Performance Results

Loading 7.2x faster with MilliCache!

Metric	Without Cache	With MilliCache	Improvement
Server Response (TTFB)	51ms	7ms	86% faster
Page Load (LCP)	104ms	60ms	42% faster

Server Response is the primary metric for page caching. It measures how fast the server delivers the HTML. MilliCache focuses on serving cached pages instantly, eliminating database queries and PHP processing.

Page Load includes frontend rendering time, which depends on themes, scripts, and assets. Content optimization is outside MilliCache's current scope.
