With caching, the server doesn't have to rebuild a page every time. It is one of the simplest ways to make your website much faster.
What does this mean in practice?
Cache means that ready-made versions of pages or files are stored, so they don't have to be generated again on every visit. There is cache on the server, in the visitor's browser and in a CDN.
Why does this matter for your business?
With caching, a page loads much faster and the server can handle more visitors at once. It's one of the simplest and most effective ways to speed up your site.
Examples and best practices
- Turn on page and object caching on the server.
- Set up browser caching for images and stylesheets.
- Clear the cache after you've changed your content.
- Exclude the shopping basket and forms containing personal data from caching.
