Page Cache & Visibility Manager for Fastest Cache

Description

This plugin provides simple but powerful controls to manage caching and visibility on a per-page basis:

  • Exclude from cache – Prevent Fastest Cache from caching selected pages.
  • Hide from customers – Make selected pages invisible to unauthorised users (returns a discreet 404).
  • Menu auto-cleanup – Removes hidden pages from navigation menus for unauthorised users.
  • Customisable access – Choose which user capability (e.g., Editors or Admins) can see hidden pages.

Works out-of-the-box with WP Fastest Cache, and also sends strict no-cache headers respected by most caching systems.

Installation

  1. Upload the plugin folder to /wp-content/plugins/
    or install directly via Plugins Add New Upload.
  2. Activate the plugin from Plugins Installed Plugins.
  3. Go to Settings Page Cache & Visibility to configure:
    • Tick pages you want excluded from cache.
    • Tick pages you want hidden from non-staff.
    • Adjust the required capability (default: edit_pages).

FAQ

Does this only work with WP Fastest Cache?

It’s designed for Fastest Cache, but also sends no-cache headers that other caching systems respect.

What happens if I hide a page?

Non-staff users will see a standard 404. Staff with the required capability will still see the page.

Can I change who counts as staff?

Yes. Enter a capability such as edit_pages (Editors+) or manage_options (Admins only).

Will hidden pages still appear in menus?

No. The plugin automatically removes hidden pages from menus for unauthorised users.

I’ve been using this plugin to manage caching and page visibility, and it works really well. The interface is simple, and it integrates smoothly with Fastest Cache. I especially like the option to exclude specific pages and hide pages from non-staff users — saves a lot of time. Lightweight, easy to use, and does exactly what it promises. Highly recommended!
