Why people choose Zinn® Cache over FlyingPress
A Redis object cache and tag-based purging are included in the free plugin.
If you add Pro, it starts at $49 a year with a free trial and no card needed.
Where it is the better choice
FlyingPress is one paid plugin focused on page speed, with plans up to unlimited sites and staging sites not counted against the licence. If you want a single commercial plugin for everything speed, it is worth a look.
Where Zinn® Cache fits
Zinn® Cache gives you the cache itself — page cache, object cache and smart purging — for free, with no trial clock. Pro adds optimisation from $49 a year when you are ready.
How to switch from FlyingPress in three steps
Install Zinn® Cache, keep it switched off
Add the free plugin from your WordPress dashboard. Before you turn it on, note which pages FlyingPress leaves uncached — cart, checkout, account pages — so you can check they stay uncached after the move.
Deactivate FlyingPress, then turn Zinn® Cache on
Never run two page caches at once. Deactivate FlyingPress first, then switch Zinn® Cache on. Shop and signed-in visitors are left out of the cache by default.
Check it is working
Open your site in a private window and reload: the status panel shows which page cache is in use, and the guide on checking your cache shows how to read the response headers. Then delete FlyingPress for good.
Questions about switching from FlyingPress
Can I run Zinn® Cache and FlyingPress together?
Not as two page caches — two caches storing the same page fight each other and make problems hard to find. Deactivate FlyingPress before you switch Zinn® Cache on.
Is Zinn® Cache really free?
Yes. The page cache, tag-based purging, the Redis object cache and shop-safe exclusions are free for good, with no licence key. Zinn® Cache Pro is an optional add-on from $49 a year, with a free trial and no card needed.
Will my site be faster than with FlyingPress?
Any good page cache makes the biggest difference: on our own measured test a cached page started arriving in 40 ms instead of 107 ms. How Zinn® Cache compares with FlyingPress on your site depends on your host and theme, so measure before and after — the benchmark page shows how.
