Today I'm going to dive into browser caching, which is all about making your website faster and here's how it works: Browser caching is when your browser saves parts of a webpage locally on your device after the first visit. So, when you return or someone else visits, it can pull up these saved pieces without having to ask the server for them again. This means less work for the server since it's not constantly fetch these files. In WordPress, instead of relying on plugins for browser caching, you can directly configure your server's .htaccess file (for Apache) or your Nginx configuration to manage it. This approach gives you more control and can be more lightweight since it doesn't require additional plugins. Here are examples for both: Here is an example of an .htaccess to set some basic rules: # Enable expiration headers ExpiresActive On # Images ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access plus 1 year" ExpiresByType image/gif "access plus 1 year" ExpiresByType image/png "access plus 1 year" ExpiresByType image/webp "access plus 1 year" ExpiresByType image/svg+xml "access plus 1 month" # CSS and JavaScript ExpiresByType text/css "access plus 1 month" ExpiresByType application/javascript "access plus 1 month" # Fonts ExpiresByType font/ttf "access plus 1 month" ExpiresByType font/otf "access plus 1 month" ExpiresByType font/woff "access plus 1 month" ExpiresByType font/woff2 "access plus 1 month" # HTML ExpiresByType text/html "access plus 0 seconds" By setting up browser caching on your WordPress site, you can see a big jump in how fast your site feels to returning visitors.

Today Ill talk about Page caching. This is a technique for enhancing website performance and here is what it is and how it works in WordPress in particular. Page caching involves generating and storing a fully rendered version of a webpage and serving visitors this page instead of rebuilding it everytime. This results in a reduced server load and better page speed times because, your server doesn't have to work as hard performing database queries or PHP script execution. There are a multitude for WordPress, like W3 Total Cache, WP Super Cache, WP Rocket or LiteSpeed Cache. All of these plugins handle the caching process, managing when and how pages are cached and served. Although it is not without its problems my personal go to is WP rocket, the biggest problem I have with it is issue actually rebuilding the critical CSS when you run it. By implementing page caching, WordPress sites can achieve significant improvements in speed and server efficiency, combine this with Cloudflare and you are leading to a better user experience.
