What if you could build sites that load instantly, without using cache?
In my work at the performance-focused WordPress host Servebolt, I come across a variety of developers, from those who build sites using themes to those who build sites from scratch. The majority, regardless of skillset, have the same issue. They build sites that are cache dependant in one way or another.
To build cache dependant sites is something many have learned they have to because close to all hosting companies are saying so. Some hosting companies even force you to use caching. The truth is that, unless you pay by CPU time, the only one really benefiting from you building cache dependant sites is your hosting company.
In this talk, I will give you my arguments to why you should stop being cache dependant, and why that will make you into a much better developer. In-between the arguments I will give you some tips and tricks few others talk about, but that are proven to make your sites faster.
