We talk a lot about conversion funnels, metering content, and optimizing your checkout flow to turn casual readers into paid subscribers.
But what happens after they subscribe?
If your site is like most WordPress membership sites, your logged-in users are getting the slowest experience.
The reason: Standard caching doesn’t work for logged-in users.
To prevent one subscriber from seeing another subscriber’s private data, hosts usually bypass the cache entirely for anyone who logs in. That means every time your premium subscribers load a page, the server has to build it from scratch.
The result? Your most valuable customers, the ones paying you recurring revenue, are getting lagging dashboards and slow load times.
BigScoots just fixed this
Our friends at BigScoots have developed a new Logged-In User Cache feature, and it is a game-changer for Leaky Paywall publishers.
They essentially create a dedicated, private cache container for every authenticated visitor. This means your subscribers get served content instantly from the edge (Cloudflare) rather than waiting for your origin server to churn it out.
The results are wild:

Best of all, they built this to work natively with Leaky Paywall.
We were thrilled to see Leaky Paywall highlighted in their announcement as one of the key integrations for this new tech. If you are serious about retention and user experience, this is the infrastructure upgrade your publication needs.
You can read the full breakdown of how it works and see the benchmarks on their blog.
Stop punishing your paying members with slow speeds.
