Caching

While the indexing technique works on database layer, the caching feature does the same for the HTML page components to increase fast access to the frontend. Caching stores this kind of data in order to provide the visitors with access to faster download.

To enable caching, you need to perform the following steps:

1. Open the terminal or command prompt.

2. Access the packt/bin directory.

3. Run the php magento cache:enable command.
