Thank you, Paul! Great job, works beautifully! Busted is our new favorite WordPress
plugin! It really should have millions of installs, but many developers still don’t
know about it. It solves a very important issue where many developers are not able
to force browser cache refresh on client side. Installing and using this plugin 
could not be simpler and it just works, straight out of the box! Some brilliant 
stuff right here!

Plugin works great with my woocommerce store. Finally don’t have to be worried that
customers sees issues due to cached files.

Works out of the Box. No more “browser cache clearing” advice to clients needed!
And Update would be awesome

It appends the version numbers, but the main page still gets stuck before loading
due to pre-cached stuff.
