Install the Plugin
Download Nexora Engine from the WordPress plugin directory or upload the ZIP directly from your dashboard.
Plugins → Add New → Search 'Nexora Engine' → Install Now → Activate
Run the Setup Wizard
On first activation, the Setup Wizard automatically launches. It detects your server type (Apache, Nginx, LiteSpeed), runs a pre-flight compatibility check, and configures the cache layer in under two minutes.
Nexora Engine → Setup Wizard → Follow 5 steps
Enable Static Site Generation
Toggle SSG on in the Build Control panel. Nexora uses HMAC-signed loopback requests to capture authenticated renders of every page — no headless browser required.
Nexora Engine → Build Control → Enable SSG → Generate All Pages
Activate Ghost Protocol (Pro)
Enable Stealth Proxy to cloak WordPress fingerprints. Asset paths are remapped, X-Powered-By headers are stripped, and window.wp is masked to window.ncx — invisible to scanners.
Nexora Engine → Headless Mode → Enable Ghost Protocol
Verify & Monitor
Run the built-in diagnostic to confirm your cache layer is active. The Neural Pulse dashboard shows live cache hit ratio, TTFB, and Core Web Vitals from real visitors.
Nexora Engine → Tools → Run Diagnostic → Check Dashboard
Confirm Everything

After setup, verify these checkpoints to make sure Nexora is operating at full capacity on your server.
