APCu object-cache and the only APCu based page-cache plugin available.

== Description ==

This plugin provides a super fast APCu object-cache and the only APCu based page-cache plugin available.
Using an object-cache will speed up your site – APCu is the fastest cache, compared against the two other memory-based cache options Redis and Memcached.

– Object caching involves storing variables and database queries thereby speeding up PHP execution times. This reduces the load on your server, and delivers content to your visitors faster.
- Page caching refers to caching the content of a whole page on the server-side. Later when the same page is requested again, its content will be served from the cache instead of regenerating it from scratch.

Requires PHP APCu extension.
Lightweight (70KB) and resource-efficient.
Backend CPU footprint: 6 ms.
Frontend CPU footprint: <1 ms.

== 3rd party as a service ==
