Breeze, by default, supports Varnish. It has been tested to be fully compatible with Cloudways Servers that come with Varnish pre-installed. If you are using hosting providers other than Cloudways, we suggest you confirm Varnish support with your hosting provider ### Ondersteunt Breeze WooCommerce? Breeze is fully compatible with WooCommerce, out of the box. It does not require any special configurations. ### Ondersteunt Breeze WordPress multisite? Breeze is fully compatible with WordPress Multisite without the need for any extra configuration. ### How does Breeze handle WordPress Mltisite? Breeze handles all WordPress Multisite instances globally. All the settings for multisite are now handled on the network level. ### Is Breeze compatibel met andere WordPress cache plugins? We DO NOT recommend using two WordPress cache plugins at the same time on any WordPress website. We strongly recommend that you use Breeze as the only cache plugin for your website. If there are any other cache plugins installed, please ensure that you have disabled them prior to proceeding with the Breeze installation. ### Is Breeze compatibel met HTTPS? Breeze does not require any special configuration to work with HTTP or HTTPS pages. ### Heeft Breeze compatibiliteitsproblemen met andere bekende plugins? Breeze has been tested with popular plugins available on WordPress.org. Please feel free to report any incompatibilities on the WordPress Support Forums or on [Cloudways Community Forum](https://community.cloudways.com/). ### Ondersteunt Breeze CDN? Breeze supports CDN integration. It allows all static assets (such as images, CSS and JS files) to be served via CDN. ### What does Breeze’s Database Optimization feature do? WordPress databases are notorious for storing information like post revisions, spam comments and much more. Over time, databases l become bloated and it is a good practice to clear out unwanted information to reduce database size and improve optimization. Breeze’s database optimization cleans out unwanted information in a single click. ### Will comments and other dynamic parts of my blog appear immediately? Comments will appear upon moderation as per the comment system (or policy) set in place by the blog owner. Other dynamic changes such as any modifications in files will require a full cache purge. ### Can I exclude URLs of individual files and pages from cache? You can exclude a file by mentioning its URL or file type (by mentioning file extension) in the exclude fields (available in the Breeze settings). Exclude will not let the cache impact that URL or file type. If Varnish is active, you will need to exclude URLs and file type(s) in the Varnish configuration. If you are hosting WordPress websites on Cloudways servers, follow [this KB to exclude URLs from the Varnish cache](https://support.cloudways.com/how-to-exclude-url-from-varnish/). ### Werkt het met alle hosting providers?

I find it to be a very solid cache plugin. My oldest site was using WP Rocket instead. Recently switched that one to Breeze, too, and have no regrets. My belief is that the rating for this plugin is too low. Cache is difficult and can be confusing, that’s the nature of the beast. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/0efab5ac985dac542fa1e5d5710d71fe5995801e111b1e2a72a4128fb0c336e2? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Stunning performance!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/stunning-performance/)󠁿 [lorenzobrandimarte](https://profiles.wordpress.org/lorenzobrandimarte/) 25 juli 2025 Finally, a performance plugin that actually does its job!
