WordPress Cache and How It Can Improve Your Website Speed

How To: Intermediate Optimization WordPress 15 MIN READ

Nearly half of the World Wide Web is powered by WordPress, but somehow there’s a common misconception that WordPress websites are slow and laggy. In this article, we’ll give you full information about one of the techniques that can highly improve your website performance, WordPress caching. Caching is a technique that allows you to store the result of a long-running task in a fast access memory, and then reuse that result without actually doing the task. This means that cached content is displayed a lot faster than content that’s loaded directly from the server. It’s like memorizing your multiplication tables.

Caching can be performed in different stages of a running web application, so every stage is called a cache layer. We’ll go through…
