Best Cache WordPress Plugins

WordPress cache plugins reduce server response times and database load by storing pre-generated versions of pages and serving them to visitors without executing PHP or querying MySQL on every request. Full-page caching, object caching, database query caching, browser caching headers, and CDN integration are the core capabilities offered by plugins in this category. High-traffic publishers, WooCommerce stores, and any site on shared hosting rely heavily on cache plugins to stay fast under load and to pass Google's performance thresholds. The right caching strategy — often combining a cache plugin with an object cache like Redis — can reduce server response time from seconds to milliseconds.
