What is the idea behind assigning random file names for css and .js files? This created lots of trouble for us when we integrated with third part websites for A/B testing or other services. Why can't we just have one styles.css and scripts.js under /var/cache/ folder?
This is a normal practice - to change the name of combined CSS/JS after you clear the cache. However probably we can change name only in case some of the files were changed, otherwise keep the old name.
Name should be change in order to deprecate old CSS/JS file after change in it.
It is available and can be used, but there are still restrictions like multi-storefronts are not supported.
We maintain this add-on but do not invest in its improvement.
That said does it work for V4.4.3 ? Where can we buy it ? Not referring to Simtech Dev.s addon, that might be just around 300 plus USD too much for our budget

Okay yes I overlooked that part but did you then play with it ?
I tried it to install the addon as you normally or these days would with an addon but that did not work and I got an error saying that the addon was not supported on V4.4.3
Even though the Github mentions it as it would work from V4.3.7 and up.
Perhaps I should try the pre V4.2 method of installing as suggested by CS Cart (Simtech) in the description on Github.
Nope, haven't messed with it. I really don't have a need to mess with it since my pages load in a second or less. Of course I use the KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) method when it comes to my stores meaning I don't implement anything that would drag the store down such as a crazy amount of features. Unfortunately the google recaptcha has slowed it down some though but I reckon you have to give and take.

What median page loading scores does you store have right now ? How many visitors in general ? Specs of your server ?
What users don't realize (it's very rarely discussed if at all) is that properly configuring mysql can make a huge difference in page load times. I've spent quite a lot of time getting mysql configured for CSC and even though I don't have enough resources, I have gotten it close enough.
The biggest pitfall CSC has is joins without indexes. I've brought it to their attention in the past but I have seen very little in improvement.
I hear ya, I read somewhere that for instance in the 90s still even in Corporate IT America this really has never been solved and that in many instances pitfalls have been covered up by just putting in more resource into it like faster ram, faster drives, better hardware.. etc etc.
But even then. I am very curious to your store. Would you mind PM me the link to your store at your discretion. I have no idea right now on how to make this xVarnish work properly with the Simtech addon that I managed to get installed. Pfff
At any rate just thought I gave you all who are following this thread an update.
I have xVarnish not just regular Varnish for Cpanel installed and the helpdesk at xVarnish has helped us get the right secret key to make xVarnish for Cpanel work with the Free Simtech Varnish Full Page Cache addon that you will find on Github.
I tested it on our beta store and pageloading is from on average over 10 attempts from 5 secs to 2 secs.
This is based upon a V4.3.8 store, cannot wait to do it on our production store which now is V4.4.3

We will consider fixing this.
@imac
Is it possible to disable the notification I am getting al the time when just doing anything in the admin backend of the store ?
