In reply to: [Unique Headers] Clickable HeaderThe WordPress header image system does not include support for links.
I could potentially add it in, but it would likely break many sites, as they wouldn’t be designed to handle link tags being wrapped around the header image.

In reply to: [Spam Destroyer] No settings option showingOh, I see now. Sorry about that. I have inadvertently left the text from an earlier test version of the plugin in the plugins readme file. I will probably fix this later today.

In reply to: [Spam Destroyer] No settings option showingThe plugin has neither a “Settings” or “Clear Spam” option.
Perhaps you were looking at a different plugin?
I was wondering the same thing. I think some people are criticising it for a lack of free support, but that’s not really a judgement of the plugin itself.

In reply to: [Unique Headers] Wrong header showingAccording to the forum thread you linked to, this was a bug in the Weaver theme. I also installed the latest version of that theme, and it seems to work fine with the plugin, so I’m going to mark this as resolved now.

In reply to: [Simple Cache] Came with great recommendationsComparing the performance of two different caching plugins is actually quite complex. I recommended blitz.io in 2012, but I haven’t needed to test anything like this in quite a while … https://geek.hellyer.kiwi/2012/09/01/blitz-lo/
You are probably best off just using this Simple Cache plugin IMO, and not worrying too much about what it’s doing behind the scenes. People seem to try really hard to over complicate this stuff. All it’s doing is reducing the tiem (and load on the server) to generate the HTML on your page.
This plugin does seem to do one extra thing, as it has an option to minify your HTML, and that will reduce the size of the page itself, hence theoretically making it load faster. W3CTC and other large caching plugins also offer that functionality too.

In reply to: [Simple Cache] Came with great recommendationsA load test is probably the best option.
But you can also just check the page load time (for the page itself, not the page plus all it’s attached stuff like images, CSS and JS). You can test this via the Chrome element inspector from the Networking tab. You should notice a significant drop in load time on installing a static page caching plugin like this. You will likely not see any difference between this one and others though.

In reply to: [Simple Cache] Came with great recommendationsMeaning GTMetrix is mostly uesless for measuring the performance of caching plugins.

In reply to: [Simple Cache] Came with great recommendationsGTMetrix measures many things. The total load time is only one small part of what it does, so it is expected that the numbers before and after installing any caching plugin will be similar.

In reply to: [Spam Destroyer] Doesn't stop spam registrationI made some test versions which included support for blocking spam registrations, but the implementations were buggy, so I haven’t added support for those just yet sorry.

In reply to: [Unique Headers] really useful plugin!Hi!
Nice to see you found it useful 🙂Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Unique Headers] Wrong header showingThanks. I’ll take a look to see if this is a problem that can be handled at plugin level. My understanding of those new resolutions was that they’d work just fine with the existing URL filters I’m using in the plugin, but perhaps not. I’ll post back here when I know more.

In reply to: [Unique Headers] Wrong header showingI don’t understand sorry. What exactly do you feel is not behaving correctly?
