How To Configure Server Cache and Minification Feature?
The server cache and minification feature offers powerful optimization options to minimize page loading times and enhance website performance. Let's explore the benefits and configuration instructions for this feature:
Why Should You Activate These Features?
Server cache helps your website load faster by storing commonly used data in memory. This way, when a page is requested, the server quickly provides it using the saved data instead of fetching all the information from the database again. This reduces waiting times significantly, making the website more responsive and quicker for visitors
Smarty cache speeds up your website by saving the final HTML of pages after they are first created. When a template is used again, instead of processing the entire template from scratch, the website can simply load the finished HTML from the cache. This reduces the time it takes to render templates, making pages appear faster for the user without the need to repeatedly generate the same content.
Minification makes your website files smaller by removing unnecessary parts like extra spaces and unused characters from HTML, JavaScript, and CSS code. This makes the files lighter, so they load faster. Faster loading improves the overall speed of your website, providing a smoother and quicker browsing experience for visitors.
Using Server cache, Smarty cache, and Minification features together is highly recommended to optimize your website's performance. These technologies work to speed up loading times, reduce server load, and enhance the browsing experience by efficiently managing data and minimizing file sizes.
