Lets discuss our research for improvement performance with caching here

simonpeters commented 9 years ago

Some ideas so far

simonpeters commented 9 years ago

Should we use plugins for caching?

https://wordpress.org/plugins/w3-total-cache/ https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-super-cache/ http://wp-rocket.me/

I feel by using these we lose to much control of the caching process.

Thoughts?

I think it's best not to use general plugins for caching. Maybe for very specific things like varnish ect

I vote to move the basic part of CDN asset handling form wordpress to gulp responsibility.

simonpeters commented 9 years ago

and only upload JS and CSS files to CDN? I assume having uploads on CDN wouldn't work well because we need to do on the fly image manipulation.

It is possible, there are plugins that do just that. But for the beginning isn't really necessary.
