We are living in a generation where people abandon slow-loading websites. WordPress websites are based on PHP coding and MySQL database queries which are generally ‘heavy’ for a web server or a web browser to deliver fast especially when you have increasing amount of posts and visitors. It is very essential to have a caching mechanism for a WordPress site if it’s hosted on a basic or shared web hosting plans. In simple words, WordPress caching keeps a copy of frequently accessed contents such as posts, pages or images closer to the visitors’ location and hence speeding up the loading time.
