A faster WordPress site starts with knowing what is actually slow.
NotchCache v0.4.0 is a finalized performance-suite build designed to cache and optimize WordPress conservatively, with a verified LiteSpeed-native path and safeguards that avoid turning every optimization on blindly.
The verified v0.4.0 release package is available below as a first-party download.
The LiteSpeed-native cache engine was verified on a real WordPress site: first request MISS, second request HIT, and the real homepage was served from LiteSpeed server-level cache on the second request. The working cache architecture is therefore frozen rather than rewritten for the release.
Diagnose first. Optimize second.
NotchCache focuses on measurable performance changes while keeping higher-risk controls opt-in. The standard path is designed to improve delivery without trading working JavaScript, layout stability or SEO markup for a synthetic score.
Page caching
LiteSpeed-native caching when verified, with a filesystem fallback architecture, runtime verification and controlled purge behavior.
CSS & JavaScript
Content-addressed same-origin CSS minification, conservative JavaScript minification and safe defer. JavaScript delay remains an explicit advanced option.
LCP & layout stability
LCP priority and preload controls, safe image and iframe lazy loading, and layout-stability protection that avoids risky image acceleration when geometry is unknown.
Fonts & resource hints
Google Fonts controls plus manual DNS prefetch and preconnect lists through WordPress resource hints.
Browser-cache controls
Optional WordPress-marked browser-cache rules for static assets, kept separate so they are not forced onto hosts that already manage those headers.
Warmup & diagnostics
Bounded cache warmup for the homepage and recent public content, plus local optimized-asset accounting and runtime diagnostics.
Deliberately not overstated
NotchCache v0.4.0 does not claim features it does not safely implement. Standard mode does not force CSS/JS combining; there is no advertised UCSS/CCSS generator, no WebP/AVIF conversion engine, and no automatic destructive database cleanup.
That restraint is intentional: the release prioritizes verified performance behavior and compatibility over a longer settings list.
NotchCache v0.4.0 is finalized.
The exact final ZIP has passed archive integrity, PHP lint and static safety checks and is available below as a first-party download from TopNotchAgency.us.
