Cache-Busting is Overly Aggressive

    One of my startup’s (https://www.luhnar.com) clients has a site that could benefit from caching the HTML pages to speed up their page load times. However, exit-popup (which they are using on the site) uses time() as the version string for it’s JS file as per the below source line:

    https://plugins.trac.ww.wp.xz.cn/browser/exit-popup/trunk/exit-popup.php#L148

    It would be great if this could be changed to either use the actual version number of the plugin, or a hash of the contents of the JS file. Otherwise, the generated HTML is always different, and also the requested JS itself can’t be cached since the URL is constantly changing.
