[Caches](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cache_(computing)) are ubiquitous in computing, and WordPress has its own caching subsystem. Caches contain short-term copies of the results of expensive database lookups or computations, and allow software to use the copy rather than repeating the expensive operation. This plugin (like other object-caching plugins) extends WordPress's caching subsystem to save those short-term copies from page view to page view.

If your provider offers redis, it may be a good choice. You can use it via tbe [Redis Object Cache](https://wordpress.org/plugins/redis-cache/) plugin. Sites using redis have one SQL database and another non-SQL storage scheme: redis. Other hosting providers offer [memcached](https://memcached.org/), which has the [Memcached Object Cache](https://wordpress.org/plugins/memcached/). And some large multi-purpose cache plugins, such as [LiteSpeed Cache](https://wordpress.org/plugins/litespeed-cache/), also offer object caching based on one of those cache server software packages.
