<p>One of the most important aspects of owning a website is having it rank well with search engines.  After all, no one creates a site intending for it to be buried on page 20 of a Google search.</p>
<p>CodeDragon SmartCache was designed as a powerful performance and caching system for WordPress websites yet easy enough for the non-technical site owner to understand.  Employing several “layered” capabilities such as minifying, combining, page and browser caching and CDN support, SmartCache is able to:</p>
<ol>
<li>Condense served resources to improve network bandwidth</li>
<li>Improve user experience by reducing the time it takes to offer your site content</li>
<li>Focus on the key aspects that search indexing sites like Google regard when ranking the site</li>
</ol>
<p>After installing SmartCache it will automatically activate the most optimal settings for your site.  If you would like to further customize these settings, this introduction will walk you through some of the key steps.  A more detailed instruction is available in our <a href="https://www.codedragon.ca/documentation/start-up" rel="nofollow ugc">Startup Document</a>.  Ultimately, we have built SmartCache so that getting up and running does not require making manual changes to the wp-config.php, .htaccess, or other site files.</p>
<h4>Minifying</h4>
<p>At the lowest level, SmartCache will minify Javascript, CSS stylesheets, fonts, and HTML content.  As well, it can automatically minimizes render-blocking files, and remove query strings.</p>
<h4>Combining</h4>
<p>By combining files, SmartCache helps to reduce the number of requests for files from the server, thus shortening the amount of time required to load a page.</p>
<h4>Page Caching</h4>
<p>Page caching goes further by implementing GZip Compression, preparing a separate HTTPS cache and serving a “flattened” HTML version of your site’s pages.  With GZIp Compression and static HTML content pages are provided with less processing from the server.</p>
<h4>Browser Caching</h4>
<p>At this point SmartCache instructs your server with the preferred expiry periods for several file types, so client browsers can comfortably reuse cached files until they expire.</p>
