A cache plugin will help to speed up your WordPress website.

Most pages on your website will not change very often, like a contact page or a blog post.

A caching plugin will create a static version of your web page. Website visitors are served the static version of your page rather than the dynamic version created by WordPress.

The static version of a website page will load much faster for a website visitor as the page does not need to utilise the WordPress database to pull information for the page (the page has the content in static form).

You have the ability to clear the cache, which will force the caching plugin to create a new cache, this would typically happen when you have made an update to a page.

Good caching plugins will automatically update the cache after you save edits to your WordPress page.

There are many caching plugins available, some are free and some are paid.
