SuperCacher works before the Apache web server providing an excellent caching solution for all types of websites. We have added 3 different caching options to help you get the best result for your particular site:
NGINX Direct Delivery Option
A caching solution for your website’s static resources. When a visitor makes a request for any of the static resources of your website – images, CSS, JavaScript, etc., Nginx directly delivers them without asking the server for the file. This type of caching can be used for all types of sites. For more information read our NGINX Direct Delivery article.
Dynamic Cache Option
This is an extremely effective solution for WordPress and other dynamic websites. It caches the HTML output created by the PHP code of the website application and serves it directly from the RAM, instead of generating it each time. This significantly improves the website loading speed. For more information read our Dynamic Cache option article.
Memcached Option
This is a popular caching system that is used by many database-powered sites like YouTube, Facebook, Wikipedia, and many others. It caches the results from the database queries into the server’s RAM, speeding up the website tremendously. For more information read our Memcached Option article.
