Advanced caching.
WHAT IT DOES
Stores the results of database queries so they are not repeated.
WHEN IT HELPS
Sites with heavy database use: large shops, membership sites, anything with complex queries.
WHEN IT DOES NOT
Simple sites where page caching already serves most visitors a stored copy.
WHAT IT REQUIRES
Usually a caching system available on the server.
Availability varies by hosting plan.
ASK BEFORE ASSUMING
Open a ticket asking what is available on your account.
FOR LOGGED-IN USERS
Where page caching does not apply, object caching is where the gain is.
That makes it valuable for membership and shop sites specifically.
WHAT TO DO FIRST
Page caching and images.
Object caching is a refinement, not a starting point.
IF YOU ARE HITTING RESOURCE LIMITS
Ask us. Frequently the cause is a query pattern rather than a caching gap.
