Caching basics

What this solves

Caching stores copies of your pages or assets so repeat visitors get them faster. This guide covers the basics.

Browser caching

Your server can send headers that tell browsers to cache static files (images, CSS, JS) for a period. In cPanel or via .htaccess you can set expiry headers. Plugins like WP Super Cache or W3 Total Cache can do this for WordPress.

Server-side caching

LiteSpeed or other server caches can store rendered pages. Enable LiteSpeed Cache in cPanel if available, or use a WordPress caching plugin that works with your host.

Plugin caching (WordPress)

Install a caching plugin (e.g. LiteSpeed Cache, WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache). Enable page cache and, if needed, object cache. Test the site after enabling to avoid broken layouts.
