Boost your WordPress speed with multi-layer caching: HTML, Redis, and Varnish for fast performance.

== Description ==
WPS-Cache enhances your WordPress site's speed by implementing multiple layers of caching:
- **HTML Cache:** Delivers pre-rendered static pages.
- **Redis Cache:** Accelerates database query performance.
- **Varnish Cache:** Handles HTTP-level caching for improved scalability.

== External Services ==
This plugin connects to external caching services to optimize performance:

- **Varnish Cache:**  
  The plugin sends HTTP requests (such as purge requests and connection checks) to a specified Varnish caching server. No personal or sensitive data is transmitted. For additional details, please review the [Varnish Cache documentation](https://varnish-cache.org/), its [Terms of Service](https://varnish-cache.org/TOS), and [Privacy Policy](https://varnish-cache.org/privacy).

== Installation ==
1. Upload the `WPS-Cache` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.
3. Navigate to the "WPS Cache" settings page and configure your caching options.
