<li>Dramatically reduces web server CPU and Memory use</li>
<li>Dramatically reduces database server CPU and Memory use</li>

<h3>Solutions to Common Problems</h3>
<p>The Vivio Swift plugin requires clear abstraction bettween front-end code (HTML, JavaScript, and CSS) and back-end code (PHP) in order to provide a benefit to it’s users. A great number of developers do not take the time to properly and clearly separate front-end code from back-end code in their development processes. While mixing front-end code with back-end coe is understandable from a “get the project done in the shortest amount of time possible” standpoint, it is generally considered to be bad coding practice by the established developer community for good reason.</p>
<p>Pages that mix front-end code and back-end code are going to be the cause of the vast majority of problems you will experience while working with Vivio Swift. If you’re not a developer, the Vivio Swift plugin provides the tools you need to work around those pages by excluding them from the caching process. You will lose the speed benefit from caching that Vivio Swift provides on those pages, but you will still benefit by using Vivio Swift on the pages that don’t have those issues. Check out the “Excludes” area in the Vivio Swift plugin to see what types of excludes you can set up for your site, or contact us if you would like to take advantage of Vivio’s Extended Support service and we can set these rules up for you.</p>
<p>If you are a developer (particularly a theme developer) you can drastically decrease your users load time by separating out your front-end code from your back-end code. Specifically, use JavaScript to pull data from a WordPress web service instead of embedding PHP functions on the front-end of your theme or plugin. This will theme’s or plugin’s performance not only be much better with Vivio Swift, but with all caching layers (like CDN’s).</p>
<p>Caching support is a marketable feature! Boost your sales by letting your users know that your theme or plugin is fully compatible with caching plugins like Vivio Swift.</p>
