe-hosted pages. Billing is initiated only by a site administrator. Privacy: https://stripe.com/privacy — Terms: https://stripe.com/legal

Static asset cache: external assets (optional)

When the static asset cache is enabled and “mirror external assets” is on, your server downloads the CSS, JavaScript, font, and image files that your pages already load from third-party hosts (for example Google Fonts or a CDN) and serves local copies. Only the public file URL is requested; no visitor or site data is sent. You can exclude hosts or turn external mirroring off in the Cache tab. Each host’s own privacy policy applies to those requests.

Optimization Intelligence (local only)

The performance probe reports page-speed metrics and the page element involved (tag, CSS selector, media URL) to your own site’s REST API. Real-visitor measurement is off by default and sampled when enabled. The data is stored in your WordPress database only and is never sent to Beky or any third party.

Third-party scripts (optional delay feature)

When you enable third-party script delay, the plugin defers loading of scripts matching patterns you configure (defaults include Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Facebook, Hotjar, HubSpot, and Microsoft Clarity). Those services load in the visitor’s browser per your site configuration; the plugin does not send visitor data to those providers from your server. See each provider’s privacy policy for details.
