How Do WordPress Caching Plugins Work?
For your site to load, there’s a back-scene process of loading a page that requires information (queries) to be sent to and from the database.
More specifically, there are queries sent in a PHP language to the site’s database, then information is retrieved and generated into an HTML page which is then returned to the website for display.
This multi-step process takes a lot of processing, and thus it takes a while for the information to load properly on the site.
At a basic level, “caching” is just the idea of storing important data in an accessible spot so that it can be more easily and quickly served up to visitors when needed. It is the process of creating a static version of your content and it eliminates the need to retrieve all that information and this process improves performance and loading speed improvements.
Why Do You Need a WordPress Caching Plugin?
A a caching plugin ensures that the content on your webpage does not affect your speed and that you can continue adding information to provide your users with the best content.
There are a lot of different websites available, of various sizes, with different content and information.
Some, like blog and magazine websites, rely on text, images, and videos. These elements make the web page exceedingly heavier and which will result in it taking longer to load.
Image heavy websites (like a photographer’s or portfolio website, for example), will also take longer to load because of the sheer amount of information.
So is the case with ecommerce websites, where there’s a lot of static, but also dynamic content (shopping items), which make the website heavier, so why not reduce the loading speeds of all the static bloat and make sure that your users have a better experience?
Note: dynamic content can also be cached by using a CDN cache instead of the original, probably distant server, thus reducing the time it takes to load.
Caching, therefore, increases the loading speed of websites and according to Google, “no matter what, faster is better and less is more”.
Note: Using caching plugins is not the only method to increase your websites
