The Vivio Swift WordPress Accelerator (beta) improves your sites speed and load times by providing a comprehensive page caching system that completely bypasses PHP using .htaccess files. The primary goal of this realease is to demonstrate and get feedback on the page caching systems, exclusion system, logging features, and refresh events that are provided by Vivio Swift.
Page Caching
- Highly aggressive default caching system works out-of-the-box on most installs
- Converts processing-heavy PHP pages to fast-loading HTML pages
- Dramatically reduces web server CPU and Memory use
- Dramatically reduces database server CPU and Memory use
- Completely bypasses PHP processing engine using extremely fast .htaccess redirects
- Dramatically improves existing CDN benefits by making more site pages cachable
Browser Caching
- Flexible Browser caching based on file types
- Group file types based on built-in catagories, like images, static assets, etc
