New in 2.0.0-pl
Version 2.0.0 is a complete architectural rewrite focused on maximum performance and stability for PHP 8.2+.
New Core Engine: Bypasses the MODX parser entirely, dumping pure static HTML files directly to disk for 0ms TTFB.
New Cache Warmer Widget: A dedicated Dashboard Widget (MonsterFPC Crawler) to silently warm up the cache via a throttled background process.
Surgical Purging: Uses new JSON mapping to instantly delete only the exact cache file of the resource being edited, without calculating URLs.
Disk Exhaustion Shield: Strictly refuses to cache 404/403 error pages to protect against bot scanning.
Smart URL Normalization: Ignores tracking query strings (e.g., ?fbclid=, ?utm_source=) to prevent cache duplication.
Ajax Hole Punching: Added the MonsterFPC_Ajax snippet to inject dynamic content into static pages using the Fetch API.
Cleanup: Removed legacy .gz generation and CSS/JS combination to guarantee 100% compatibility with modern CDNs like Cloudflare.
