Works with caching plugins?

Hi ac1643,

Caching has no problem with this plugin unless you cache admin page. Basically, this plugin doesn’t affect your public facing page (except some kind of ajax). I’m a user of WP Super Cache (and of course IP Geo Block) in my site.

Thanks for your asking.

Hi ac1643,

The short answer is NO. Because the HTTP request against the WordPress site to just show the page won’t harm the site. WP core analyze such a request according to the format of the permalink, and respond the page if the request is valid. Otherwise, 404 page will be shown.

But there’s some PHP files that will do something important other than just respond the page. For examle, wp-login.php, xmlrpc.php, admin-ajax.php and so on. Most of the plugins also do something, and some of the themes include such PHP files.

So IMO, especially in case of WordPress, validation of every request is almost no use but just waste the resource of the server. Of course, the core have had a lot of vulnerabilities. But these are not simple enough to validate the pattern of SQLi, CSRF and so on. So I should find the way of protecting the sites against these vulnerabilities.

So the long answer is YES.
