What the author says it does
Breeze is a free, simple (yet powerful) and user-friendly caching plugin developed by the Cloudways team. It offers various options to optimize WordPress site performance at various levels. It works equally great with WordPress, WordPress with WooCommerce and WordPress Multisite.
Breeze excels in the following areas:
• Performance: Breeze improves website speed and resource optimization. Other features include file level cache system, database cleanup, minification, support for Varnish cache and simplified CDN integration options.
• Convenience: Breeze is easy to install and configure directly from WordPress. Configuring Breeze is easy and most of the default options work well right out of the box. The recommended settings should work on all your WordPress websites seamlessly.
• Simplicity: Breeze is designed to be simple for all users. Just install and activate the plugin and you’ll see the results instantaneously.
What makes Breeze Cache Plugin awesome is that it comes with builtin support for Varnish. If Varnish is not installed on your servers, Breeze will utilize its internal cache mechanism to boost up your WordPress site performance.
FEATURES
- Seamless integration with Varnish Cache for efficient content delivery. No manual adjustments needed – all settings come pre-configured for your convenience.

Does Breeze support Varnish and to what extent?

Does Breeze support WooCommerce?
Breeze is fully compatible with WooCommerce, out of the box. It does not require any special configurations.
Does Breeze support WordPress Multisite?
Breeze is fully compatible with WordPress Multisite without the need for any extra configuration.
How does Breeze handle WordPress Mltisite?
Breeze handles all WordPress Multisite instances globally. All the settings for multisite are now handled on the network level.
Is Breeze compatible with other WordPress cache plugins?
We DO NOT recommend using two WordPress cache plugins at the same time on any WordPress website.
We strongly recommend that you use Breeze as the only cache plugin for your website. If there are any other cache plugins installed, please ensure that you have disabled them prior to proceeding with the Breeze installation.

Where this page's numbers come from
Read from the WordPress.org plugin API on , when WordPress 7.1.4 was the current release. WordPress.org rounds active installs into buckets. These are the directory's figures, not my verdict, and I haven't tested this plugin.
