This talk would cover various aspects of website performance, and I’ll try to explain them in terms understandable to non-developers.
A lot of WordPress users have heard they need to “use a caching plugin”, and may even be using one without really understanding what it’s doing. It can be pretty technical, even for a lot of developers, so a lack of understanding leads to frustration when things go wrong.
I want to try and demystify it a little.
There are several different kinds of caching. What I’ll focus in this talk is specifically “page caching”. This is the kind of caching that plugins like LSCache WP, WP Super Cache, W3TC and others do.
