As a Cloudways user, I have Breeze installed on all 10+ of my WordPress websites. I find it to be a very solid cache plugin.

My oldest site was using WP Rocket instead. Recently switched that one to Breeze, too, and have no regrets.

My belief is that the rating for this plugin is too low. Cache is difficult and can be confusing, that's the nature of the beast.

I’m having an issue with Breeze cache interfering with WooCommerce mini-cart/cart contents.

Symptoms:

• On homepage, shop and category pages the cart count/mini-cart often shows as empty even when items are in the cart.
• Product pages work fine.
• Adding /?nocache to the URL instantly fixes the problem, which suggests server-side cache is serving a stale HTML copy.

Troubleshooting already done:

• Verified Cloudflare rules: dynamic endpoints (wc-ajax, admin-ajax, wp-json) are bypassed and return cf-cache-status: BYPASS.
• Set Cloudflare Browser TTL back to “Respect headers.”
• Added Varnish cookie exclusions for WooCommerce (woocommerce_items_in_cart, woocommerce_cart_hash, wp_woocommerce_session_, etc.).
• Disabled Varnish entirely — issue still present.
• Disabled Breeze “Cache System” and “Browser Cache” — issue immediately fixed, mini-cart always reflects the correct cart contents.

So this confirms that Breeze’s page cache is caching the HTML that contains the cart fragments, and serving a stale “cart=0” view to shoppers.

Question:
What is the recommended way to configure Breeze so that it never caches WooCommerce cart/session-dependent content (homepage, shop, category pages), while still allowing me to benefit from Breeze for static asset optimisations?

I’d like to avoid fully disabling Breeze if possible, but right now it looks like it’s caching the mini-cart info even though WooCommerce uses cookies to identify sessions.

Thank you

Finally, a performance plugin that actually does its job! This one, combined with an image converter to AVIF/WebP plugin, and your website will fly!

This plugin doesn't work correctly with WPML multicurrecy plugin. When I am loggen it the currecy switcher works fine. But if I'm not logged it then switcher doesen't work. If I disable the plugin or use another caching plugin then switcher works fine.

I asked the WPML support and they told that Breeze plugin is not compatible with WMPL multicurrency.
I am not the only one there are several people with same issue and it seems it has been so at least 2 years. So the issue is know but hasen't been fixed.

I've been using it for several years and have had a great experience with it. It's very simple to use and works better than other cache plugins I've used.

It's a great plugin, I particularly like the Preload Links option, which generates the cache in advance when users hover over links, making the page load faster upon visit.

176.xx.96.xxx - - [10/Mar/2025:23:59:58 +0300] "GET /?no-cache=1741640362 HTTP/2.0" 200 30621 "-" "WordPress/6.7.2; blabladotcom" "176.xx.96.xxx"

When I monitor the Nginx logs in real-time, I see that it keeps sending the above request on its own, almost as if it's performing a DDoS attack on the website. After a while, I notice an increase in CPU usage.

When I disable the plugin, I observe that these requests stop and the CPU and RAM usage decrease.

Please check your own Nginx logs.

I really wanted to like this plugin. The features it claims to offer would be a great benefit to any site running a CDN like Cloudflare. Unfortunately for me, installing this plugin felt like dumping a bottle of molasses over my site-- everything noticeably bogged down, my Varnish hit rate tanked, and it got to the point where doing anything on the backend became a huge headache due to the speed. No amount of settings tweaking would fix these issues.

I uninstalled the plugin, and voila, things worked again. I'm going to have to keep looking for another cache management solution.

Without Breeze my site is much slower on the fronted. And with breeze activated reponsetimes are great and conversion is higher. It however crashes my site multiple times a day where no-one can access anything and all servies must be restarted and i have mutliple people here waiting for the issue to be solved until it happens again. We logged a ticket 2!!! months ago. they acknowledge the issue but nothing happens. my advice would be to search for a more stable caching plugin as this is too unreliable to run a business on.

Breeze support were very responsive and helpful when dealing with a support ticket I recently submitted. Excellent communication and a quick solution provided.
