  1. FastPixel Cache 2.2.0Latest

    • 🤖 The AI Assistant Update
    • Release Date: November 4, 2026
    • ✨ New Features
    • WordPress Abilities API & MCP Support: FastPixel now registers its main actions as WordPress “abilities”. Combined with the MCP Adapter plugin, AI assistants (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other MCP clients) can discover and use them directly. More info: https://fastpixel.io/docs/fastpixel-ai-assista…
    • ⚡ Improvements
    • WP-CLI & AI Consistency: The wp fastpixel commands and the new abilities now share the same logic for reading URLs, paths, slugs and post/term IDs, so an exclusion added from the CLI or by an AI assistant is always stored the same way.
    • Global Cache Setup Link: The buttons on the Global Cache card now take you straight to the Global Cache activation page in your FastPixel dashboard.
    • 🛠️ Fixes
    • Subdirectory Installs: URLs built from stored exclusion paths no longer repeat the home path on WordPress sites installed in a subdirectory.
    • More Bug Fixes: Expanded unit test coverage for Dynamic Fragments, WP-CLI commands and the new abilities.
    • Update now and let your AI assistant check, purge and fine-tune your FastPixel cache for you! 🚀

  2. FastPixel Cache 2.1.0

    • 🧩 The Dynamic Fragments Update
    • Release Date: October 27, 2026
    • ✨ New Features
    • Dynamic Fragments (Beta): Keep a page fully cached and optimized while refreshing selected sections, such as a rotating testimonial or a daily offer. More info here: https://fastpixel.io/docs/fastpixel-dynamic-fragments-how-to-guide/
    • Global Cache Status Card: A new Global Cache card on the Pages tab shows whether edge caching is active and which provider is serving your pages (Cloudflare or FastPixel CDN). It includes a one-click “Check status” button and quick links to set up, manage or deactivate Global Cache in your FastPixe…
    • Rank Math SEO Integration: Changing Rank Math settings, such as titles, Local SEO data or modules, now purges the whole cache automatically. Editing a page’s or term’s SEO meta purges only that page, so your schema and meta tags stay up to date.
    • Cache Hit Ratio: The Diagnostics tab now shows your cache hit ratio together with the total hits, misses and requests.
    • ⚡ Improvements
    • Plain Permalinks Warning: The “plain permalinks” notice now states clearly that caching is inactive and links straight to Permalink Settings.
    • Clearer API Errors: When the optimizer can’t save a cached page, the site now returns the exact reason, such as an excluded URL, a cache folder that can’t be written or an invalid gzip payload. This makes troubleshooting much faster.
    • Faster, Safer Stats Tracking: Cache statistics now use proper file locking with a short wait limit. This removes stale lock files and keeps high-traffic pages from slowing down.
    • Cleaner Deactivation: When you deactivate the plugin, advanced-cache.php, the object-cache drop-in and WP_CACHE are removed first. The cache folder is deleted last, so a slow deletion can’t leave caching half-active.
    • 🛠️ Fixes
    • Purge All: Fixed an issue where the “Purge All” request could be rejected by the FastPixel API.
    • Cached Files Deletion on Deactivate: Fixed the “delete cached files” option on deactivation not working because the WordPress filesystem wasn’t initialized.
    • First-Run Cache Request: The automatic caching of your first pages after onboarding now runs only once, even when the settings page is opened in several tabs at the same time.
    • Settings Page Conflicts: Fixed an issue where other plugins could hide the FastPixel settings tabs by changing the current admin page during script loading.
    • Stats Endpoint Security: The statistics REST endpoints are now restricted to administrators.
    • More Bug Fixes: Several smaller stability fixes and expanded unit test coverage.
    • Update now to keep your dynamic content fresh without giving up full-page caching! 🚀
