Two cache plugins may both generate page files, rewrite server rules, minify assets, and purge after publishing. When fresh HTML arrives with missing CSS, nobody can tell which plugin owns the active directory or invalidation event.<\/p>\n

The issue is not the plugin count itself; it is duplicated ownership of the same cache or optimization layer.<\/p>\n

    What it means<\/h2>\n

    Two cache plugins conflict when both control one representation or lifecycle event. Separate tools can coexist if their responsibilities do not overlap and ownership is documented. Two page caches, two asset pipelines, competing drop-ins, or duplicate purge hooks make output and rollback unpredictable.<\/p>\n
