What Is Beta Testing?

Beta testing allows a limited group of users to try out upcoming versions of BerqWP before they’re officially released. These versions may include:

  • New features and improvements
  • Performance enhancements
  • Bug fixes and code refactors

Your feedback during this stage is crucial — it helps us find edge cases, fix issues early, and ensure a stable experience for all users.

How to Test the Beta Version

Follow these steps to ensure safe and effective testing:

✅ Step 1: Backup First

Before anything else, create a full backup of your website using your preferred backup plugin or hosting dashboard.

✅ Step 2: Use a Staging Site (Recommended)

If possible, test on a staging environment to prevent any issues on your live site.

✅ Step 3: Install the Beta Version

  • Deactivate the current BerqWP plugin (your settings will remain).
  • Upload the downloaded ZIP file via the WordPress Plugin Installer.
  • Activate it and go to BerqWP Settings.

✅ Step 4: Test the Following

  • Fluid Images
    BerqWP’s new Fluid Images feature takes image optimization to the next level. Many website images are larger than their containers, especially on mobile devices, which can slow down load times and increase bandwidth usage. Fluid Images automatically generates retina-ready WebP images tailored to the container size, using the image srcset attribute. This ensures perfectly sized images are loaded for mobile, tablet, laptop, and desktop screens—without compromising quality
    To test: Go to Plugin Settings > Image Optimization, enable “Fluid Images,” and flush your cache. Then browse your site on different devices and check that images are crisp and load quickly across all screen sizes.
  • Custom Path for advanced-cache.php
    BerqWP now allows you to specify a custom path for the advanced-cache.php file by defining a constant in your wp-config.php file.
    Example: define(‘BERQWP_ADVANCED_CACHE_PATH’, ‘/your/custom/path/advanced-cache.php’);
  • Cache Warmup
    This release includes improvements to cache warmup. Flush the cache from the plugin settings, wait five minutes, and check the cached pages list. Pages marked as “completed” indicate the cache warmup is functioning as expected.
  • Site Performance
    While testing, keep an eye on your PageSpeed scores and general website behavior. Report any changes, issues, or improvements you observe during your testing process.

✅ Step 5: Report Any Issues

  • Send feedback, screenshots, or bug reports to support@berqwp.com
  • You can also reply directly to the beta newsletter emails
