Many different kinds of server environments where cache configuration isn't the same and many kinds of sites where some things really shouldn't be cached (shopping carts, admin panels).
- coding123 5y agoI don't know, Wordpress had like what, 1 billion years to wrap it's connection manager to do auto-caching for anonymous users - I mean a 15 second cache internally managed by files on the disk in the temp folder would have instantly made Wordpress be fault tolerant during a hug of death.
- joecool1029 5y agoI get the criticism but looking at the history of caching plugins' security issues and the commonality of screwed up caching, it's obvious there isn't a one-size-fit-all solution. Rather than dynamic caching, most users wanting to survive getting hugged on a simple blog would probably best be served by one of the static site generators for Wordpress. Takes out the main bottlenecks and leaves a lot more flexibility in how to serve it.
