A WordPress site without caching generates every page from scratch on every visit — queries the database, runs PHP, assembles HTML. With cache: 80% faster load for return visitors. We break down 4 caching layers: browser cache (Cache-Control headers, ETag), server cache (page, OPcache, object), CDN cache (edge servers worldwide), and WordPress plugins (LiteSpeed Cache, WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache) — and when caching breaks dynamic pages.
