Impatience is Impractical

Amazing products go unsold when no one sticks around for the presentation.

Your ability to survive on your services disappears when you promote yourself with a blank page.

Cached pages for your (WordPress) website aren’t a technical matter – they are a matter of survival.

Length of time visitors are kept
waiting in the lobby. Uncached (Blue). Cached (Green)

In my search to meet my own personal expectations for my desired user experience for ‘Autonomy & Agency v4.1.0’ – I auditioned, tested, and tested again multiple caching strategies and WordPress plugins.

I started with the big hitters of the caching plugin world – my frustration was great. Name recognition soared while ability to perform struggled to keep up.

With Developer Console open, I ran each ‘solution candidate’ through multiple testing variations and all I unearthed was disappointment and on a few occasions – even frustration.

The claim of ability to do a thing is not synonymous with the doing of the thing.

I believe if we were all afforded the time and capacity to look more closely at matters of performance and outcome across a great many arenas beyond simple page caching – we would find leading solutions aren’t often solutions at all.
