|---|
| | 154 | =========== |
|---|
| | 155 | WordPress MU has a caching framework which allows third party developers |
|---|
| | 156 | to create cache engines that improve performance. |
|---|
| | 157 | There are two types of caching plugins available for WordPress. |
|---|
| | 158 | |
|---|
| | 159 | 1. Object Cache. |
|---|
| | 160 | These work by storing commonly accessed data in a rapid access storage |
|---|
| | 161 | container such as RAM or directly on the filesystem. |
|---|
| | 162 | To install these plugins copy them into your wp-content folder. |

| | 165 | Xcache: http://neosmart.net/dl.php?id=12 |

|---|
| | 167 | |
|---|
| | 168 | 2. Full page cache. |
|---|
| | 169 | These work by storing complete web pages and are generally faster than |
|---|
| | 170 | object cache plugins at the expense of less flexibility. On a busy |
|---|
| | 171 | WordPress MU site these may in fact slow down your server due to |
|---|
| | 172 | limitations in how the cached files are stored. Clearing out the cached |
|---|
| | 173 | files on a regular basis will alleviate this problem. YMMV. |
