Our analysis
AI-assistedreBusted! is a WordPress plugin designed to manage browser caching effectively. It ensures that the browser cache for files is only refreshed when those files have been modified, which helps to avoid unnecessary cache clearing. The plugin is particularly useful for developers and site administrators who want to resolve Content Delivery Network (CDN) issues without needing to purge the CDN cache manually.
This plugin is safe for use on live sites and is compatible with multisite installations. It requires specific WordPress functions to load scripts, making it suitable for most files, although it does not account for hard-coded URLs.
Best for: Developers and site administrators managing caching on WordPress sites.

From the developer

Saves you from asking “have you emptied your cache?”.
Forked and updated for todays WordPress and PHP from the original plugin by Paul Clark.
