In computing, a cache is a high-speed data storage layer which stores a subset of data, typically transient in nature, so that future requests for that data are served up faster than is possible by accessing the data’s primary storage location.
Complex pages like those on e-commerce sites can require dozens of steps to complete to display a page.
Most of the functions happen in milliseconds. But when you start to add them up, they can take some time. Which, in turn, increases the time needed to load a page.
A caching plugin will make a copy of that completed page, made up of all those parts. Then it displays that copy when the page is requested (for a predefined period).
That way, if three visitors request the same page within a minute or two, the page only has to be “built” once. The second and third visitors see the pre-built copy, which loads much faster since there’s no build time.
So caching gives your site the ability to respond more quickly, giving it an overall SEO boost. And perhaps most importantly, making for a better visitor experience.
