Installing the Nimbica WordPress Plugin

Two Ways to Install the Plugin

Method 1 — Download from your Nimbica dashboard (recommended)

Nimbica Connect is distributed through your Nimbica account rather than the public WordPress plugin directory, so searching for it inside WP-Admin will not find it. Sign in to your dashboard, click "Connect Website", and download the plugin zip — it is always the latest stable version, and the plugin keeps itself updated from your dashboard afterwards.

Method 2 — Download from Your Nimbica Dashboard

After creating your account and clicking "Connect Website", your Nimbica dashboard shows a direct plugin download link. Download the zip, then go to WP-Admin ➔ Plugins ➔ Add New ➔ Upload Plugin, upload the zip, and activate.

Two Ways to Connect the Plugin to Your Account

• API Key: Copy your site's API key from the "Connect Website" screen in your Nimbica dashboard. Paste it into the plugin's API Key field and click "Save & Connect".
• Email & Password: Click "Login with your Nimbica account" in the plugin settings and enter the same email and password you use at nimbica.com. No API key needed.

Auto-Deploy on Content Save

When enabled, Nimbica listens to WordPress publishing events. When an author publishes or updates content, Nimbica automatically re-optimizes and re-deploys only the affected pages — no manual builds needed.

Plugin Settings Overview

• Auto-Deploy on Save: Triggers an incremental edge update on post publish or update.
• Media Acceleration: Converts images to WebP/AVIF and generates responsive srcsets automatically.
• Dynamic Path Exclusions: Ensures /wp-json/*, /cart, and /checkout always route dynamically.
