How does the caching work?
This plugin requires minimal setup time and allows you to easily take advantage of the benefits that come from using native WordPress caching.
Dessky Cache has the ability to create 2 cached files. One is plain HTML and the other version is gzipped (gzip level 9). These static files are then used to deliver content faster to your users without any database lookups or gzipping as the files are already pre-compressed.
System Requirements
- PHP >=5.3
- WordPress >=4.1
